I'm trying to push a local project to an empty GitHub repository (created only minutes ago), but I'm getting some errors.
I created my GitHub repository following the instructions here, and made my initial local git commit:
git add .
git commit -m "Initial commit" (this was successful)
git remote add origin https://github.com/[name]/[repo].git
git remote -v
Everything worked fine through that point, but next I tried this:
git push -u origin master
And got back the following stdout:
Counting objects: 8, done.
Delta compression using up to 8 threads.
error: garbage at end of loose object 'b3872d786a175232c101cca4bbd8f2cddde5622d'

fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly
fatal: write error: Bad file descriptor

This is the first time I've tried to push a local project to GitHub, and I can't seem to find a solution to my problem on GitHub's site or StackOverflow. Anybody know what to do here? Running OS X.
SOLUTION: Fairly simple fix for me - I just had to go up to the parent directory and rm -rf .git from there, too. Seems like a bit of a hack-y way to resolve it, and I'm still not quite sure what I did to cause the issue in the first place...
If anyone else runs into the same problem please be sure to pass it along here!
