From: Ran Shalit Date: Fri, 20 Jun 2014 09:30:44 GMT Subject: git gui - Linux Message-ID: Hello, I am trying to initialize remote git and push complete folder files using git-gui. I'm Doing exactly the same sequence in windows with Git Gui works perfectly. But when doing remote->add in ubuntu, name: test Location: /home/ubuntu/test.git I get the following error: fatal: GIT_WORK_TREE (or --work-tree=) not allowed without specifying GIT_DIR (or --git-dir=) Should I set only GIT_DIR=/home/ubuntu/test.git? And after doing that, repeat the remote->add step giving the name and the same folder /home/ubuntu/test.git again ? Thanks, Ran
