Defining remote throws an error: Remote does not exist #91

Closed reybango closed 9 years ago

reybango commented 9 years ago

Hey guys, I'm getting a "Unhandled rejection Error: Remote does not exist (git://git@github.com:reybango/jingotest.git)" message. That's the valid remote declaration from Github and it's set properly since I can push manually from my machine.

In config.yaml I defined remote as: remote: 'git://git@github.com:reybango/jingotest.git'

and I've tried the following variations too: remote: 'git@github.com:reybango/jingotest.git' remote: 'https://github.com/reybango/jingotest.git'

It's probably something very simple but the docs didn't quite define how to do it. If you can give me some guidance I'd be happy to do a pull request to update the docs with it once I get this fixed.

Hi,

the remote configuration directive is the name of the remote that you have defined to your local repository with a git remote add remotename remoteaddress. Jingo cannot create a remote for you.

So, to be able to use a remote with Jingo, just add a local remote and use that name in the remote key of the config.

Hope this help!

Hey @claudioc, thanks for the reply. I understand that Jingo won't do that. When I created my Github repo (https://github.com/reybango/jingotest), I added the remote to my local machine and that's working. That was done using Github's:

'git remote add origin https://github.com/reybango/jingotest.git'

Hence why when I do a 'git push' manually, my Github repo is updated.

It's just not working via Jingo when I define the remote in the 'remote' property in config.yaml.

As I said, try using:

remote: "origin"

It should work then.

reybango commented 9 years ago

Yep that did it. Thanks! PR coming shortly.

Oh, it's the remote name not the URL! Perhaps that could be clearer in the documentation somehow?

I thought there was a problem with BitBucket and set up GitPrep then Gogs trying to find something that worked.

Well, the documentation actually states This is the name of the remote you want to push/pull to/from (optional). Whenever a remote is mentioned, it is mentioned that this is the name of the remote, not the URL :)
