What does this mean? Cannot get remote repository information. Perhaps git-update-server-info needs to be run there?
git clone http://projects.iplantcollaborative.org/public/FoundationalAPI/SampleCode
Initialized empty Git repository in /homes/user/SampleCode/.git/
Cannot get remote repository information.
Perhaps git-update-server-info needs to be run there?
In order to serve up a repository for pulling, various metadata files need to exist that do not exist in a standard on-disk git repository. This error message is indicating that in order to populate these files, you need to run
git update-server-infoon the server which is hosting the repository.This assumes that this is your server, and that the repository exists. In the example you post above, there’s not actually a git repository there at all. (In fact, there’s nothing there at all.)
