Repository not foundGit

remote: Repository not found. fatal: repository 'https://github.com/x/y.git/' not found

GitHub/GitLab says the repository doesn’t exist — or you lack access to a private repo.

origin not a repositoryGit

fatal: 'origin' does not appear to be a git repository

No remote named origin is configured (or it points nowhere valid).

cannot lock refGit

error: cannot lock ref 'refs/remotes/origin/x': is at … but expected … / unable to update local ref

Git couldn’t update a reference — stale remote-tracking refs, case-only branch name clashes, or a leftover lock file.

non-bare pushGit

! [remote rejected] main -> main (branch is currently checked out)

You pushed to a non-bare repository whose working tree has that branch checked out.

broken refGit

warning: ignoring broken ref refs/remotes/origin/HEAD

A ref file is empty or points to a missing object — usually refs/remotes/origin/HEAD after the default branch changed.

couldn't find remote refGit

fatal: couldn't find remote ref main

The branch you tried to pull/fetch doesn’t exist on the remote.

Two steps away (13)

publickeyGit

Git: Permission denied (publickey). fatal: Could not read from remote repository.

SSH authentication to GitHub/GitLab/Bitbucket failed — no key, wrong key, or the key isn’t added to your account.

Authentication failedGit

fatal: Authentication failed for 'https://github.com/x/y.git/'

HTTPS authentication to the Git host failed — wrong or expired credentials, or a password used where a token is required.

password auth removedGit

remote: Support for password authentication was removed on August 13, 2021. Please use a personal access token instead.

GitHub no longer accepts account passwords for Git over HTTPS.

untracked files overwrittenGit

error: The following untracked working tree files would be overwritten by checkout/merge

Untracked local files have the same paths as files coming from the other branch.

submodule urlGit

fatal: No url found for submodule path 'x' in .gitmodules

A submodule entry exists in the index but its URL is missing from .gitmodules.

unknown revision HEADGit

fatal: ambiguous argument 'HEAD': unknown revision or path not in the working tree.

The repository has no commits yet (or the ref doesn’t exist), so HEAD can’t be resolved.

non-fast-forwardGit

Git: ! [rejected] … (fetch first) — error: failed to push some refs

The remote branch has commits you don’t have locally, so Git refuses to overwrite them. Pull (merge or rebase) first, then push.

GH001 large filesGit

remote: error: GH001: Large files detected. File x is 120 MB; this exceeds GitHub's file size limit of 100.00 MB

GitHub rejected the push because a file over 100 MB is in your commits — even if you deleted it later.

protected branchGit

remote: error: GH006: Protected branch update failed / pre-receive hook declined

The server rejected your push because of branch protection rules or a server-side hook.

refs on function componentsReact

Warning: Function components cannot be given refs. Attempts to access this ref will fail. Did you mean to use React.forwardRef()?

A ref was passed to a function component that doesn’t forward it.

detached HEADGit

You are in 'detached HEAD' state.

HEAD points at a commit instead of a branch, so new commits won’t belong to any branch.

pathspec did not matchGit

error: pathspec 'x' did not match any file(s) known to git

Git couldn’t find the file or branch name you referenced.

src refspecGit

error: src refspec main does not match any

You pushed a branch name that doesn’t exist locally — usually no commits yet, or the branch is called master not main.
