I am trying to make the initial commit to a git repository on GitHub for a Unity project. I followed along with this guide to get to where I am. Note: For some reason or another, I couldn't set Unity's Asset Serialization Mode to Force Text, so I settled on Mixed (which I believe should work).

When I call git clone --bare . , I get an error.

Note that I am not the creator of the repository and only a contributor (though I am making the initial commit).

Here's everything in my terminal (I'm using Git Bash):

I searched for solutions to this, but nothing that I found seemed to have the same cause as what I am getting. Help on this is much appreciated!

  • zarazha is not your own github account, correct? But you have write permission to the swarch repository?

It looks as though you have two issues here.

First, you need a .gitignore file that correctly limits the files you're adding to Git. This is covered in the tutorial you linked, but it seems you've not followed this correctly (as your add is including files from the Temp folder). Looking at your file list, it seems you've just named this file .gitignore.txt by accident. Remove the file extension and then try starting again (re-run the git add) and you'll get better results.

The problem with your clone is that your second argument (the path ".") is incorrect. It's not required (the default would be . anyway), and if you do want to specify it, it comes after the repository, not before (see the Git docs for details - <repository> comes before <directory>).

So, I think your clone should instead just be this:

git clone --bare https://github.com/zarazha/swarch.git

  • That solved the problem. I forgot to get rid of the file extension! Also, I had no idea what the dot after the --bare was for, so I just included it like the tutorial showed. Thanks a lot!

I also had this problem one time on MacOS. Turns out SourceTree was trying to clone to my /Developer/Projects folder. This is a system folder turns out. I changed to some other folder and it worked.

Run commands for php-fpm(or your container name) container:

docker-compose exec --user=root php-fpm bash
chown www-data:www-data -R /home/www-data
