git push error "error: src refspec xxx does not match any." using git flow
git, git-flow, github
Solution
How could I push all the branched on my working copy to remote server ?
You can do at least a:
git push origin --all
'`feature`' is a command of git-flow, not the name of a branch. See gitflow cheatsheet.
'`feature`' translate into a branch namespace, defining a branch hierarchy. Pushing only those feature branches would be:
git push origin refs/heads/feature/*:refs/remotes/origin/feature/*
Or you can register the refspec in a .gitconfig.
Problem
I used to create an repo on my private git server ``` git init --bare Initialized empty Git repository in /home/poc/git_repo/local_display_multi_langs .git/ ``` Then I tried to `add remote` in my working copy on my mac. ``` git remote add origin ssh://poc@172.19.16.101/home/poc/git_repo/local_display_multi_langs.git ``` Executed the following commands ``` 514 git flow init 519 git flow feature start read_xml 524 git ci -am "first ci" ``` Then tried to push all branches to my private git server's repo and got the exceptions as following ``` [src] $ git push origin feature poc@172.19.16.101's password: error: src refspec feature does not match any. error: failed to push some refs to 'ssh://poc@172.19.16.101/home/poc/git_repo/local_display_multi_langs.git' ``` Did I miss or misuse some steps ? How to push all the branches on my working copy to remote server ? Then When I clone the project from my git server. How to get the new cloned project and original project are identical. Thanks Thanks for @VonC Now I can push all the branches on my local working copy to remote server by `git push origin --all` But When I do git clone `ssh://poc@172.19.16.101/home/poc/git_repo/local_display_multi_langs.git` under another folder. ``` [local_display_multi_langs] $ git branch -a * master remotes/origin/HEAD -> origin/master remotes/origin/develop remotes/origin/feature/read_xml remotes/origin/master ``` I saw the above branches which are strange to me. Because I expect get the same results as the original working copy like the following. Is there any way to get `clone from my remote server and restore the status as the original working copy` ``` [local_display_multi_langs] $ git br develop * feature/read_xml master ```
