Is there anyone who uses GitHub with MD for MonoTouch?
I set-up everything as this instruction says: http://help.github.com/mac-set-up-git/
Created a repo, committed some stuff into it…
And then in MD I’m trying to check out stuff and then it asks me for the passphrase, I’m typing and it says it’s not matching. I tried to start all over again and set Git with a different password (and everytime updated the public key as well) and did that for three or four times and everytime it’s the same – I cannot check-in nor checkout anything…
What could be wrong here?
UPD: Even if I try to use github’s GUI utility for Mac, create a local repo, push it to the GitHub, and then if I open the solution in MonoDevelop, it fails and throws a bunch of different exceptions, and suddenly closes itself.
It says: Error while updating status of command: MonoDevelop.VersionControl.Commands.UpdateSolution.
System.IO.IOException: Unknown repository format “”; expected “0”.
I can’t just make it work with Source control. It doesn’t let me do it neither internally nor using any third-party tool, I know it’s still in beta but is it really impossible? Somebody help me, pls
UPD: Now I finally somehow managed to ‘see’ my remote Github repo, but still cannot push stuff into it. Authorization fails in MD. Tried to use .netrc file didn’t help. Tried to use ssh and https connection strings – no success… Damn that stupid thing, and damn stupid me
This is a combination of two known bugs:
I believe the second one is fixed in MD 2.8 beta 3. It also has a known workaround. Basically, the GitHub Mac app creates local git repositories that are slightly unusual, and this breaks some of MD’s assumptions. You can work around this by re-cloning your repository from github using some other tool such as commandline git or MonoDevelop itself. After that, you can use the GitHub mac app on the repository just fine; it’s only its cloning/creating that’s iffy.
