I am using R Studio 2022.02.3 Build 492 with R 4.2.0 — “Vigorous Calisthenics” on a Win 10 PC.

When I double click on a R file, i.e. a R script, R studio opens and a 0 KB git.exe file is generated in the folder where my .R file was located.

I can not find any relevant information about this (my searches points towards using Git from RStudio). This started yesterday without any conscious change from my part and updating R and RStudio did not help.

• Is this something I should be worried about?
• How can stop this from happening?
