error Cannot find the remote origin url

[ionelmc]

Seems it doesn't work on my git-svn repo 😞

$ git-stats-importer
error Cannot find the remote origin url. Please add it.

What's the output of git config --get remote.origin.url?

​No output at all. I don't have any remotes as you cannot push with a
git-svn repo.​

OK, so you have to add one. What do you mean by git-svn? Is it a git + svn repo? What is the remote url (where do you push the code)?

git-stats uses the remote urls to make differences between repositories.

[ionelmc]

This is git-svn: http://git-scm.com/docs/git-svn

I have this tho:

$ git svn info
Path: .
URL: https://some.url.example.com/to/svn/repo/trunk
Repository Root: https://some.url.example.com/to/svn/repo
Repository UUID: a0b528ad-c7e9-41a2-9749-cad4148cc57a
Revision: 12341234
Node Kind: directory

Regardless, relying on remote urls seems unnecessary, commits already have a good id: the hash - why can't you compare just on that?

[IonicaBizau]

Is there a way to get the the url only?

In the future I will probably make some stats regarding the repositories too.

In the meantime you can add a dummy remote url:

git remote add origin git@dummy.com:dummy/dummy.git

[philadams-zz]

Aha! git config --get remote.origin.url assumes, of course, that your default remote is named origin. Because I often have multiple remotes on different servers, my 'default' GitHub remote is usually named github.

Perhaps git-stats-importer can use something like git config --get remote.$(git remote | head -n1).url instead?

[IonicaBizau]

@philadams 👍 Can you create a pull request with this? Also, would it solve the issue with git-svn?

[nilleb]

I reproduce this bug on windows, on a pure git (pure, not bare) repository.

$ "Jenkins Integration\node_modules.bin\git-stats-importer"
error Cannot find the remote origin url. Please add it.

$ git config --get remote.origin.url
http://:@cgdlyovm0161:8080/tfs/tahaa/DT_FWK_GIT/_git/green

$ git config --get remote.$(git remote | head -n1).url
error: invalid key: remote.$(git
head: 1).url: number of lines is so large that it is not representable

[IonicaBizau]

Hmm... interesting.

What about the following?

$ git config --get remote.`git remote | head -n1`.url

[nilleb]

Same error message

error: invalid key: remote.`git
head: 1`.url: number of lines is so large that it is not representable

[IonicaBizau]

@nilleb What about git remote | head -n1? Maybe I will separate them in two exec calls.

[philadams-zz]

@IonicaBizau Yes - but I see you beat me to it! 👍

I confirm it's working just fine as importing in my repos now - thank you!

[nilleb]

splitting the instruction in two distinct instructions works.
but, pay attention to the part head -n1: the remotes are sorted alphabetically, not by their degree of importance (all the remotes are equal in importance).
in my case, the first remote doesn't correspond to the default one.

[IonicaBizau]

How should do we define the default remote?

[mrzepinski]

+1

[philadams-zz]

@nilleb @IonicaBizau I hadn't considered that. What exactly is the remote being used for? Just the remote.whatever.url as a key for the local commits cache? If so, I guess any remote regardless of importance would be fine?

[IonicaBizau]

@philadams In git-stats 2.0.0 the remotes will be kept in another way. Since the commit ids are unique, the can be stored in one object. And that makes the life easier.

[philadams-zz]

Nice - anticipating your future work with excitement. Love this project - thank you!

[IonicaBizau]

Thank you, @philadams, for nice words! 😄

git-stats 2.0.0 is almost here. ✨

See #26 for more information.
