"fatal: Not a git repository" on github_deploy attempt with the "lotabout" theme #76

Closed kishorbhat closed 8 years ago

kishorbhat commented 8 years ago

More specifically,

$ git init .
Initialized empty Git repository in /home/kishor/blog/nikola/blog/.git/
fatal: Not a git repository: themes/lotabout/../../.git/modules/v7/lotabout

Now, the output of any git command in this directory gives that fatal: Not a git repository: themes/lotabout/../../.git/modules/v7/lotabout error.

The themes/lotabout/../../.git/modules/v7/lotabout folder doesn't even exist. What's happening here?

@therealkbhat Are there any .gitmodules files?

kishorbhat commented 8 years ago

@hhirsch nope.

hhirsch commented 8 years ago

@therealkbhat Can you upload these files somewhere so I can try to reproduce the problem?

kishorbhat commented 8 years ago

@hhirsch Seeing as how git wasn't working there, I put it up on Google Drive. You can get the blog files here.

hhirsch commented 8 years ago

For me it worked without error: 

 ~/Downloads/blog (master●)
$ git init
Reinitialisierte existierendes Git-Repository in /home/henry/Downloads/blog/.git/

~/Downloads/blog (master●)
$ git status
Auf Branch master

Initialer Commit

Unversionierte Dateien:
  (benutzen Sie "git add <Datei>...", um die Änderungen zum Commit vorzumerken)

        .gitignore
        conf.py
        files/
        images/
        posts/
        themes/

nichts zum Commit vorgemerkt, aber es gibt unversionierte Dateien (benutzen Sie "git add" zum Versionieren)

 ~/Downloads/blog (master●)

There is a .git file there that is not handled correctly. I’ll fix that now.

(this was also in #72)

kishorbhat commented 8 years ago

@hhirsch @Kwpolska Yup, that .git file was the problem. Thank you both for your time!
