Pristine initialize_project provides Warning and subsequent quickactivate does not work

[mocalvao]

When I try to create a pristine project via:

julia> using DrWatson

julia> inititialize_project("test")

I get:

Warning: We couldn't rename default branch to main, please do it manually. We got error: │ UndefVarError: GitReference not defined

Nevertheless, the project files and directories are correctly (?) created and the new environment/project "test" is activated, as per the ] prompt ...

However, after restarting Julia, and trying:

julia> using DrWatson

julia> quickactivate(".")

I get:

Warning: DrWatson could not find find a project file by recursively checking given dirand its parents. Returningnothing instead. │ (given dir: )

and this time I do not end up in the new environment/project "test"...

My Julia version is 1.8.3 and DrWatson version is 2.12.1

Sorry for the stupid question: I was using the quickactivate command from the wrong directory.

However, the annoying warning from the initialize_command still bugs me. Is it related to any other issue? Should I be concerned with it?

You shouldn't be concerned. One needs to use Git.jl as a proper git interface instead of the internal Lib2Git we use to make the git repo and attempt to rename it. Feel free to open a PR that fixes this, but the warning isn't worth a worry at the moment.
