[Bioc-devel] Use of master vs devel branch on git@git.bioconductor.org

2 messages · Richard Heery, Shepherd, Lori

Hi all,

I have a package in review on git at git.bioconductor.org and I have added a
remote named upstream pointing to my package there as outlined here
http://contributions.bioconductor.org/git-version-control.html#new-package-workflow
.

However, I've noticed that there are two branches on the remote now, master
and devel, and that I can push to the master branch okay, but if I push to
the devel branch I get the error:

src refspec devel does not match any
error: failed to push some refs to 'git at git.bioconductor.org:
packages/TumourMethData.git'.

I am unsure if I should continue using the master branch or not as all the
examples in the linked workflow show use of the devel branch.

Cheers,

Richard

You should not be pushing to master.  We have left it there temporarily on packages as we make this transition to using devel permanently.  Pushing to devel should work and we can help investigate further why this isn't working for you.

Please provide output for
git remote -v
git fetch --all
git branch -a

and provide the full command you are using to push to devel.
also what is the name on your local/github branch?

Cheers,
