Need some remedial git help

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 :


  1. git clone --bare https://git.fedorahosted.org/cgit/docs/virtualization-getting-started-guide.git/ virtualization-getting-started-guide.git

  2. cd virtualization-getting-started-guide.git

  3. git branch smccann_virtmanager

  4. 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…


  1. git clone  https://git.fedorahosted.org/cgit/docs/virtualization-getting-started-guide.git/ virtualization-getting-started-guide.git

  2. cd virtualization-getting-started-guide.git

  3. git branch smccann_virtmanager

  4. git checkout smccann_virtmanager


this looks better…

  1. touch git-daemon-export-ok (so it’s visible on cgit)


 scp it up to fedorapeople:

  1. scp -r virtualization-getting-started-guide.git/ mccann2@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx:public_git/virtualization-getting-started-guide.git


So far so good. Let’s make a minor edit, add and commit…

  1. (edit Book_Info.xml and build to ensure it works)

  2. git add en-US/Book_Info.xml

  3. git commit -m ‘first commit. Fix Book_Info.xml so it will build’


Now try to push that to fedorapeople:

  1. git remote add fedorapeople mccann2@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx:public_git/virtualization-getting-started-guide.git

  2. git push --mirror fedorapeople

This gets me the following batch of errors:


git push --mirror fedorapeople

! [remote rejected] smccann_virtmanager -> smccann_virtmanager (branch is currently checked out)

error: failed to push some refs to 'mccann2@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx:public_git/virtualization-getting-started-guide.git'


So now I’m lost in some weird catch-22 where --bare is needed for one set of commands, but won’t work for the other.  I’m guessing I’m missing something obvious here… Any clues what that is?

Thanks,
Sandra
