Mac OSX: Checkout Failed

Ben Atherton

Hi All,

I am experiencing an issue when cloning remote repositories, I am getting the error "clone succeeded but checkout failed" I am trying to clone into a Mac OSX network share where I have full read and write permissions (so the path is /Network/Servers/myserver.local/Users/myusername/Documents/myproject). I am experiencing this both when using SourceTrees embedded GIT as well as system GIT.

Any help with this will be grately appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Git users have repeatedly had difficulty with storing "local" repositories on network shares. It is recommended to keep your git repository on actual local storage, and add any other locations that need it as remotes that you can push to.
