“did you run git update-server-info” error on a Github repository

Question

I\'m using the github Gui from their website to manage my repos, and I\'m getting the following error:

fatal: https://github.com/TeaCodie/TeaCodie-Website.gi         


        

Answer 1

I encountered this message when using Jenkins 2.176.1 and git plugin 3.10.0 using a very old command line git version (1.7.1) as included on CentOS 6.

The message does not occur on newer versions of command line git (1.8 or later) with the Jenkins git plugin.

Upgrading to a newer command line git version resolves the problem.

Officially, the Jenkins git plugin does not support command line git 1.7.1. The minimum supported version is command line git 1.7.10. Many Jenkins git plugin use cases require at least command line git 1.9.0.

Command line git 1.7.1 behaves differently than later versions when a repository has been initialized (with git init) and then a git fetch is performed with a refspec which references 'origin'. Later versions of command line git do not have the same problem.

Answer 2

Did you create a new repository on the http://github.com with the same name?

If not, do it! And make sure each letter is correct and case sensitive.
