error when performing “push” on GIT. Mac user

[Judyfinegold]

I get the following error message when trying to push data into my repository from R Studio:

error: unable to read askpass response from "r postback-askpass"
fatal: could not read username for https://github.com. Device not configured

I have had significant issues trying to push data from my Rstudio to Github- initially I followed the videos to install Git and then the advice on this website including the link to stack overflow and entering my account details on my Terminal but still no luck!
Thanks

Dear Prof Evgeniou

Thank you so much! I finally have success! It took installing something called “Homebrew” also for my version of the mac in combination with these suggestions

Best wishes

Judith
