Git error: src refspec master does not match any
I need to create a repo named carboncake.
I tried this:
Cloned the gitosis-admin repository to my local machine
$ git clone [email protected]:repositories/gitosis-admin.git
$ cd gitosis-admin
$ vim gitosis.conf
Added the [repo carboncake] and [group carboncake] section to the end of the file
[gitosis]
[group team]
writable = sweepshots
members = git_id_rsa
[group gitosis-admin]
writable = gitosis-admin
members = git_id_rsa
[repo carboncake]
description = A brand new app by Mithun.
owner = Mithun P
[group carboncake]
writable = myappname
members = mithun @core
Then copied the pub key file generated by Putty (I'm using Git basg for Windows):
$cp /some/where/mithun.pub keydir/mithun.pub
Executed the following commands:
$ git add gitosis.conf keydir/mithun.pub
$ git commit -m "Added 'carboncake' repository and 'mithun' user."
$ git pull --rebase
$ git push
But it doesn't create any carboncake.git in My Server.
So I followed this:
Executed the following commands on the server:
$ su gitosis
$ git init --bare /srv/gitosis/repositories/carboncake.git
Here's my problem:
I tried to checkout/clone the new repository from my local machine
$ mkdir carboncake
$ cd carboncake
$ git init
$ touch a_text_file.txt
$ git add a_text_file.txt
$ git remote add origin [email protected]:repositories/carboncake.git
$ git push origin master
Which returned the error:
error: src refspec master does not match any.
fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly
error: failed to push some refs to '[email protected]:repositories/carboncake.git'
When I tried git push origin HEAD:master it returned the error:
error: src refspec HEAD does not match any.
fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly
error: failed to push some refs to '[email protected]:repositories/carboncake.git'
When I tried git push origin master:refs/heads/master it returned the error:
error: src refspec master does not match any.
fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly
error: failed to push some refs to '[email protected]:repositories/carboncake.git'
git show-ref on the local machine does not display anything
Also /srv/gitosis/repositories/carboncake.git/refs/heads/ directory on the server is empty.
How can I fix this?
Answer
You've created a new repository and added some files to the index, but you haven't created your first commit yet. After you've done:
git add a_text_file.txt
... do:
git commit -m "Initial commit."
... and those errors should go away.
