"git-upload-pack" command not found with React v16.4.2

[drewkiimon]

For some reason, once in a blue moon I won't be able to run npm run deploy because when attempting to do "gh-pages -d build" it cannot find git-upload-pack. If I give it a day or two, then come back and try to deploy it works perfectly.

Is there a fix to this? Not sure how to push my React project to github pages when it keeps giving me these errors.

Edit: 8-17-18 @ 1 PM
It seems that my old projects running React v16.4.1 upload perfectly fine. However, my most recent project is using React v16.4.2. Anyone sure if that could be the reason why it isn't working?

Hi @drewkiimon,

I'll paste the error message here to facilitate future searches through this repo's issues:

git-upload-pack '.': git-upload-pack: command not found

I don't recall having seen that error message before.

I interpret the error message to mean whatever thing happens to be looking for a command named git-upload-pack is not finding one in the context in which it is looking for it. That's about all I have gleaned from the combination of information you provided and my own knowledge.

My thoughts:

• I think one way to find out what that thing is that is looking for that command, is to dig into the gh-pages -d build invocation and trace the execution flow. In other words, view the contents of C:\Users\pagana2\Documents\code\eversnake\node_modules\.bin\gh-pages (which is a bash script) and step through each instruction until you see something looking for the git-upload-pack command. I have not done this, myself, as it sounds pretty tedious to me!

• Assuming the thing is your shell, I am curious what the output of $ which git-upload-pack is, both when the deployment process is working and when the deployment process is not working.

  For reference, here is what $ which git-upload-pack outputs on my Windows system running Git bash inside ConEmu:

  $ which git-upload-pack
  /mingw64/bin/git-upload-pack
  

• I haven't tested this deployment process with React v16.4.2 yet. I'll put that on my todo list.

  • Test this deployment process with React v16.4.2.

So it because the git. Maybe reinstall it may work ???
P/S: Can you show me the Log (Error Log)

@dangpro-1210 @gitname It turns out that since I'm using CMDER it uses it's own pre-installed version of Git. I had to reinstall git, add the path to git-upload-pack, and then restart my computer to get it to work.

It's just weird since it worked in the past and I could see my React projects online.

I have the same error with all consoles. VS Code Integrated Terminal, Hyper and CMDER.

git-upload-pack '.': git-upload-pack: command not found fatal: Could not read from remote repository.

As @drewkiimon said, if it doesn't work, it 'cause the git it self. So the way to fix it is to reinstall it and add the git-upload-pack's path.

Hi, if you want resolve this mistake without efforts just try to do "npm run deploy" from git bash (not from cmder windows terminal)

@ieopvl Thanks dude.

[yervand-stepanyan]

@ieopvl Thank you, running "npm run deploy" from "git bash terminal" works for React v17.0.1, too.

[Tiffolin]

@ieopvl my luscious head of hair thanks you, (since I no longer have to spend hours pulling them out figuring how to 'fix' this)

[drewkiimon]

Seems like things have been sorted out!
