Trouble with moving a file into Sandbox

[Beeplosion]

I have been having trouble all day trying to move an image to the sandbox, so far I get to the end but it has trouble constantly trying to direct it to the sandbox

@Beeplosion Okay, let's see if I can walk you through this. Are you online now? Are you trying to use mv or cp to move the file? If you're stuck on that part, can you show me the commands your entering? Are you at the position of the textEncoding-Hub on your local computer when you're tying to copy the file in? Where is the source file located?

@Beeplosion Here's a shortcut: It is perfectly okay to drag and drop a file into the textEncoding-Hub/Sandbox using your file manager or Finder. There's no harm in that. Then go and open your Bash or Terminal to do that sequence: git add . git commit -m "your commit message here" git push

At some point in there, either when you commit or push, you'll probably be prompted to enter your GitHub username and password, so do that carefully!

the tricky part is I seem to have done this but when I try to push the image in this pops up: " git push fatal: The current branch master has no upstream branch. To push the current branch and set the remote as upstream, use

git push --set-upstream origin master

sorti@DESKTOP-O8NKM44 MINGW64 ~/Documents/GitHub/textEncoding-Hub/Sandbox (master) $ git push --set-upstream origin master fatal: 'C:/Users/sorti/Documents/Lillie.jpg' does not appear to be a git repository fatal: Could not read from remote repository.

Please make sure you have the correct access rights and the repository exists."

"$ git remote -v origin C:/Users/sorti/Documents/Lillie.jpg (fetch) origin C:/Users/sorti/Documents/Lillie.jpg (push) "

I somehow made another sandbox within the sandbox

@Beeplosion Hmmm. This looks to me like you're trying to enter your git push from the wrong location! You want to navigate to the textEncoding-Hub on your computer to do the git commands from there. It looks like you are just up in your Documents directory and not in your GitHub/textEncodingHub.

So, here's what should happen. If you are trying to push Lillie.jpg to the Sandbox on the remote web repo that we share, you first need to save it to the Sandbox directory of textEncodingHub. Its file location should be inside textEncoding-Hub/Sandbox It looks to me like you're trying to push it from your Documents directory. Instead it should be here: C:/Users/sorti/Documents/GitHub/textEncoding-Hub/Sandbox/Lillie.jpg

@Beeplosion Hmm. How did you get a Sandbox inside the Sandbox? We will probably need to undo that.

@Beeplosion Would it help to share your screen over a Zoom session right now? I think I can help you troubleshoot this. Or we can try fixing before / after class tomorrow.
