github - git: can't create upstream branch -
the problem
i'm going bananas due git (or github?) idiosyncrasy - i've created new branch, can't push upstream repo on github. not first branch i'm pushing on repo, , went smooth far.
walkthrough
i've created new branch:
$ git checkout -b adam/no-push-bugfix
made changes file, and added of them (this means of changes not committed):
$ git add --patch path/to/some/file
made sure changes right:
$ git diff --staged $ git commit -v $ git status
and tried push:
$ git push --set-upstream origin adam/no-push-bugfix $ fatal: adam/whatever-name-bugfix cannot resolved branch.
any idea why new branch rejected upstream?
i not find right explanation issue on internet. adding other people understand problem.
git branch name case-sensitive , mapped file/directory in repository (not common new branches). result case-difference in git branch name may cause problem in case. in particular case see existing branches started "adam/". means there folder name "adam" exists in .git/refs/heads. when try push branch name started "adam/" conflicts exiting folder.
