fatal: Invalid raw date about ghp-import HOT 11 CLOSED

[Update] after reading several issues, somehow similar, I modified my user name (Pedro Velez) to avoid any space but I still get the same fatal: Invalid raw date It seems related to the way the date from the commit is used, but I am not able to fix it.

from ghp-import.

This looks similar to #60. Could you report what the following command returns for you?

import time
print(time.strftime('%z'))

from ghp-import.

Resolving in favor of #60 as this seems to be the same root cause. Please add any additional questions or follow-up to that other issue. Thanks!

This has been released in 0.6.0.

from ghp-import.

I'm using version 2.0.2 of ghp-import and Python 3.8.10. Still getting this error. Any idea what's wrong @c-w ?

I'm getting the following output from the code you mentioned above.

>>> import time
>>> print(time.strftime('%z'))
+0530
>>> 

from ghp-import.

Could you provide me with the full stack trace @imdeepmind? Also, what OS and git version are you on?

from ghp-import.

Here are the details @c-w

Looks like this is an unrelated issue. Could you provide the output of git config --list too, thanks!

from ghp-import.

Here it is @c-w

(env) imdeepmind@imdeepmind:~/Desktop/workspace/hocrox(enhancement/add-doc-site)$ git config --list
[email protected]
user.name=Abhishek Chatterjee <imdeepmind>

from ghp-import.

Could you try removing the <imdeepmind> from the user name: git config user.name "Abhishek Chatterjee"? I wonder if that's throwing off the fast-import date parser.

Thanks @c-w, changing the name user.name fixed the issue
