What is the name of your repository? it is "/d/git/git1/my_project" or it is "my_project"? When the name is "my_project", then you should use this url http://localhost:8080/scm/git/my_project. Repositories can not have slashes in their names.

Yes the scm-manager uses jgit.

The simplest way to import a git repository with scm-manager is the following:

• create a new repository with the webinterface (choose a simple name without additional characters)

• then go to your local repository and push it to the new repository:

  git push http://localhost:8080/scm/git/yourrepositoryname master

Here is simple video example for creating a new git repository: http://www.scm-manager.org/videos/

It is possible that you create an bitbucket account? because the notification system of bitbucket does not notify on anonymous comments.

Hi Sebastian.

I've got an account now.
Indeed, the name of my repo is "/d/git/git1/my_project" because i've created it with msysgit and imported in scm-manager.

I'll try you method and report you a status.
Thanks

I've got an issue with msysgit under XP and unicode during the push
"
warning: Your console font probably doesn't support Unicode. If you experience strange characters in the output, consider switching to a TrueType font such
as Lucida Console!
fatal: write error: Broken pipe
"
Is there a way to init a repository rather than push my first repo ?
Where is the location of the repositories created by your app ?

Thanks

I tried again with a small repo and it's ok now.

Thanks a lot !

This program allows p2p workflows under windows without installing Cygwin or msysgit.
I'll try it with hg now.

Could you however answer to my previous questions (git init and repo location)

Are there forums on bitbucket ?

I found it in the "Git settings".

You can close this ticket.

Thanks again.

You can use the mailinglist (http://groups.google.com/group/scmmanager) or the bitbucket notification sytem instead of a forum. The repositories are located in .scm/repositories/git of the home directory from the user who owns the scm-manager process. What you mean with init? You could create a new repository and clone it.

git clone http://localhost:8080/scm/git/yourrepositoryname

I think this issue is resolved. When you have more questions please use mailinglist or the bitbucket notification system.
