I got an account for a new project to a remote git server that i dont have any access. (I have zero experience with GIT) It appears that it is empty.

  1. Trying clone from netbeans i get can not open 'git-upload-pack'
  2. Trying manually with MING32 i get that i am trying to clone an empty repository (it is empty)
  3. Trying to push a hello world project i get "refusing to update checked out branch: refs/heads/master"

Is there anything i can do provided i dont have any other access ? I tried many things but nothing helped. Most articles required access at remote repo

  • You should probably drop by the #git channel on freenode. Those guys are really helpful. Commented Mar 14, 2012 at 3:05
  • I agree with @Alexander. It sounds like you have a few separate issues. Commented Mar 14, 2012 at 3:08

(2) is caused by the repo being empty. The message stating so is not an error, it's just a notification (cloning an empty repository is perfectly legit).

(3) is caused because the remote repository is not a "bare" repository - that is, it has a working copy, and that working copy has master checked out. It sounds like whoever set up your remote repository probably should have created it as a bare repo - you might ask them to re-create it as such.
