embedding a photo from the repo

[nbrown20]

hi! I am trying to embed a photo in my markdown file from my repo but I keep getting an error. I've tired multiple paths but I basically keep getting "File lou.jpeg not found in resource path". What should I try next?

Hello. Would you be able to copy and paste the code you used? I see the image in your repo, so you should be able to use a relative file path.

sure, thanks!

i tried
and
and

is the code showing? it's not in the preview of my message -- ill attach an image

[djanvier]

The first line of code you tried ![](lou.jpeg) looks correct. I'm not sure why it's not working. Could you push your most recent changes to GitHub?
Also, you can insert code in your comments using two backticks `` or include a reproducible example using the reprex package

sure, i'll try -- thanks!

this is the message I get

[djanvier]

Oh, I see now! So this error means that some changes were made on GitHub that were not reflected locally. My guess is that it's referring to the photo you added on GitHub. In order for the repos to be the same, you need to pull from the repository on GitHub and then push your changes. If you pull correctly, the photo should be in the same folder as the README.md in your local version of R Studio. Let me know if you have any trouble with this!

thank you! do I have to create a new project to do this after I copy the code? thanks for your help so far!

[djanvier]

Nope! You should just be able to pull the changes from GitHub to your local repository.

It is not allowing me to pull the changes? Is git pull not the right command?

What’s the error message you’re seeing when you run git pull?

[nbrown20]

Error: unexpected symbol in "git pull"

thanks for all this help :)

Are you using the R console or the terminal tab? If that doesn’t mean much to you, try the git tab (to the right of the environment pane). You can click pull there.

ohhh I see -- thank you so much!
