warning: remote HEAD refers to nonexistent ref, unable to checkout

Question

This seems like a popular error for different causes.

I\'ve got a simple bare git repo called \"kiflea.git\", I clone it like this:

git clone git://k         


        

Answer 1

Even though this error was displayed - my project was still connected to the corresponding repository - I ran the git branch command and saw the appropriate branches - then I ran git checkout *branchname and BOOM - all was well.
