The host for grass source code has changed. When I issue a 'git pull'
request it fails:
$ git pull
Your configuration specifies to merge with the ref 'refs/heads/master'
from the remote, but no such ref was fetched.
What do I need to change here, and where do I change it, to pull changes to
my local installation?
TIA,
Rich
Hi Rich,
This is likely due to the default branch name changing to 'main' (instead of 'master'). I documented the steps for the MapServer community at https://github.com/MapServer/MapServer/wiki/Renamed-Default-Branch
But you can likely just issue the following commands in your local machine:
git branch -m master main
git fetch origin
git branch -u origin/main main
git remote set-head origin -a
(maybe Vashek wrote more details in a previous message here, but this is my input, ha)

Jeff,
I thought it was a name change but my use of git is pretty well limited to
creating new repos for projects and updating them as needed. I have the
pro-git book but wouldn't know how to find what is needed because I'm far
from a git expert.
But you can likely just issue the following commands in your local
machine:git branch -m master main
git fetch origin
git branch -u origin/main main
git remote set-head origin -a
That worked well. Thank you very much.
Stay well,
Rich
