How to deploy using "ghpages+https" lektor method on windows? Getting the dollowing error:

I've been relentlessly trying to solve the following problem while deploying a webpage for a friend to ghpages using lektor. Yet i'm always getting an error similar to:

λ lektor deploy production
Deploying to production
  Build cache: C:\Users\user\AppData\Roaming\Lektor\Cache\builds\6edf4ce4c35ce53180e6c7f3b6a081ae

  bash: /dev/tty: No such device or address

  fatal: could not read Username for 'https://github.com': Invalid argument
Done!

My configuration is currently set as follows:

[project]
name = repo

[servers.production]
target = ghpages+https://user/user.github.io
user = user
password = pass

Another attempt to solve this is typing the following:

lektor deplot --username user --password password production

rendering the following result:

Deploying to production

  fatal: bad config line 12 in file .git/config

If there is something wrong with my setup please let me know.

Solution

  • When looking at:

    Fetching origin
  fatal: Couldn't find remote ref refs/heads/master

    You could try and push first a commit from your local repo to your remote.
    Then try again a lektor deploy production
