Hello!
I have connected XCode with my github account and when I try to commit from Source Control -> Commit and check the box to push to origin/remote, I get the following error:
An unknown error occured. could not find repository from '.' (-1).
When I do not check the box to push to remote and then do an aditional step to manually push, I do not get this error.
But I can see the changes to the remote.
What could be the problem?
Thank you!
The error message you're encountering suggests that Xcode is having trouble identifying the repository associated with your project. This could occur due to a few possible reasons. Here are some potential solutions to try:
Verify Git Initialization: Ensure that you have initialized Git in your project's root directory. If you haven't already done so, you can initialize Git by opening a terminal, navigating to your project's directory, and running the command git init.
Check Remote Configuration: Confirm that the remote repository is properly configured in your project. You can verify this by opening a terminal, navigating to your project's directory, and running the command git remote -v. This command should display the URL of the remote repository. If it doesn't show any output, you'll need to add the remote repository using the git remote add command.
Confirm Xcode's Git Configuration: Ensure that Xcode is using the correct Git executable. You can check this by going to Xcode's Preferences (Xcode -> Preferences), selecting the "Locations" tab, and confirming that the "Command Line Tools" dropdown displays the version of Git you have installed.
Restart Xcode: Sometimes, Xcode might encounter temporary glitches. Try restarting Xcode and attempting the commit and push operation again.
Update Xcode: Ensure that you're using the latest version of Xcode. If you're not on the latest version, consider updating Xcode to see if the issue persists.
Check File Permissions: Ensure that the files and directories in your project have the necessary read and write permissions. If any files or directories have restrictive permissions, it may prevent Xcode from performing Git operations.
If none of these solutions resolve the issue, it might be helpful to provide more specific details about your project structure, Git configuration, and any other relevant information that could assist in troubleshooting the problem further.
