I want to delete a branch both locally and remotely.
### Failed Attempts to Delete a Remote Branch

```bash
$ git branch -d remotes/origin/bugfix
error: branch &#39;remotes/origin/bugfix&#39; not found.

$ git branch -d origin/bugfix
error: branch &#39;origin/bugfix&#39; not found.

$ git branch -rd origin/bugfix
Deleted remote branch origin/bugfix (was 2a14ef7).

$ git push
Everything up-to-date

$ git pull
From github.com:gituser/gitproject

* [new branch] bugfix -&gt; origin/bugfix
Already up-to-date.
```

What should I do differently to successfully delete the `remotes/origin/bugfix` branch both locally and remotely?


How do I delete a Git branch locally and remotely?

I have a repo (origin) on a USB key that I cloned on my hard drive (local). I moved &quot;origin&quot; to a NAS and successfully tested cloning it from here.

I would like to know if I can change the URI of &quot;origin&quot; in the settings of &quot;local&quot; so it will now pull from the NAS, and not from the USB key.

For now, I can see two solutions:

- push everything to the usb-orign, and copy it to the NAS again (implies a lot of work due to new commits to nas-origin);

- add a new remote to &quot;local&quot; and delete the old one (I fear I&#39;ll break my history).


How to change the URI (URL) for a remote Git repository?

I want to be able to do the following:

 1. Create a local branch based on some other (remote or local) branch (via `git branch` or `git checkout -b`)

 2. Push the local branch
    to the remote repository (publish), but make it
    trackable so `git pull` and `git push` will work immediately.

How do I do that?

I know about `--set-upstream` in Git 1.7, but that is a post-creation action. I want to find a way to make a similar change when pushing the branch to the remote repository.


How do I push a new local branch to a remote Git repository and track it too?

Find out which remote branch a local branch is tracking

I have my project on GitHub at some location, `git@github.com:myname/oldrep.git`.

Now I want to push all my code to a new repository at some other location, `git@github.com:newname/newrep.git`.

I used the command:

What does &#39;--set-upstream&#39; do?

I&#39;ve got a project hosted on GitHub which somebody has forked. On their fork, they&#39;ve created a new branch &quot;foo&quot; and made some changes.  How do I pull their &quot;foo&quot; into a new branch also named &quot;foo&quot; in my repo?

I understand they could submit a pull request to me, but I&#39;d like to initiate this process myself.

Assume the following:

 1. Because they forked my project, both our repos share the same &#39;history&#39;
 2. Although GitHub shows their project was forked from mine, my local repository doesn&#39;t have any references to this person&#39;s project. Do I need to add theirs as a remote?
 3. I don&#39;t have a branch called &quot;foo&quot; yet - I don&#39;t know if I need to manually create this first.
 4. I definitely want this pulled into a separate branch and not my master.


How to pull remote branch from somebody else&#39;s repo

I have been using git for a while now, but I have never had to set up a new remote repo myself and I have been curious on doing so. I have been reading tutorials and I am confused on how to get &quot;git push&quot; to work. 

If I simply use `git push` it asks me to see up a default branch(?) to point to? What is the difference between these two options it supplies me with?

    git config --global push.default matching
    git config --global push.default simple

Matching just pushes whatever branches I have on my local repo, and if they don&#39;t match I have to then manually tell it to push whatever new local branches I have, correct? Is this best practice to use or is simple best?

I&#39;m trying to make a local repo act as a remote with the name `bak` for another local repo on my PC, using the following:

    git remote add /home/sas/dev/apps/smx/repo/bak/ontologybackend/.git bak

which gives this error:

    fatal: &#39;/home/sas/dev/apps/smx/repo/bak/ontologybackend/.git&#39; is not a valid remote name

I&#39;m trying to sync two local repos, with one configured as a remote named `bak` for the other, and then issuing `git pull bak`.

What is the best way to do it?

---  
**Edit:**  

Sorry, silly me, I&#39;ve just realized the remote add should be:

    git remote add bak /home/sas/dev/apps/smx/repo/bak/ontologybackend/.git

the name of the remote goes _before_ the address.

How to add a local repo and treat it as a remote repo

I want to change the Git default remote branch destination so I could just
   
    git push

Instead of:

    git push upstream

Currently this is set to the origin remote and I want to set it to a different remote.

I tried to remove the original (cloned from) remote

    git remote rm origin

Which did remove the original remote. But doesn&#39;t solve the `git push` problem. I still get:

&gt; fatal: No configured push destination. Either specify the URL from the  
&gt; command-line or configure a remote repository using...

I also tried to play with:
 
    git remote set-url --push myfork origin

and other options but none seem to work (maybe because I deleted the origin remote too soon?)

Following the [answer here](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/820178/git-push-only-to-a-remote-branch) I tried to change:

    git config push.default upstream (or matching)

but neither worked.

How to handle git gc fatal: bad object refs/remotes/origin/HEAD error?

I&#39;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/][1]

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&#39;ve noticed the following message when I run &quot;git status&quot; on my laptop:

    # On branch master
    # Your branch is ahead of &#39;origin/master&#39; by 11 commits.
    #
    nothing to commit (working directory clean)

And I&#39;m confused as to why.  I thought my laptop was the origin... but don&#39;t know if either the fact that I originally pulled from Subversion or push to Unfuddle is what&#39;s causing the message to show up.  How can I:

 1. Find out where Git thinks &#39;origin/master&#39; is?
 1. If it&#39;s somewhere else, how do I turn my laptop into the &#39;origin/master&#39;?
 1. 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: &#39;/Users/brian/Projects/GeekFor/gf/.git&#39;: 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	git@spilth.unfuddle.com:spilth/geekfor.git

Now, interestingly, I&#39;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&#39;s advice and do:

    git remote rm origin
    git remote add origin git@spilth.unfuddle.com:spilth/geekfor.git

How can I find the location of origin/master in git, and how do I change it?

I&#39;ve been wondering if there&#39;s an easy way to push and pull a local branch with a remote branch with a different name without always specifying both names.

For example:

    $ git clone myrepo.git
    $ git checkout -b newb
    $ ...
    $ git commit -m &quot;Some change&quot;
    $ git push origin newb:remote_branch_name

Now if someone updates remote_branch_name, I can:

    $ git pull

And everything is merged / fast-forwarded. However, if I make changes in my local &quot;newb&quot;, I can&#39;t:

    $ git push

Instead, I have to:

    % git push origin newb:remote_branch_name

Seems a little silly. If `git-pull` uses `git-config branch.newb.merge` to determine where to pull from, why couldn&#39;t `git-push` have a similar config option? Is there a nice shortcut for this or should I just continue the long way?

How can I push a local Git branch to a remote with a different name easily?

I think I&#39;m on the right track to understand the basic concepts of git.

I&#39;ve already set up and cloned a remote repository. I also created a server side empty repository, and linked my local repository to it.


My problem is that I don&#39;t understand the difference between:

- origin/master vs. remotes/origin/master

As far as I have understood, **master** is a local branch, and **remotes/origin/master** is a remote one. 

But what exactly is **origin/master**?

I just started using Git and I got really confused between different branches. Can anyone help me to figure out what the following branch types are?

* local branches
* local tracking branches
* remote branches

A quick demo code will be really helpful I guess.

I am very new to Git; I only recently created a GitHub account.

I&#39;ve just tried to push my very first repository (a sample project), but I&#39;m getting the following error:

    No such remote &#39;origin&#39;

I ran the following commands:

    git init
    git commit -m &quot;first commit&quot;
    git remote add origin https://github.com/VijayNew/NewExample.git
    git push -u origin master

However, when I ran git commit -m &quot;first commit&quot;, I got the following message:

    nothing added to commit but untracked files present (use &quot;git add&quot; to track)

So then I tried to set `origin`, using

    git remote set-url origin https://github.com/VijayNew/NewExample.git

But I got the following error:

    No such remote &#39;origin&#39;

What did I do wrong, and what should I do?

Why does Git tell me &quot;No such remote &#39;origin&#39;&quot; when I try to push to origin?

I&#39;d like to keep everything updated: commits, refs, hooks, branches, etc.

Thanks!

Why am I merging &quot;remote-tracking branch &#39;origin/develop&#39; into develop&quot;?

I have the following remotes set up:

    $ git remote 
    korg
    rorg

And the following branches:

    $ git branch -a
    * (no branch)
      remotes/korg/gingerbread
      remotes/korg/gingerbread-release
      remotes/korg/honeycomb

      remotes/m/gingerbread -&gt; korg/gingerbread

Now **I wish to push all the remote branches from `korg` to the `rorg` remote. How do I do that?**

Preferably without making a local branch for each first, if that is avoidable.

Git push branch from one remote to another?

How do I set a Git remote&#39;s HEAD reference to point to something besides &quot;master&quot;?

My project has a policy not to use a &quot;master&quot; branch (all branches are to have meaningful names). Furthermore, the canonical master repository is only accessible via ssh://, with no shell access (like GitHub or Unfuddle).

My problem is that the remote repository still has a HEAD reference to refs/heads/master, but I need it to point to a different branch.  This is causing two problems:

 1. When cloning the repo, there this, 

 &gt; warning: remote HEAD refers to nonexistent ref, unable to checkout.

  That&#39;s confusing and inconvenient.

 1. The web-based code browser depends on HEAD as a basis for browsing the tree. I need HEAD to point to a valid branch, then.

Change a Git remote HEAD to point to something besides master

Problem: I want a way of deleting all the local branches I have that do not have a remote. It&#39;s easy enough to pipe the names of the branches into a `git branch -D {branch_name}`, but how do I get that list in the first place?

For example:

I create a new branch without a remote:

    $ git co -b no_upstream

I list all my branches, and there&#39;s only one with a remote

    $ git branch -a
    master
    * no_upstream
    remotes/origin/HEAD -&gt; origin/master
    remotes/origin/master

What command can I run to get `no_upstream` as an answer?

I can run `git rev-parse --abbrev-ref --symbolic-full-name @{u}` and that will show that it has no remote:

    $ git rev-parse --abbrev-ref --symbolic-full-name @{u}
    error: No upstream configured for branch &#39;no_upstream&#39;
    error: No upstream configured for branch &#39;no_upstream&#39;
    fatal: ambiguous argument &#39;@{u}&#39;: unknown revision or path not in the working tree.
    Use &#39;--&#39; to separate paths from revisions, like this:
    &#39;git &lt;command&gt; [&lt;revision&gt;...] -- [&lt;file&gt;...]&#39;

But as this is an error, it won&#39;t let me use it or pipe it to other commands. I&#39;m intending to use this as either a shell script alias&#39;d to `git-delete-unbranched` or maybe make a super simple Gem like `git-branch-delete-orphans`




List all local branches without a remote

I am building a (somewhat limited) Git client. To set up a repository, you enter the URL to the remote repo. I want to check whether the user has read+write access to that repository. If not, I present an authentication dialog.

I check **&#39;read&#39; access** with `git ls-remote &lt;url&gt;`.

Is there an analogous way to check **&#39;write&#39; access**,&#160;without cloning the repo first? (I know I could `git clone &lt;url&gt;` and then `git push --dry-run`)

How can I check write access to a remote Git repository (&quot;can I push?&quot;)

From the man page:


&gt;     Deletes all stale tracking branches under &lt;name&gt;.
&gt;     These stale branches have already been removed from the remote repository
&gt;     referenced by &lt;name&gt;, but are still locally available in &quot;remotes/&lt;name&gt;&quot;.

So I removed a bunch of branches using

    git push origin :staleStuff

and then ran

    git remote prune origin

However, only one single local branch was pruned. Some of these branches were created by me, some by co-workers. Does this indicate that I wasn&#39;t tracking those branches correctly in the first place?



git remote prune – didn&#39;t show as many pruned branches as I expected

In short;
---------

 - How can I delete remote multiple merged remotes?

More background;
----------------

I have a git repo with tens of remotes which have been merged into master.  I can delete these remotes one at a time by using:

    git push --delete origin myBranch-1234

However this is a slow and tedious process for all remotes.  So I&#39;m trying this command:

    git branch -r --merged | grep origin | grep -v master | xargs git push origin --delete

`git branch -r --merged` lists all merged remotes.&lt;br&gt;
`grep origin` tells the command to include origin.&lt;br&gt;
`grep -v master` tells the command to exclude master.&lt;br&gt;
`xargs git push origin --delete` tells the command to delete the list of remotes.

All together, I expect this to gather all merged remotes and delete them.

When I run the above command, I receive the following for every merged remote;

    error: unable to delete &#39;origin/myBranch-1234&#39;: remote ref does not exist
    error: unable to delete &#39;origin/myBranch-1235&#39;: remote ref does not exist
    error: unable to delete &#39;origin/myBranch-1236&#39;: remote ref does not exist
    error: unable to delete &#39;origin/myBranch-1237&#39;: remote ref does not exist
    ... etc
However these remotes do exist and I can checkout each of them.  Many sites and people recommend that I run `git fetch --prune` to clean up missing references.  This does nothing because all of these remotes exist.

So I ask you, dear stack exchange;
----------------------------------

 - Why can I delete one remote, but not many?
 - Is my command correct?

I think I&#39;m missing something small.  Every time I research this, it seems like I&#39;m doing this correctly, but I&#39;m getting the above errors.

fatal: does not appear to be a git repository

For deploying to Heroku, I use `git push heroku master`. But how do I see which revision I pushed up to heroku? (I&#39;m often in doubt if I pushed the recent version up)

For those not familiar with it, Heroku&#39;s create script generates a remote git repository that you push to. Upon push, the code is deployed magically.

Heroku adds a remote repository to the local one in the form:

    $ git remote add heroku git@heroku.com:appname.git
More info in Heroku&#39;s manual [&quot;Deploying with Git&quot;][1]

Question is: How can I see latest version in Heroku repository?

I accidentally added a folder of images and committed. Then, I made one more commit.
Then I removed those files using `git rm -f ./images` and committed again. 

Right now, I have made a lot more commits in that branch (master). In my HEAD, I don&#39;t have that `./static/images` folder.

Due to this, my repo size has increased a lot. How can I remove those blobs completely? And I want to remove it from my remote GitHub repo too.

Completely remove files from Git repo and remote on GitHub

I&#39;m very new to Git. I&#39;ve been searching for an answer, but I couldn&#39;t find one.

In my computer I have a project folder like this:

    project_a
    --some_folder
    --another_folder
    --.git

And I have a repository on GitHub, let’s say `https://github.com/company/our_repo.git`. Under this repository I have some folders. So my goal is to put my `project_a` under `trunk/bin`. How do I achieve this? (Again, I&#39;m very very very new.)



How to add my current project to an already existing GitHub repository

In git lingo, are `origin` and `remote` the same thing? Or does `origin` refer to the local directory?

In the case of `git push -u origin master`: Which of the following interpretation is correct?

1. &quot;push everything upstream to the remote repo called &#39;origin&#39; and its branch &#39;master&#39;&quot;
2. &quot;push everything from the local originating repo called &#39;origin&#39; to the upstream &#39;master&#39; branch&quot;

Appreciate any clarification!

The answers to my question clarified two issues for me: 

1. `origin` refers to the remote repo, rather than the local cloned copy of the remote repo. This is not clear when one reads that `origin`is an alias of `remote` and is created at the time of `git clone`  
2. `origin` refers to the remote repo in `git push -u origin master` because local copies of the repo are implied and &quot;rarely referenced&quot;.

What is the difference between &#39;origin&#39; and &#39;remote&#39; in git commands?

I have tried to follow the solutions suggested in [this][1] post but it didnt work and I am still getting: src refspec master does not match any. 

Here is what I did: 
Followed [this][2] solution

    // adding the file I created
    $ git add .
    $ git commit -m &#39;initial commit&#39;
    $ git push origin master
    error: src refspec master does not match any.

When doing:

    $ git push origin HEAD:master
    b40ffdf..a0d1423  HEAD -&gt; master // looks promising
    
    // adding a remote
    $ git remote add devstage -f &lt;another git&gt;
    $ git merge devstage/master -s recursive -X ours
    $ git push -u devstage master
    error: src refspec master does not match any.

More information:

    $ git branch 
    * origin
    
    $ git show-ref
    refs/heads/origin
    refs/remotes/devstage/master
    refs/remotes/origin/HEAD
    refs/remotes/origin/devstage
    refs/remotes/origin/master
    refs/remotes/origin/origin


So I am definitely missing refs/heads/master but dont know how to create it. 

Thanks

error: src refspec master does not match any

What does &quot;remote&quot; mean? When cloning a repository located at a central location, aren&#39;t we creating its remote version?

When I execute the command

    $ git remote

I get ***origin***. What does this mean?

When I execute

    $ git branch -r

I get ***origin/master***. Now what is this?





What does &quot;git remote&quot; mean?

I&#180;m having trouble with GitHub. I&#180;ve playing around with a remote repository of Git.

When I now try to make any changes to the remote directory, i.e.

    git remote show origin
or

    git push -u origin master
I get this error
&gt;Permission denied (publickey).
fatal: Could not read from remote repository.

&gt; Please make sure you have the correct access rights
and the repository exists.
Ulrichs-MacBook-Pro:coredatatest ulrichheinelt$ git push -u origin master
Permission denied (publickey).
fatal: Could not read from remote repository.

I would be happy, when I could start again with a new (empty) remote directory. Or is there a way, to fix this error?

This are my first steps with GitHub, started yesterday...
Many thanks in advance!

**Edit 1**

**my** settings at https://github.com/UlliH/CoreDataTest/settings

**Edit 2**

**too early happy** :-(

After setting the SSH and GPG keys, the errors are still the same. :-/

**Edit 3**

I think that&#39;s right so, but still the same...

GitHub: Permission denied (publickey). fatal: Could not read from remote repository

Is there any difference in pushing the master branch of a local git repository to the master branch of a remote repository called origin with `git push origin master`
or with `git push origin`?

What is the difference between git push origin and git push origin master

I created my first repository in GitHub yesterday. When making the connection I used SSH instead of HTTPS, so I went through a little painful SSH key creation and connection process. At some point I got stuck and the connection failed. I wondered at that moment how I could revert the process I started and begin with a HTTPS connection instead. Happily, today I got the connection working through SSH but I&#39;m wondering about the value of being able to change the type of connection (SSH vs HTTPS) and if there is a way to do it.

How to change a connection to GitHub from SSH to HTTPS?

We have a website that has all its PHP/HTML/JS/CSS/etc files stored in a Git repository.

We currently have 3 types of computers (or use cases) for the repository.

 - Local developer: pull latest changes, make changes, commit to local repo, push to master server
 - Master server: central repository, all changes get pushed to the master server
 - Web server: changes are pulled down from the master server when deploying the website

So currently we:

    local: git push origin master
    local: password: ********
    local: ssh admin@webserver.com
    webserver: password: ********
    webserver: cd ~/domain.com/
    webserver: git pull origin master

So my question is: is there a way that from my local computer I can push straight to the web server?

ie.

    local: git push origin master
    local: password: ********
    local: git push webserver master
    local: password: ********

Git push to live server

I had hoped this would work:

    git checkout remote/tag_name

but it doesn&#39;t. This does:

    git checkout tags/tag_name

but I&#39;m doing something weird where I have a lot of remotes, and I&#39;m worried about what happens if two remotes have the same tag. Is there a way to specify the remote when checking out the tag?

Git - Checkout a remote tag when two remotes have the same tag name

I have one remote repository with many branches. For example, my repository name is:

    http://navis.com/MyRepo.git

Its branches are:

    development
    production (master)
    testing

I would like to merge the `development` branch into the `production` (master) branch. Can anybody share a Git command for merging two remote branches?
