GITHUB UPSTREAM SMARTGIT HOW TO
If you don’t know how to do that, follow step-by-step instructions below. It's great that smartgit already suggests the creation of the upstream remote, now it'd be even greater if there was a 'one-click' (I know. Quick fix : Remove and re-add remoteĪs all general computer-related advice said : When in doubt, restart! The quickest way you can get rid of "error: cannot lock ref" is to remove the remote so that you can add it again later. So, once you've got a fork, you have a snapshot-in-time of the original repository, but if a few months later you want to make more additions, you'd better update your fork to the latest version of its upstream repository before you start working on your additions. And it doesn't offer any way to update that fork from the web interface. Now let’s go through possible solutions to make the "error: cannot lock ref" goes away. GitHub only lets you fork a repository once. This will force deletion of the branch, even if it contains unmerged / unpushed commits.
because you've programmed yourself into a dead end and produced commits that aren't worth keeping) you can do so with the '-D' flag: git branch -D! 70ea06a46f.2e4bfdb24f master -> origin/master (unable to update local ref) If you want to delete such a branch nonetheless (e.g. ! v2.8 -> v2.8 (unable to update local ref)Įrror: cannot lock ref 'refs/tags/v2.9': 'refs/tags' exists cannot create 'refs/tags/v2.9' Unable to create branch path /myproject/info/Įrror: cannot lock ref 'refs/tags/v2.8': 'refs/tags' exists cannot create 'refs/tags/v2.8'
Still, maintaining Open Source repositories takes considerable time and thought. If you are not the code contributing type that is ok. We are always happy for code contributions. C:\MyWorkStuff\Projects\Ruby\MyProject\>git push origin master Tip: use smartssh to setup your SSH environment.
