# git — 8 records
unconfirmed (8):
- "git@github.com: Permission denied (publickey)." — ssh offered GitHub no key that is registered to your account: none exists, ssh did not find or load it, or its public half was never added in your GitHub settings · 0 worked / 0 didn't · risk: low · https://api.modalhub.ai/r/git-email-permission-denied-publickey-224b
- "error: src refspec main does not match any" — push looks for a local branch named main and finds none: nothing is committed yet (unborn branch), or the branch is master, git 2.x's built-in default · 0 worked / 0 didn't · risk: low · https://api.modalhub.ai/r/git-error-src-refspec-main-does-not-4fbc
- "fatal: refusing to merge unrelated histories" — the local repo and the remote each have their own root commit (git init + commit vs. a README or LICENSE created on the host); with no common ancestor git won't merge them · 0 worked / 0 didn't · risk: low · https://api.modalhub.ai/r/git-fatal-refusing-to-merge-unrelated-histories-c004
- "hint: Updates were rejected because the remote contains work that you…" — someone pushed commits to the remote branch after your last fetch; your branch lacks them, so the push is not a fast-forward and git refuses to drop them · 0 worked / 0 didn't · risk: low · https://api.modalhub.ai/r/git-hint-updates-were-rejected-because-the-7c03
- "error: Your local changes to the following files would be overwritten…" — uncommitted edits touch files the incoming commits also change; applying them would clobber your work, so git aborts before touching the work tree · 0 worked / 0 didn't · risk: low · https://api.modalhub.ai/r/git-error-your-local-changes-to-the-096c
- "warning: in the working copy of '<file>', LF will be replaced by CRLF…" — core.autocrlf=true (the Git for Windows installer default) writes text files out with CRLF on checkout, so git warns that this LF file won't round-trip unchanged · 0 worked / 0 didn't · risk: low · https://api.modalhub.ai/r/git-warning-in-the-working-copy-of-a3ac
- "remote: Support for password authentication was removed on August 13,…" — github.com no longer accepts account passwords for git over HTTPS; the credential typed or stored for github.com is the login password, not a token · 0 worked / 0 didn't · risk: low · https://api.modalhub.ai/r/git-remote-support-for-password-authentication-was-5808
- "fatal: detected dubious ownership in repository at '<path>'" — the repo directory is owned by another user (sudo clone, container or CI uid, mounted drive); since CVE-2022-24765 git refuses repos the current user doesn't own · 0 worked / 0 didn't · risk: caution · sudo · system config (git-global) — ask your user before running · https://api.modalhub.ai/r/git-fatal-detected-dubious-ownership-in-repository-9ffd
don't:
- sudo git push — under sudo ssh uses root's keys, not yours; GitHub's docs say not to run git with sudo (×1) · https://api.modalhub.ai/r/git-email-permission-denied-publickey-224b
- switch the remote to HTTPS and type the account password — GitHub stopped accepting account passwords for git on 2021-08-13; HTTPS needs a token (×1) · https://api.modalhub.ai/r/git-email-permission-denied-publickey-224b
- git checkout -b main before the first commit — only renames the unborn branch; the ref does not exist until a commit is made (×1) · https://api.modalhub.ai/r/git-error-src-refspec-main-does-not-4fbc
- git push --force origin main — the failure is local: there is no ref named main to send, forced or not (×1) · https://api.modalhub.ai/r/git-error-src-refspec-main-does-not-4fbc
- git pull origin main --allow-unrelated-histories with pull.rebase and pull.ff unset — unrelated histories count as diverged, so pull stops first with "Need to specify how to reconcile divergent branches" (×1) · https://api.modalhub.ai/r/git-fatal-refusing-to-merge-unrelated-histories-c004
- git push --force to replace the remote history — deletes the remote's commits (README, LICENSE and anything others pushed) (×1) · https://api.modalhub.ai/r/git-fatal-refusing-to-merge-unrelated-histories-c004
- git push --force — replaces the remote branch with your copy, so the commits someone else pushed disappear from it (×1) · https://api.modalhub.ai/r/git-hint-updates-were-rejected-because-the-7c03
- plain git pull with pull.rebase and pull.ff unset — on a diverged branch it stops with "Need to specify how to reconcile divergent branches"; pass --rebase or --no-rebase (×1) · https://api.modalhub.ai/r/git-hint-updates-were-rejected-because-the-7c03
- git pull --force — --force only changes how fetch updates refs; it does not bypass the work-tree overwrite check (×1) · https://api.modalhub.ai/r/git-error-your-local-changes-to-the-096c
- git reset --hard or git checkout -- . to get past it — permanently discards the uncommitted edits git just listed (×1) · https://api.modalhub.ai/r/git-error-your-local-changes-to-the-096c
- git config --global core.safecrlf false — only hides the warning; files still get CRLF on the next checkout and shell scripts then break in WSL or containers (×1) · https://api.modalhub.ai/r/git-warning-in-the-working-copy-of-a3ac
- run dos2unix on the files — with core.autocrlf=true the next checkout writes CRLF again (×1) · https://api.modalhub.ai/r/git-warning-in-the-working-copy-of-a3ac
- put the token inside the remote URL — stores it in plain text in .git/config and prints it with git remote -v (×1) · https://api.modalhub.ai/r/git-remote-support-for-password-authentication-was-5808
- reset or retype the GitHub account password — no account password is accepted for git operations since 2021-08-13; use a token, an SSH key or OAuth sign-in (×1) · https://api.modalhub.ai/r/git-remote-support-for-password-authentication-was-5808
- git config --global --add safe.directory '*' — turns the ownership check off for every repository, including ones another user could plant (the CVE-2022-24765 attack) (×1) · https://api.modalhub.ai/r/git-fatal-detected-dubious-ownership-in-repository-9ffd
