Git errors: cannot checkout branch - error: pathspec 'branch_name' did not match any file(s) known to git

 git checkout branch_name

error: pathspec 'branch_name' did not match any file(s) known to git

To fix that you can remove remote origin and link it again.

First, check the remote origin:

git remote -v
origin  git@github.com:company/project_name (fetch)
origin  git@github.com:company/project_name (push)

Then remove origin:

git remote remove origin

And add remote origin again with correct path from your repository (copy from

GitHub/GitLab/etc.):

git remote add origin git@github.com:company/project_name.git

After that run:

git pull --ff-only

And set upstream to origin branch:

git branch --set-upstream-to=origin/current_branch







Steps:

1. git remote -v

2. git remote remove origin

3. git remote add origin git@github.com:company/project_name.git

4. git pull --ff-only

5. git branch --set-upstream-to=origin/current_branch

git pull fails "unable to resolve reference" "unable to update local ref" - some local refs could not be updated

$ git gc --prune=now

$ git remote prune origin

Git fetch is not fetching all branches. error: pathspec did not match any file(s) known to git.

The problem can be seen when checking the remote.origin.fetch setting
(The lines starting with $ are bash prompts with the commands I typed. The other lines are the resulting output)

$ git config --get remote.origin.fetch
+refs/heads/master:refs/remotes/origin/master

As you can see, in my case, the remote was set to fetch the master branch specifically and only. I fixed it as per below, including the second command to check the results.

$ git config --replace-all remote.origin.fetch "+refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/origin/*"
$ git config --get remote.origin.fetch
+refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/origin/*

The wildcard * of course means everything under that path.

Merge remote repo into forked repo

1. Add the remote, call it “upstream”:

git remote add upstream https://github.com/whoever/whatever.git

2. Fetch all the branches of that remote into remote-tracking branches,
such as upstream/master:

git fetch upstream

3. Make sure that you’re on your master branch:

git checkout master

4. Rewrite your master branch so that any commits of yours that aren’t already in upstream/master are replayed on top of that other branch:

git rebase upstream/master

5. Push to your remote fork

git push -f origin master

Adding an existing or new project to GitHub using the command line

1. Create a new repository on GitHub. To avoid errors, do not initialize the new repository with README, license, or gitignore files. You can add these files after your project has been pushed to GitHub.
2. Open Terminal.
3. Change the current working directory to your local project.
4. Initialize the local directory as a Git repository.

   git init
   

5. Add the files in your new local repository. This stages them for the first commit.

   git add .
   # Adds the files in the local repository and stages them for commit. To unstage a file, use 'git reset HEAD YOUR-FILE'.
   

6. Commit the files that you've staged in your local repository.

   git commit -m "First commit"
   # Commits the tracked changes and prepares them to be pushed to a remote repository. To remove this commit and modify the file, use 'git reset --soft HEAD~1' and commit and add the file again.
   

7. At the top of your GitHub repository's Quick Setup page, click  to copy the remote repository URL.
8. In Terminal, add the URL for the remote repository where your local repository will be pushed.

   git remote add origin remote repository URL
   # Sets the new remote
   git remote -v
   # Verifies the new remote URL
   

9. Push the changes in your local repository to GitHub.

   git push -u origin master
   # Pushes the changes in your local repository up to the remote repository you specified as the origin

function gbl() {

}

Add the above function to bash_profile / profile. And then you can call like, >> gbl author


>> vim ~/.profile

add the following line,

function gbl() { git for-each-ref --sort=-committerdate --format='%(committerdate) %(authorname) %(refname)' refs/remotes/origin/|grep -e ".$@"|head -n 10; }


then call it like below,

>> gbl author_name
