whenever I do searchsploit -u I get this error?

[i] Git pull’ing
POST git-upload-pack (317 bytes)
fatal: couldn’t find remote ref master

[-] Git conflict
fatal: empty string is not a valid pathspec. please use . instead if you meant to match all paths
fatal: empty string is not a valid pathspec. please use . instead if you meant to match all paths
error: cannot open ‘.git/FETCH_HEAD’: Permission denied
POST git-upload-pack (317 bytes)
fatal: couldn’t find remote ref master

I tried doing git config --global init.defaultBranch main but to no avail.

how to reproduce:

sudo pacman -S exploitdb
searchsploit -u

or

git clone https://gitlab.com/exploit-database/exploitdb.git /opt/exploit-database
ln -sf /opt/exploit-database/searchsploit /usr/local/bin/searchsploit
cp -n /opt/exploit-database/.searchsploit_rc ~/
searchsploit -u

I can’t see where is the solution in this thread

empty string is not a valid pathspec
