I have a git repository I use for all related work.
I cloned it for two reasons:
A backup.
Allow testing whether everything needed is under version control.
This seems like something that should be easy.
If I cannot do it, I might have to give up on version control,
as git seems to have conquered the world.
To be clear, by "cloned", I mean that I made it with git clone.
I want to maintain the clone as a more or less exact copy of its mother.
The clone, of course, would remember its mother.
>From git help fetch and git help pull , I gathered I could do this.
Nyet.
No combination of git fetch and git pull seems to do the trick.
Eventually I got
[hennebry@fedora sqrt-g]$ git pull
\There is no tracking information for the current branch.
Please specify which branch you want to merge with.
See git-pull(1) for details.
git pull <remote> <branch>
If you wish to set tracking information for this branch you can do so with:
git branch --set-upstream-to=origin/<branch> master
[hennebry@fedora sqrt-g]$ gvim /tmp/git.txt
[hennebry@fedora sqrt-g]$ pwd
/home/hennebry/sqrt-g
[hennebry@fedora sqrt-g]$ git branch
corrections
* master
split1
[hennebry@fedora sqrt-g]$
I am not happy.
What happened?
How do I do what I want to do?
Will I have to process each branch one at a time?
That could be difficult, since at the moment,
I cannot even process one branch.
git fetch --all ?
The mother is on an SD card that through USB has
been continuously connected to my PC at all times.
The clone is on my hard drive.
[hennebry@fedora sqrt-g]$ git remote -v
origin /run/media/hennebry/data2/mathprog/sqrt-g (fetch)
origin /run/media/hennebry/data2/mathprog/sqrt-g (push)
[hennebry@fedora sqrt-g]$ [hennebry@fedora sqrt-g]$ git diff
[hennebry@fedora sqrt-g]$ git merge
fatal: No remote for the current branch.
[hennebry@fedora sqrt-g]$
