Same here haha. StackOverflow informed me that it means GitHub is down, and indeed it was.
I have to wonder if Git could somehow report this better. I guess it depends on exactly how GitHub is down, but "fatal error in commit_refs" made me worry that my local repo was somehow hosed.
- TheSoftwareGuy 4y agoI think it can? whenever I can't connect to my company's git server I get a `failed to connect to git.company.com` message. or something like that
- masklinn 4y agoIt reports what it has, if it manages to connect but fetching the metadata or whatever fails, that’s what it’s going to report. If it can’t even connect it’ll tell you that, but I would assume on github the client will always manage to connect unless their entire network is down.
