Hi, I wanted to manage one of my projects modules as a submodule, instead of continuously maintaining the submodule in the project, as well as in its designated remote repository. So I deleted the current module in my project and added it as a submodule from its remote repository. I did a few commits. No problems so far. But now I want to push those commits to the remote repository from within my project. Now the surprise: It does not work: -------------------------------- refusing to update checked out branch: refs/heads/master By default, updating the current branch in a non-bare repository is denied, because it will make the index and work tree inconsistent with what you pushed, and will require 'git reset --hard' to match the work tree to HEAD.
You can set 'receive.denyCurrentBranch' configuration variable to 'ignore' or 'warn' in the remote repository to allow pushing into its current branch; however, this is not recommended unless you arranged to update its work tree to match what you pushed in some other way. To squelch this message and still keep the default behaviour, set 'receive.denyCurrentBranch' configuration variable to 'refuse'. To /home/joe/CloudFusion ! [remote rejected] master -> master (branch is currently checked out) error: failed to push some refs to '/home/joe/CloudFusion' -------------------------------- Unable to imagine why pushing my commits should pose any problem what so ever, I tried: $git config receive.denyCurrentBranch ignore Still no success. I guess I need to set this somewhere else. Perhaps at my remote repository on Github? - I wouldn't know how to do this. Another thing I guess would work is to make a local clone of my project, but why do I even need to go through all this trouble? Most importantly, how can I push my commits in the most simple way?
