Pushing files to a BitBucket repo doesn’t work

0 Views

I’m new to git and would like to get started using bitbucket.org as a place to create a private repository. This can then be uploaded to the staging server using a service like ftploy.com as I understand.

I am following a tutorial on WPBeginner.com to set up a staging environment for my WordPress local website which I am developing. I set up git on the mac, ran git init on the theme folder and then added all the files using git add .

After that I made a first commit using git commit -m “message here” So far the process appeared to work. No feedback in the terminal though? I then added the line 

git remote add origin https://bitbucketusername@bitbucket.org/bitbucketusername/repositoryname.git

Replacing bitbucketusername with mine and repository name with mine. Attempting to push the files to the bitbucket repository resulted in this error however: 

error: --all can't be combined with refspecs

If you have any thoughts on why this may be the case I would appreciate it

  1. You should provide us the command you used to do your git push, but my guess is you did something like this:

    git push --all origin master

    As git is telling you, this can’t be used that way. Here you are asking git to push everything to origin but then you specify a branch (the <refspec>), so it is confusing.
    Either push all like this:

    git push --all origin

    or just your master branch like this:

    git push origin master
