RStudio Project - Github Repository

[Johnnyantoun26]

Hi, I am attempting to clone a forked github repository in Rstudio using SSH but I am getting the following error. Has anyone experienced this error or does anyone have any advice on how to proceed? I am able to open project using HTPPS but not SSH. Thank you!

It looks like you are running this on your own machine and not the departmental server - the error is due to your private key having access permissions that are too open. Based on the path in your error message I am assuming you're on a Mac, in which case you can open terminal and run the following:

chmod og-rwx /Users/johnny/.ssh/id_rsa

This may have happened do to a preexisting ssh file, or more likely you have a slightly out of date version of the credentials package as these open permissions were a recently fixed bug between 1.3.0 and 1.3.1.

Thank you Colin! It is working now.
