Subject: fatal: options '--bare' and '--origin foo' cannot be used together
Date: Wed, 21 Sep 2022 15:23:33 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20220921192333.yasrvnisccuk3ivg@Lima-X2> (raw)
Hi all,
I often like to change the name of the remote that I clone repositories
from, as "origin" is too generic for me when I have more than one
remote.
Usually, I only remember after I clone, and wind up doing `git remote
rename origin foo`. I'd like to get in the habit of instead doing
`git clone -o foo https://link.to/foo.git`. However, when I tried doing
this with --bare, I got the error that I've made the subject of this
email. Why can't I do this?
When I try to do `git remote rename origin foo` in the bare repository
(cloned without -o foo), I get a different error:
>fatal: could not unset 'remote.foo.fetch'
However, `git config remote.foo.fetch` indicates that this value is not
set.
Why does this behavior differ from the equivalent commands on a non-bare
repository?

John
