commit is not accessible using TortoiseGit Daemon

Question

This is how I share the changes in our local branch without pushing to remote-repository.

Steps to share a new added file or changes in repository:

1. select a project and create a branch on it.

   TortoiseGit > Create Branch

2. then switch to newly created branch.

   TortoiseGit > Switch/Checkout

3. inside the project make any changes to an existing file or add new file.

4. commit the changes to newly created branch.

   Git Commit > new branch

Select and check the file that were modified or newly created and Commit .

5. to share it to local repository and to make it to visible with-out pushing it to remote-repository or remote-origin. TortoiseGit > Daemon

   

6. check-out the branch by git clone and use the git://< ip address >/< branch > . in our case we create the test_branch so the url looks like this git://10.192.20.140/test_branch

   

now, my question is. why is it that when i clone that daemon branch it will then throw an exception of?

Answer 1

If you started the git daemon using TortoiseGit just use URL presented in the git.exe progress dialog: "git://10.192.20.140/", there is no need to specify a repository name or a branch name. If you want to clone a specific branch you have to enter this in the clone dialog (or add specific parameters to git clone ).

git clone git://10.192.20.140/
