John,
I'm struggling now with git (I'm a newbie to git, but we are moving to it
at work).
$ git status
On branch master
Initial commit
Untracked files:
(use "git add <file>..." to include in what will be committed)
.gnucash/
NOTES
gnucash-git/
gnucash-stable/
gnucash/
tmp-jhbuild-revision
nothing added to commit but untracked files present (use "git add" to track)
So, I want to make a branch like on the wiki:
$ git checkout master
error: pathspec 'master' did not match any file(s) known to git.
$ git branch working-master
fatal: Not a valid object name: 'master'.
I installed git version 1.9.0 in /usr/local and am using that instead of
Mac's 1.8.3.4, but this doesn't seem to make a difference.
After installing git version 1.9, all I did was "git init", set up "git
config" info with my name and email, then "git clone..." for gnucash.
It starting pulling code, no real problems after that, until I try to make
a branch. Then no love.
