I'm a
Git newbie. I recently moved a Rails project from Subversion to
Git. I followed the tutorial here: http://www.simplisticcomplexity.com/2008/03/05/cleanly-migrate-your-subversion-repository-to-a-git-repository/
I am also using unfuddle.com to store my code. I make changes on my Mac laptop on the train to/from work and then push them to unfuddle when I have a network connection using the following command:
git push unfuddle master
I use Capistrano for deployments and pull code from the unfuddle
repository using the master branch.
Lately I've noticed the following message when I run "
git status" on my laptop:
# On branch master
# Your branch is ahead of 'origin/master' by 11 commits.
#
nothing to commit (working directory clean)
And I'm confused as to why. I thought my laptop was the origin... but don't know if either the fact that I originally pulled from Subversion or push to Unfuddle is what's causing the message to show up. How can I:
Find out where
Git thinks 'origin/master' is?
If it's somewhere else, how do I turn my laptop into the 'origin/master'?
Get this message to go away. It makes me think
Git is unhappy about something.
My mac is running
Git version 1.6.0.1.
When I run
git remote show origin as suggested by dbr, I get the following:
~/Projects/GeekFor/geekfor 10:47 AM $
git remote show origin
fatal: '/Users/brian/Projects/GeekFor/gf/.
git': unable to chdir or not a
git archive
fatal: The
remote end hung up unexpectedly
When I run
git remote -v as suggested by Aristotle Pagaltzis, I get the following:
~/Projects/GeekFor/geekfor 10:33 AM $
git remote -v
origin /Users/brian/Projects/GeekFor/gf/.
git
unfuddle
[email protected]:spilth/geekfor.
git
Now, interestingly, I'm working on my project in the geekfor directory but it says my origin is my local machine in the gf directory. I believe gf was the temporary directory I used when converting my project from Subversion to
Git and probably where I pushed to unfuddle from. Then I believe I checked out a fresh copy from unfuddle to the geekfor directory.
So it looks like I should follow dbr's advice and do:
git remote rm origin
git remote add origin
[email protected]:spilth/geekfor.git
