I am deploying my node.js app.
I am using git hooks and creating a remote repository.
In the image below you can see that i have added the remote 'adiproduction' to which i will push from my local repo.
Below i am pasting the image of content in post-receive file of hooks.
Following is the error when i try to push my code on 'adiproduction' remote.
ubuntu#35.154.65.179: Permission denied (publickey).
fatal: Could not read from remote repository.
Please make sure you have the correct access rights
and the repository exists.
Edit:
I tried running the ssh -Tv ubuntu#35.154.65.179 command. And i got the following output.
try to run the code with "sudo"
sudo helps you to run the command with root privilege
and secondly, if you dont want use sudo so please set the ssh key on your git account, this link will helps you to set the ssh key-
'https://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/how-to-set-up-ssh-keys-on-linux-unix/'
and lastly if above solution not helps then please delete the current repository and try to clone again useing following command with ssh clone link-
git clone -b
thank you
I am to work on a project and I have initialized a git repo on a server. Let's suppose the URL of the server is
foo.bar
and the repo is at
/var/www/vhosts/foo.bar/httpdocs
I have created a git repo by running
git init
and then I created a .gitignore file, added whatever needed to be added, committed and from my local computer, which has ssh access to the server I have attempted to clone the repo, but I do not seem to find the correct URL or something is not set for the repo. I tried something like:
git clone https://foo.bar/httpdocs/.git
The error was
fatal: repository 'https://foo.bar/httpdocs/.git' not found
I have tried with various pathes.
FYI: I have worked with git a lot in the past, but I have never set up a repository on a server, I have always received the path of repos created by someone else. Now I have created the repo, but I cannot seem to find out what the correct URL is. I have searched a lot to find this out, but unfortunately I did not find anything which would help me. Any ideas?
If you're trying to communicate via SSH, you need the SSH link, not the HTTP(S) link:
git clone <user>#foo.bar:/var/www/vhost/foo.bar/httpdocs/.git
You need git and sshd (or openssh-server) installed on the remote server, and add your SSH key to the server, under the correct user (with ssh-copy-id, of course).
This is pramar error.
The error is in line:
cit clone https://foo.bar/httpdocs/.git
you can try:
git clone https://foo.bar/httpdocs/.git
good luck.
I have cloned a GitHub repository into a new directory on my local machine using:
git clone git#github.com:*****/project.git destination-dir
Clone worked fine but whenever I try to pull or push I git this error back:
error: insufficient permission for adding an object to repository database .git/objects
fatal: git write-tree failed to write a tree
What have I done wrong? And how can I fix this. From what I read so far online, the problem is trivial if you are using your own repository (i.e. not GitHub) but what should I do if this on GitHub (there is no ssh access).
Also, I should add that I have another directory on my machine pointing to same repository on GitHub which is fine for pulls and push.
This doesn't look like related to GitHub per-se.
From what you say in the comments, it seems that the write permissions inside the hidden .git folder (which contains all of your local git repository data) were not corresponding to the permissions that your git client had when you ran it.
It can be that you cloned the repository with one user account (or using sudo), but where trying to pull/push from a different user. If that wasn't the case, something could have messed your local files permissions while cloning.
As you stated, doing chown -R login:group projectDir/ fixed the problem because it recursively reset all permissions in your project folder (including those of the .git folder and its contents).
A good experiment would be trying to clone the same repo to a different folder to see if the problem reoccurs. If it does, maybe something is wrong with your default permission usermask and/or your git client permissions.
So I have been plagued with this weird git problem that myself and a few other developers have not been able to solve. Here it is:
I created a bare repo for managing website changes using git on test server.
For this example the repo is here: /home/website/website.git
The website public root would be here: /home/website
I created the repo by doing this command: git init --bare
inside the git repo directory "website.git"
Next I have my local repo on a machine elsewhere. This is a standard git repo. I build the site get it ready to deploy. When its ready I push it to the bare repo. From my local repo.
There is a post-receive hook that checks the latest file tree out into the public root of the website. So when I change things on the local repo and test them in the localhost environment, once satisfied I can push them to the live server.
Here is the problem I face:
I can push fine. No issues. All works as expected. Code gets checked out to public root. Everybody is happy and goes on with their life.
BUT!!!:
The site is a CMS site. Users log in to it and upload things. Files get created on the public root of the website which is the GIT_WORK_TREE.
So NBD right?! I can just commit the files every now and then from the live bare repo and pull them back to my local environment like I have before. So I log into SSH on the server. Navigate to /home/website/website.git
Then run this command:
GIT_WORK_TREE=/home/website/ git add ../
I get this mess:
error: unable to create temporary sha1 filename ./objects/cb: No such file or directory
error: error_log: failed to insert into database
error: unable to index file error_log
fatal: adding files failed
I have done this before on other servers and it worked fine from what I remember. So I was like WTF, must be something strange on this server. I went to another server I have and replicated the EXACT same steps. Got the EXACT same problem. So now I fear I am loosing my sanity and maybe these previous git experiences are all made up in my head.... *Well, lets not go that far yet.... :)
Maybe somebody can help me out here. I have used git plenty and can't seem to crack this one.
Oh, some other maybe useful specs:
running CENTOS 6.2
I double checked all permissions. I even tried changing everything to 777 recursively just to make sure Im not loosing it somehow. Made sure all the files are owned by the correct user. chowned recursively. I also tried the standard solution to this problem which is described here: https://answers.atlassian.com/questions/132671/git-commit-fails-with-sourcetree-error-unable-to-create-temporary-sha1-filename-git-objects-d8-file-exists
That didnt work either. Not sure where to go from here.
PLEASE HELP ME!!!!
I feel like Linus is playing cruel tricks on me right now.
You have a bare git repository in /home/website/website.git which is inside of a git repository in /home/website? And then you try to trick the bare git repository into having a working tree using GIT_WORK_TREE?
Maybe it is worth understanding this setup but only if you intend to be a git developer. As you are a user focused on delivering website functionality, I suggest using a standard git setup.
Move the bare git repository elsewhere:
$ mkdir /home/repo
$ mv /home/website/website.git /home/repo/website.git
$ cd /home/website
$ git remote set-url origin /home/repo/website.git
I got the solution. This is it. I was running the above command from the git repo.
Turns out the command should be run from the work tree and altered to look like this:
GIT_WORK_TREE=/home/website/ git --git-dir="./website.git/" add ./
I'm just entering into the wonderful world of git.
I have to submit a bunch of changes that I've made on my program, located in a directory called /var/www/myapp.
I created a new directory /home/mylogin/gitclone. From this directory, I did a git clone against the public repo and I was able to get the latest copy created.
I'm now trying to figure out how to take all the files in my working folder (/var/www/myapp) and "check them in" to the master repository.
From /home/mylogin/gitclone, I tried git add /var/www/myapp but I'm getting an error that the folder I tried to add is outside the repository.
Can you give me a few pointers on what I'm doing wrong? Also, I'd like to add everything, whether it's different from the master or not.
Thanks.
First in the clone folder you can create a Branch (so the master stay untouched)
git branch [branch_name]
After, just copy the files you want from your old folder to the clone folder.
When you are done, just add / commit your change and Merge your branch into the "master" branch. It will look like to something like this:
git add .
git commit -m "Comments"
git checkout master
git merge [new_branch]
Try this tutorial from GitHub.
You'll have to move all the files from /var/www/myapp to /home/mylogin/gitclone and then do a git add . and then git commit -m "Your message".
When upgraded to git version 2.12.2 that error appeared, I nooted the i add the file with a full path like:
git add c:\develop\project\file.text
when removed the full path it start working, like:
git add file.text
To add some files or folder to your repository, they have to be in the folder you created with git clone. So copy/paste your application in your local git folder and then go in it and do git add * and then you'll be able to commit to the server with git commit -m 'message' and finally push the changes to the server with git push
Okay, this error came up for me because I moved the project from one computer to another.
So the git was not able to figure my global git user.name and user.email
I opened the command prompt and specified my old git user.name and user.email from previous computer. Kindly run the following commands and it should be fixed.
cd pathToMyProjectDirectory
git config user.name "myName"
git config user.email "myEmail"
That's because you are versioning stuff inside /home/mylogin/gitclone and git tracks everything inside that folder. You cannot track other folders outside of this repository.
A solution might be create a submodule, or using a symbolic link using ln -s
Git only tracks files and folders within the root folder which includes the .git directory and the subfolders inside root folder. The folder you are trying to add is outside the scope of git.
What would you actually like to do is first git checkout -b myapp which will create and checkout a new branch based on the master branch of the repository you cloned. Then you would actually copy all your files over and commit them with git commit -a -m "Short descriptive name about what you did". The parameter -a you passed to git commit is for including all the changes done to the repository and -m is to include the commit message in the actual command. After that you can either push back to the main repository if you have write access to it or push it to your own public repo or don't push it at all.
What I've described above is pretty much the basics of git. Try reading this book which is pretty descriptive.
Maybe someone comes along having the same trouble like I had:
In my case this error was thrown while using husky (commit hooks) https://github.com/typicode/husky
It was just an error because of encodings. My source was located in a directory that contains a special character ("รถ")
Seems like husky uses "git add" with the absolute path of the source which fails somehow at this point
I renamed the path and it worked fine.
This message can also appear when the file name is listed in the .gitignore file.
My scenario is that the git repository's path has symbolic link and git throw out this error when add file say to "/home/abc/GIT_REPO/my_dir/my_file".
and "/home" is actually a softlink to "/devhome".
code ninja gave me some light when I tried to debug this case.
So I tried get the target directory by using the command readlink -f /home/abc/GIT_REPO before run add command.
And then everything works like a charm !
I encountered the issue at Windows box with maven-release-plugin.
The plugin tries to add files using absolute path and I have noticed that the path in the Git add command starts with uppercase D: while the path in Working directory: log line started with lowercase d:
I have added core.ignorecase = true to the Git settings and the issue was gone.
