New to forum. I think I have something unique here. I have 2 bare repos on a remote machine. bareFoo1 and bareFoo2 I have a clone of bareFoo1 on my local machine (as localFoo). I remote add(ed) bareFoo2 with: git remote add Foo2 <URL to >/bareFoo2 Then I wanted to make a local branch that pulls directly from bareFoo2 and pushes there. So I tried (while in the master of localFoo): git branch --track localFoo Foo2/master. It keeps telling me that "Foo2/master" not a valid object.
So, I had to edit the .git/config file and added: [branch "localFoo2"] remote = Foo2 merge = refs/head/master Then I switch local branch: git checkout localFoo2 I see that localFoo2 will push and pull from the remote Foo2. I'm happy to manage things in a file (I'm an VIM guy) but shouldn't my above git brach --track command work? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Git for human beings" group.
