    git-help me please?

    clebert.suconic

      It's urgent please!

       

      Seriously .. I know I need to RTFM.. but one thing I couldn't figure out:

       

       

      Why this crashed my repository:

       

      I (unadvertedly) typed:

       

      git pull --rebase upstream

       

      (without any branch)

       

       

      And that duplicated all my branches, and I couldn't checkout any branches after this.. I had to re-download my copy after this.

       

      Any idea what I did wrong, why it broke my clone and how I would fix it?

          what "git branch" is saying?

          what do you mean you could not checkout any branch? You mean "git checkout <branch>"? (I'm asking because a git checkout is nothing like a svn checkout)

          what's the error?

            If I do this:

             

            git pull --rebase upstream

             

            (no branch)

             

             

            git will do this:

            You asked to pull from the remote 'upstream', but did not specify

            a branch. Because this is not the default configured remote

            for your current branch, you must specify a branch on the command line.

             

             

             

            After this my copy became a bit weird.

              As git tells you in the end of its output:

              You asked to pull from the remote 'upstream', but did not specify

              a branch. Because this is not the default configured remote

              for your current branch, you must specify a branch on the command line.

               

              Given that you do not want upstream as your default remote (since then you would be pushing into it). It seems obvious that you should be just specifying the branch:

               

              git pull --rebase upstream master

                Why is it duplicating the branches... it shouldn't damage my clone. That's the weird part.

                  this is really weird..

                   

                   

                  all I wanted was to get a list of new branches from upstream, so I just did a simple git fetch and it again caused the duplicates:

                   

                  git fetch upstream

                      Not sure what's going on. I usually do

                       

                      git branch -r

                       

                      to list the remote branches, and after that I checkout the branch I need, like:

                       

                      git checkout -b eap22 origin/Branch_2_2_EAP

                        Clebert,

                         

                        they arent duplicate branches when you upstream/master for instance is headless and there just to track changes wher as master is your local branch of it. So when you fetch it fetches too upstream/.... and when you pull it pulls the commits from upstream/.. into your local branch.
