I am using Sourcetree and PuTTY to try to make a server copy (according to this guide).

I have triple checked that all links are correct, all spelling is correct, and that the two empty and initialized repos, site_hub.git + www, read “ref: refs/heads/master” when using cat HEADS. Sourcetree did not show any errors. However, whenever I attempt to use “git remote show hub” (after adding git remote add hub ../site_hub.git)… this is the following output:

git remote show hub
* remote hub
  Fetch URL: ../site_hub.git
  Push  URL: ../site_hub.git
  HEAD branch: (unknown)
  Remote branch:
    main new (next fetch will store in remotes/hub)

git branch returns no result,and git status returns

On branch master

No commits yet

nothing to commit (create/copy files and use "git add" to track)

I’ve tried creating a new branch, but it seems like I need to be pulling one from Sourcetree so I can have the files copied over?

Essentially, I’m trying to clone the origin to my own git, site_hub.git.. if I’m understanding this guide correctly.

Instead, I’m seeing the error of HEADS:(unknown).
