I didn't fully understand all the screen shots (e.g.which came first), but I did notice you had a --bare repo at one stage. Obviously (?) you can't do any work in such a repo as it has no working directory, and so you couldn't add a sub-module to it.
I'd suggest you at least get the initial commit into both the super project and sub-project (even it it is just the .gitignore files) before you try the sub-module add just to eliminate any confusion. Philip Please reply-to-all. ----- Original Message ----- From: Anand Krishnan To: [email protected] Sent: Sunday, September 30, 2012 12:41 PM Subject: [git-users] Problem while adding a submodule from an empty repo Hi I am facing some issues while adding a submodule. 1. I created an empty repo (testsub.git) - please check the GitRepoCreation.jpeg (as user git). 2. Then I tried to add the repo as a submodule in my project (as user anand) - please check the submodule creation.jpeg. 3. When I added the sub project, its showing a message "warning: You appear to have cloned an empty repository.". I understand this is due to the fact that I created the repository testsub.git as an empty one. 4. When I move to the submodule (cd testsub) and do a git status; it shows on a null branch. 5. I understand that initially it would be headless and we have to do git checkout master to move to the master branch. I did that but I got an error "error: pathspec 'master' did not match any file(s) known to git.". Now I dont know how to proceed on adding/commiting/pushing a new file using this sub module without being in any branch. Can some one please help?
