OpenGD77

Hi!
I can't pull the changes into my local repo because of this error:
Fatal: Counldn't find remote ref refs/heads/split_dmr_filters.
I tried to find a solution, especially this looks very similar to my problem:
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/216 ... te-ref-xxx
There is a relatively comprehensive explanation, but their solution doesn't work for me.
(I extrapolated from their example to my paths):
patrol@deb:~/git/OpenGD77$ git branch -a
bugfix-chanmode-switch
* development
master
remotes/origin/development
remotes/origin/master
remotes/origin/split_dmr_filters
patrol@deb:~/git/OpenGD77$ git remote update --prune origin
Fetching origin
fatal: Couldn't find remote ref refs/heads/split_dmr_filters
error: Could not fetch origin
So, I'm still doing something wrong, because I'm getting recursively the same error when trying to fix it .
Please give a helping hand ...
WIth regards,
Pavel

Hi,

Can you give the "git remote -v" output ?


Cheers.

I deleted the old stale branches a few days ago,

e.g. split_dmr_filters that branch was merged into development a few months ago

patrol@deb:~/git/OpenGD77$ git remote -v
origin https://github.com/rogerclarkmelbourne/OpenGD77 (fetch)
origin https://github.com/rogerclarkmelbourne/OpenGD77 (push)

Hi,

just reset you local copy (as you are on the development branch):
Take care, you will loose any change you made in the branch.

If you didn't make many changes, just rename the folder and then clone again from github

You can then manually copy you files across.

But if you were using the split_dmr_filters branch as your base, its likely that things would have changed significantly and you will need to manually merge in whatever changes you made

Hi,

just reset you local copy (as you are on the development branch):

Code: Select all

git reset --hard origin/development

Take care, you will loose any change you made in the branch.

Unfortunately, doesn't work . In principle, I can rm my local repo and clone a new one, I made diff of all my local patches so I can reenter them, but it's interesting for me, I would like to learn git more deeply and it seems to be a good school here .

Regards, Pavel

Did you tried to delete the branch

git branch -d split_dmr_filters

and/or delete all local branches that has ben removed from the remote

git remote prune origin --dry-run

git branch -d split_dmr_filters

Yes I did. One of my first intuitive tries. Doesn't work, tells that the branch cannot be found (it's not visible in git branch, git branch -a is neccessary and it's written i violet - I don't know what this color means.

and/or delete all local branches that has ben removed from the remote

git remote prune origin --dry-run

No, I didn't, so I did it now. It looked very promising, but... It seems cursed ...

WIth regards / 73, Pavel

Anything special in the .git/config (in the OpenGD77 tree) ?
