Hi folks -
I’m trying to follow these directions so that I have a personal branch to work on the virt getting started guide, that is backed up to fedorapeople. Somehow I’m failing but I don’t know where.
This is what I tried :
git clone --bare https://git.fedorahosted.org/cgit/docs/virtualization-getting-started-guide.git/ virtualization-getting-started-guide.git
cd virtualization-getting-started-guide.git
git branch smccann_virtmanager
git checkout smccann_virtmanager
This gives me the following error: fatal: this operation must be run in a work tree.
Looking that up, it seems I shouldn’t have cloned as --bare.
So I try again….w/o the bare…
git clone https://git.fedorahosted.org/cgit/docs/virtualization-getting-started-guide.git/ virtualization-getting-started-guide.git
cd virtualization-getting-started-guide.git
git branch smccann_virtmanager
git checkout smccann_virtmanager
this looks better…
touch git-daemon-export-ok (so it’s visible on cgit)
scp it up to fedorapeople:
scp -r virtualization-getting-started-guide.git/ mccann2@fedorapeople.org:public_git/virtualization-getting-started-guide.git
So far so good. Let’s make a minor edit, add and commit…
(edit Book_Info.xml and build to ensure it works)
git add en-US/Book_Info.xml
git commit -m ‘first commit. Fix Book_Info.xml so it will build’
Now try to push that to fedorapeople:
git remote add fedorapeople mccann2@fedorapeople.org:public_git/virtualization-getting-started-guide.git
git push --mirror fedorapeople
This gets me the following batch of errors:
git push --mirror fedorapeople
