Git submodule add error



I want to add a submodule on a freshly created git repository and I get an error. If I execute the same command again it succeeds.


C:>mkdir MyRepo

C:>cd MyRepo

C:MyRepo>git init
Initialized empty Git repository in C:/MyRepo/.git/

C:MyRepo>git submodule add -b refs/heads/master C:MySubmodulesLibraryMySubmodule MySubmodule
Cloning into 'C:/MyRepo/MySubmodule'...
done.
fatal: 'origin/refs/heads/master' is not a commit and a branch 'refs/heads/master' cannot be created from it
Unable to checkout submodule 'MySubmodule'

C:MyRepo>git submodule add -b refs/heads/master C:MySubmodulesLibraryMySubmodule MySubmodule
Adding existing repo at 'MySubmodule' to the index
warning: LF will be replaced by CRLF in .gitmodules.
The file will have its original line endings in your working directory.



Git version: 2.17.1.windows.1


2.17.1.windows.1



I'd like to know what am I doing wrong and what can I do to make this operation succeed the first time I execute it.



*This question comes as a follow up of a Git Extensions bug where the first time you try to add a submodule it fails but the second time it succeeds. These are the commands issued by Git Extensions when adding a submodule; however, the same behavior occurs when issuing them from the command line. I don't know if this behavior is expected from Git (and the problem is with Git Extensions issuing the wrong commands) or this is a Git bug.





Why are you using refs/heads/master?

refs/heads/master





Because that is what Git Extensions does.

Try to use


git submodule add -b master C:MySubmodulesLibraryMySubmodule MySubmodule



-b is the simple branch name.


-b

Clash Royale CLAN TAG #URR8PPP Firebase Auth - with Email and Password - Check user already registered I want to check when a user attempts to signup with createUserWithEmailAndPassword() in Firebase user Authentication method, this user is already registered with my app. createUserWithEmailAndPassword() 8 Answers 8 To detect whether a user with that email address already exists, you can detect when the call to createUserWithEmailAndPassword () fails with auth/email-already-in-use . I see that @Srinivasan just posted an answer for this. createUserWithEmailAndPassword () auth/email-already-in-use Alternatively, you can detect that an email address is already used by calling fetchSignInMethodsForEmail() (previous called fetchProvidersForEmail() ). fetchSignInMethodsForEmail() fetchProvidersForEmail() When the user trying to create an user with same email address, the task response will be "Response: The email address is already in use by another account." mFirebas...

Clash Royale CLAN TAG #URR8PPP Dynamically update html content plain JS So I have a script bound in my index.html, which literally has to fetch an array of jsons from an api, then dynamically update my page when get response. But as a result I'm getting an as the only update of my page. here is my script fetch(url) .then((resp) => resp.json()) .then((resp) => resp.results.forEach(item => fetch(item.url) .then((response)=> response.json()) .then((response) => pokeArr.push(response)) .catch(console.log) ) ).catch(console.log) const filler = () => if(!pokeArr) return 0 pokeArr.map((i,j)=> return `<tr>$i.name</tr>` ) const pokeindex = () => document.getElementById('a').appendChild(document.createElement(filler())) pokeindex() When I'm consoling it, I can see in the console all the responses I get, so I'm at least doing the fetching part right.

Creating a leaderboard in HTML/JS

Clash Royale CLAN TAG #URR8PPP Creating a leaderboard in HTML/JS I'm trying to create a top 10 leaderboard, for now, I've only implemented 3 players, but I'm coming across an issue. My script doesn't seem to be outputting anything on webpage. The purpose of the script is to compare 3 arrays, player1,player2,and player3 solely based off of score. Which is the 2nd index of each array. I want the script to list the players in order of highest score. This method doesn't really seem to be efficient, especially when I'll have to add 7 more players. Could someone suggest perhaps an easier approach, as well as show me why my script wont output the info. Here's the JS function leaderboard() { var player1 = name:"Thomas",date:"01/23/18",score:"201"; var player2 = name:"Michael",date:"03/24/17",score:"943"; var player3 = Name:"Lisa",date:"06/04/18",Score:"79"; if(player1[2]...
