Couldn't find remote ref HEAD in Git

Question

I installed bonobo git server on windows 7.

I created a new repository "SFK" through that bonobo.

Then I cloned into that like:

git clone http://localhost/Bonobo.Git.Server/SFK.git
git add "trans.cs"
git commit -m "added"
git push http://localhost/Bonobo.Git.Server/SFK.git

Everything works.

Bit When I try to pull using

git pull http://localhost/Bonobo.Git.Server/SFK.git

It gives this error

fatal:
Couldn't find remote ref HE
Unexpected end of command stream

Where am I going wrong? I am new to this git and bonobo. please suggest how to rectify this.

UPDATE:

I tried this after push.

git config --global pull.default current
git config --global push.default current

It worked.

Answer 1

Those settings allow git to know what to push to or what to pull from:

push the current branch to update a branch with the same name on the receiving end. Works in both central and non-central workflows.

It should only be:

git config --global push.default current

(I am not aware of that setting for pull)

I would recommend:

• using the remote name instead of its url: origin
• using a push with makes a tracking connection between your local and upstream branch:

So:

git push -u origin master
git pull origin

After that, a simple git push will be enough: see "Why do I need to explicitly push a new branch?" for more.
