Git Staging Checkout Branch disabled

[kmank]

I have an issue where the Checkout branch field of the Clone Repository dialog is disabled.


Of course, it doesn't have a branch to pull from so nothing is pulled.

Can anyone help troubleshoot this?

Hello,

The branch combo should activate once you paste an URL to Git repository in the Repository URL field. If that doesn't happen, there's usually a red error label that appears above the buttons, in the dialog. DO you see such a error message?

You can also try starting Oxygen from the command line (using oxygen.bat or oxygen.sh). Open the Clone dialog again and paste the repository URL. Check the console for any errors.

Thanks for the reply, Alex. I guess I should have been more explicit.

I am aware of how this should work as I have been able to get it to work in a test environment VM. Essentially, placing the URL in the Repository URL field does not cause the Checkout branch field to activate (again, it works fine in the test environment). I also do not receive an error in the dialog at all.

Here is the exception that appears in the console:

Hopefully, this helps to troubleshoot further.

Hi,

I believe the http.sslVerify is disabled and because of that the exception is thrown. You can enable (which is the default mode) it by running:

Code: Select all

git config http.sslVerify "true"

I will add an issue to investigate and fix this situation on our side.

Best regards,
Alex

A bit of a Catch-22 there. In order to run the git config statement, I need to run it from a git directory. In order to be in a git directory, I need to clone the repository. Unless I am misunderstanding something?

Hello,

I think this is a global setting, that you are having. You can run that command from anywhere, assuming you have a command line git client. Alternatively, you can manually edit the global configuration file which is located at:

Code: Select all

C:\Users\{user}\.gitconfig

Best regards,
Alex

Changing the global setting did resolve the issue.

my .gitconfig file now has the following:
[http]
sslVerify = true


Thanks very much!

Nice detective work!
