Read the warning carefully. The new default prohibition is only on pushing to the currently checked out branch in a non-bare repository. It is perfectly OK to push to any other branch in a non-bare repository. The reason for this is that the push process has no direct access to the working tree so the … Read more
The packsize limit does not affect git protocol commands (your push). From git-config under pack.packSizeLimit: The maximum size of a pack. This setting only affects packing to a file when repacking, i.e. the git:// protocol is unaffected. When executing a push git will always create exactly one pack no matter the size! To fix this … Read more
You are getting this error because “origin” is not available. “origin” is a convention not part of the command. “origin” is the local name of the remote repository. For example you could also write: git remote add myorigin [email protected]:myname/oldrep.git git remote add testtest [email protected]:myname/oldrep.git See the manual: http://www.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/docs/git-remote.html To remove a remote repository you enter: … Read more

I went to push and got the ERROR: Repository not found. error message. The person who added me to the … Read more
Basically git commit “records changes to the repository” while git push “updates remote refs along with associated objects“. So the first one is used in connection with your local repository, while the latter one is used to interact with a remote repository. Here is a nice picture from Oliver Steele, that explains the git model … Read more
It’s explained in great detail in the docs, but I’ll try to summarize: matching means git push will push all your local branches to the ones with the same name on the remote. This makes it easy to accidentally push a branch you didn’t intend to. simple means git push will push only the current … Read more
