Subject: Git Gui Clone: Error Failed to create repository (with hints)
Date: Fri, 29 Mar 2024 22:12:17 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <6aadf39561e13681c069d4da7b1a4581f143dc92.camel@googlemail.com> (raw)

Hello everyone,

when I clone a git repo (from github or COdeberg) through Git Gui I get
the following GUI error (nothing in the terminal and nothing in
journalctl):

"Failed to create repository <repo-path>: Hint Using 'master' as the
name for the initial branch. This default branch..." and so on.

I have no idea what is going on here. Has someone an idea what the
reason could be?

Cloning the same source into the same path from command line works.
The cloned git repo opens fine in git gui.

Best wishes
Tobias
