Problem with git on RubyStack vm

Hello

I have a problem with git on RubyStack virtual machine.

I performed the following steps:

- firstly setup the remote repository on my RubyStack vm:

1. mkdir /root/projects/test/.git
2. cd /root/projects/test/.git
3. git init —bare
   Initialized empty Git repository in /root/projects/test/.git

- on my local Windows XP machine:

$ cd my_project
$ git init
$ git add *
$ git commit -m “My initial commit message”
$ git remote add origin root@192.168.1.2:projects/test/.git
$ git push origin master

Git successfully connected to root@192.168.1.2 and requested to enter the password for the root user. I entered the correct password and after that received the following error message:

git: ‘projects/test/.git’ is not a git-command. See ‘git –help’
fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly

ssh works fine, I can connect to vm using Putty without problems.
I also stoped the firewall on vm and on my local machine and tried
to use different paths in origin projects/test, root/projects/test/.git
and other combinations, but always get the same error.

Please help to solve this problem.

Thank you in advance.

Hi,

Can you please try to add ‘git’ command to the PATH environment variable inside /root/.bashrc:

PATH=/opt/bitnami/git/bin:$PATH

or just insert the following snippet to the same file:

. /opt/bitnami/scripts/setenv.sh

Let me know if this works for you.

Cheers.

Thank you for your reply!

The path to /opt/bitnami/git/bin included in the PATH variable by
default. All git commands like pull, clone, fetch, etc worked fine.
But git push did work at all. I modified the /root/.bashrc and
included the path to /opt/bitnami/git/libexec/git-core into the
PATH variable, see bellow:

#!/bin/sh
if [ -r “/opt/bitnami/scripts/setenv.sh” ]; then
. /opt/bitnami/scripts/setenv.sh
fi
PATH=/opt/bitnami/git/libexec/git-core:$PATH
if [ -x “/root/change-root-password.sh” ]; then
/root/change-root-password.sh
fi

After that the problem has been solved !!!

Please add this path into the PATH variable by default
in the next RubyStack vm release. Thank You.

Thanks for reporting this issue. We will fix it for the new version of RubyStack.

I’m running the latest VMWare image with ubuntu but I’m running the same issue.

Hi,

Sorry we did not release the new version yet, we are working to add new features. We will try to release soon. You can fix the issue with the danoo and ratnik solutions.

You can also call git directly until this is fixed

/opt/rubystack-2.1-0/git/bin/git

Right, we will release a new version soon.
