You can not create git repository with LyX. You need to do it manually
and then simple git commands will work inside LyX.

If you try to put lyx file under version control in LyX, it will try to
use rcs by default, not git and that's the problem you see ('ci' command
is part of rcs as others already suggested.)

el,

  It does with SVN but GIT uses commit instead of check in. My fingers do
the right thing and I mis-remembered when I wrote the message.

Apologies,

el,

  'ci' is also a git alias for 'commit' and works on the command line.
Since I use git for my programming (python, grass, R, sql) saving versions
using the CLI is fine with me.

Issues with version control

2017-12-23 Thread Rich Shepard

  I _thought_ I had set up version control using GIT. Checking in the
document after adding text now generates an error (see attached .png).

  Turns out that there was no .git repository in that directory, so I
created one manually and will manually commit changes. Perhaps it's not
working from the File -> Version control menu item?
