Update clone if local repository already exists about python-github-backup HOT 11 CLOSED

We definitely hande existing repositories correctly here. Can you post logging output of your run?

from python-github-backup.

Here's the output for one of my starred repos:

8<----- snip...
Cloning wii-u-gc-adapter repository from https://*****:[email protected]/ToadKing/wii-u-gc-adapter.git to /run/media/andrea/5295089D57AEB47E/old_hdd/github/starred/ToadKing/wii-u-gc-adapter/repository
git returned 128:

As you can see in line 5, it's stating that git returned a code of 128. On a seperate terminal, I ran the command in line 6 with my personal access token and --verbose, and it returned this:

andrea@inspiron ~>  git clone --verbose --mirror https://*****:[email protected]/ToadKing/wii-u-gc-adapter.git /run/media/andrea/5295089D57AEB47E/old_hdd/github/starred/ToadKing/wii-u-gc-adapter/repository

Looks like the bare check failed. That code is here

What is the output of the following from within that directory?

git rev-parse  --is-bare-repository

from python-github-backup.

andrea@inspiron ~> cd /run/media/andrea/5295089D57AEB47E/old_hdd/github/starred/ToadKing/wii-u-gc-adapter/repository
andrea@inspiron /r/m/a/5/o/g/s/T/w/repository> 
git rev-parse --is-bare-repository
true

I wonder if it's getting newlines or something. I'll have to play around with this to add verbose logging for you to try later tonight.

Definitely would be willing to test out or help out any way I can, can't risk losing all my repositories.

I'm encountering the exact same issue (also bare repos) on CentOS 7. GIT version is 2.9.3.

from python-github-backup.

I've updated my GIT to version 2.16.2 to see if that would make a difference but that doesn't make a difference unfortunately.

I no longer see this behavior (problem) with github-backup 0.20.0.
