????? Thanks.? I'm still having problems:
??? ??????? 1.? I went to "github.com" and logged in with my standard
GitHub account
??? ??????? 2.? Then I clicked "+" in the upper right, just left of
my
GitHub ID icon, and selected "Import a repository", as Lionel
suggested.
??? ??????? 3.? " Your old repository?s clone URL" =
"https://r-forge.r-project.org/projects/ecdat/" with "Name"
= "Ecdat".
??? ?? ?? ??????? ** >> This failed, first giving me a 500 failure
code, then reporting " Repository creation failed."? When I tried it
again, I got, "The repository Ecdat already exists on this account."
????? What do you suggest I try next?
????? Thanks,
????? Spencer
