Windows 7 issues

My 2¢ of switching to git-ssb.

1. Not found repo

Trying to clone git-ssb repo to post issues.

$ git clone ssb://%n92DiQh7ietE+R+X/I403LQoyf2DtR3WQfCkDKlheQU=.sha256
Cloning into 'I403LQoyf2DtR3WQfCkDKlheQU=.sha256'...
Repo not found with ID %n92DiQh7ietE+R+X/I403LQoyf2DtR3WQfCkDKlheQU=.sha256

What does that mean? Is that ok? Is the repo not available now or there is some internal error?

2. Not found issues

Cloning that via https is ok, but cannot get access to issues. Is that due to 1.?

$ git clone https://git.scuttlebot.io/%25n92DiQh7ietE%2BR%2BX%2FI403LQoyf2DtR3WQfCkDKlheQU%3D.sha256 git-ssb
Cloning into 'git-ssb'...

$ cd git-ssb/

$ git ssb issues
unable to find git-ssb repo

3. Pushing to remote ssb gives EPIPE error

$ git init
Initialized empty Git repository in C:/projects/ssb-test/.git/

$ git ssb create ssb
Created repo: ssb://%J7zkHwkuAthDYHvfK7d3rZKyjEQY8dzemDrV4VJYTaY=.sha256 (ssb-test)
Added remote: ssb

$ touch .gitignore

$ git add -A
$ git commit -m "Init"

$ git push ssb master

error: failed to push some refs to 'ssb://%J7zkHwkuAthDYHvfK7d3rZKyjEQY8dzemDrV4VJYTaY=.sha256'

So how to post an issue, eg. this, to remote git-ssb?

Thanks for writing back!

1. You'll need to surround the ssb:// URI with single quotes, to keep your shell from interpreting some characters as control chars.
2. You might have to close via ssb:// in order to see issues.
3. Is sbot running?

1., 2.:

$ git clone 'ssb://%n92DiQh7ietE+R+X/I403LQoyf2DtR3WQfCkDKlheQU=.sha256' git-ssb
Cloning into 'git-ssb'...
Repo not found with ID %n92DiQh7ietE+R+X/I403LQoyf2DtR3WQfCkDKlheQU=.sha256

$ git clone "ssb://%n92DiQh7ietE+R+X/I403LQoyf2DtR3WQfCkDKlheQU=.sha256" git-ssb
Cloning into 'git-ssb'...
Repo not found with ID %n92DiQh7ietE+R+X/I403LQoyf2DtR3WQfCkDKlheQU=.sha256

3. Sure, sbot error is understandable Could not connect to sbot

What's on npm is an older version of git-ssb, I wonder if you'll need the latest (which is on ssb-npm). If you're OK with another piece of legwork, you can follow this ssb-npm guide and then reinstall git-ssb with ssb-npm i -g git-ssb.

(I could see this as feeling pretty difficult to get started. We're still a pretty young community, and lots of things are still rough around the edges.)

ssb-npm package is not in npm for now. I don't see it in github neither in git.scuttlebot.io. How to work that around?

[hackergrrl]

@dy Follow the guide I linked to in my above post; it'll walk you through it. ssb-npm is on ssb itself, so there's a bootstrapping process to follow.
