Any help to clear this up is much appreciated.

Do you have a file in your commit which has this name?
Or is this the path of your Git repo?

I’m rather new to this, so I don’t know which. I was committing the files at least once a day on my initial run with Wappler and was using the defaults for (I suppose) a local repository.

I then decided to recreate the site with Docker installed and as a PHP site instead of a JS site.

This is what I see on the GIT side:

I still see the previous commits on the Wappler side:

The is the path to the remote repository

I’m in the “color me confused” stage of this part of my learning curve . . .

Looks like you have created new repo with read me. Does not work well with Wappler.
Best option would be to delete the repo and create it again on Github, without any files. You can use the same name.

Once that is done, click on the green <code> button in Github page and copy the HTTPS path from there.
Then, in your Wappler remote repositories, remove the one that you have just added, and add another with simpler name like “github” or “origin”, and the path that you have copied in above step.

The commits that you have been doing so far have all been local. Once you add remote repo, you just need to click Push icon and it should work.

Thanks.

I’ll give it a try later today (it just rolled over midnight here and my body is saying “no mas.”

Yes to connect a new remote repository from GitHub for example to existing Wappler local repository, the remote repository should be completely empty first.

When creating a new repo on GitHub it is empty initially just don’t choose the option to add readme.

If the remote repository is not empty first, there will be all king of conflicts trying to sync. While you just want to copy you local one to remote and sync from there.

So best is to delete the remote GitHub repo that now has just a readme only anyway, create a new fully empty this time. And the connect to it from Wappler.
