Let me check…OK, here's what happened when I did what you suggested: In particular, the errors that |

It looks like you might be back in business to me; is anything not working now? If you try running |

@tdsmith: If it helps, I'm on OS X 'El Capitan' v10.11.4. Also, here's the exact sequence of commands I used before my current problems with Homebrew cropped up and which I believe might be at least partly responsible: The stuff having to do with branching and the |

@tdsmith: Well, I'm not exactly sure what to do with my downstream fork of what has become Homebrew/legacy-homebrew. Given the core/formula split, I think I should just configure my local Homebrew install to ignore it, delete it, and start fresh whenever I next need to submit a pull request, but I want to make sure I know what to do (other than remembering not to push to or pull from said old fork) before I attempt that. P. S.: Here's the output I got from I take it I can just discard the stash? Other than that, everything does look OK, so thank you. |

Yeh, you should refork either Homebrew/brew or Homebrew/homebrew-core as desired and then you can |
|
@MikeMcQuaid: Thanks for clearing that up. Should we update Homebrew's documentation to let other contributors know that this is the recommended course of action, though? I imagine that I might not end up being the only one getting confused by errors otherwise. |

@tdsmith: This is slightly off topic, but to which of my previous comments did you mean your 'thumbs up' emoticon to apply? Since you put it in a separate post instead of applying it to the relevant comment using GitHub's recently added 'Reactions' feature, I can't tell. |
|
The most recent one, directed to me. |
|
@tdsmith: Ah, thanks. |
|
I think there's nothing to follow up on here; glad it's working for you now! |
|
@tdsmith: Well, there was that little documentation fix I proposed to @MikeMcQuaid in this comment, but I should probably just re-submit that as a separate issue (or maybe even a full-fledged pull request if either of you guys can tell me what kind of changes would help prevent others' confusion over problems like mine) now that we're done here. |
|
Forgive me if this is a dumb question but is this issue related to this error I'm getting now? |
|
@diversario No, this is unrelated. Please open a new issue and try to include a bit more information (what was the behavior in the past, what did you expect to happen, …) so we have a chance to help you. |

During an attempt to update my own copy of the Homebrew repository after it was split in two upstream and I ran
brew update -vdto reflect this change, I was presented with the following output upon runninggit -C $(brew --repository) push -v…:…and
git -C $(brew --repository) pull -v RandomDSdevel, …:…, respectively. Even after running the following commands…:
sudo chown -Rv $(whoami) /usr/localsudo chmod -R +a "zadmin allow delete,readattr,writeattr,readextattr,writeextattr,readsecurity,writesecurity,list,search,add_file,add_subdirectory,delete_child,read,write,append,execute,file_inherit,directory_inherit" /usr/localsudo chmod -R +a "bryce allow delete,readattr,writeattr,readextattr,writeextattr,readsecurityritesecurity,list,search,add_file,add_subdirectory,delete_child,read,write,append,execute,file_inherit,directory_inherit" /usr/localsudo chmod -R +a "_developer allow delete,readattr,writeattr,readextattr,writeextattr,readsecurity,writesecurity,list,search,add_file,add_subdirectory,delete_child,read,write,append,execute,file_inherit,directory_inherit" /usr/local…in an attempt to remedy any permissions errors I might be having that might have made things worse, I still got errors while trying to push and pull from my Homebrew fork, though, this time, they were different: for
git -C $(brew --repository) push -v, I got this, …:…, whereas for
git -C $(brew --repository) pull -v RandomDSdevel, I got this:When trying to run
brew update -vd, I got this:Essentially, I think I just completely messed up my Homebrew install! I'm not entirely sure what to do to fix it, so can you guys help me fix it, please?
