I have two boxes, one is my local machine and the other is my dev server. Right now I'm testing this method of deploying apps using Git: http://blog.wekeroad.com/2009/11/23/deploying-a-web-application-with-git-and-ftp I setup my local repository, added the files then committed. I am on Windows 7 & my server is Windows Server 2008. The server is mapped as the W:\ Drive with my 'bare' repository and my target 'mock' production folder as child folders. -- I can get to each just fine, no connection problems. Here's what I did to setup everything: Local dir git remote add origin w:\gitCentral Local dir git push origin master Type C:, then type CD testDeployment Now I'm in my test folder. A. I do git clone w:/gitCentral Cloning into gitCentral... done. error: refs/remotes/origin/master does not point to a valid object! error: Trying to write ref refs/heads/master with nonexistant object 559e2165845 06e14ebef1121059e9461a86dd4f8 fatal: Cannot update the ref 'HEAD'. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
