Carthage: Local Git Repos?

[jeeftor]

I thought it was working, but then I deleted my .carthage directory and ... NO MORE.

I'd like the ability to do:

git "~/testProj" "develop"

as an option for Cartfile

This works but you have to use a file URL

git "file:///Users/neilpa/code/project" "branch"

Ok so what am I doing wrong here?

My Cartfile is:
git "file:///Users/jstein/devel/GDL90/" "master"

I can type:

git clone file:///Users/jstein/devel/GDL90/

No problem.

When I try to use Carthage it reports:

fatal: Not a git repository (or any of the parent directories): .git

I'm running 0.6.3 installed from home-brew

Also I can do git rev-parse master in the GDL90 repo and it gives me:

f341a51c97c67f161e4e8ae2b023429fab7bdf27

Ok so I've fixed the problem - but I'm not exactly sure what it means.

I removed my /users/jstein/Library/Caches/org.carthage.CarthageKit directory and suddenly everything started working. I'm not sure how i got into this situation but I wonder if its a bug of some sort?

Carthage's repository cache probably still had a remote set up using the previous path. Deleting the caches folder would force it to re-clone, resolving the problem.

Sorry about the trouble! But it sounds like everything is good to go here now. :sparkles:

[jeeftor]

Is there a way to add an option to "reset cache" or something?

[jspahrsummers]

We'd rather not do that, and instead fix any issues that arise from using the repository cache. An explicit command to clear it seems like a workaround for a bug. :wink:

I don't know what the specific bug is here, or else we could look into it.
