podfile gives an error on install

Question

I cloned a repo from git. Then removed the .git and .gitignore. The podFile looks like

platform :ios, \'6.1\'

pod \'AFNetworking\', \'~>1.3.3\'
pod \'AFO

A bug was found in libgit2 and they had to execute a force push on the specs repo. This is what broke everyone's CocoaPods setup.

You can find the official post about this issue on the CocoaPods blog : http://blog.cocoapods.org/Repairing-Our-Broken-Specs-Repository/

The recommended way to fix your setup is to execute the following commands :

$ pod repo remove master
$ pod setup

If that doesn't work, you can also delete manually all your cached specs :

$ rm -rf ~/.cocoapods/
$ pod setup
