This shows up when the .git repo is already initialised . In your case you can find it in the path /Users/brad.barrish/bradbarrish-blog/.

Did you already have a folder named bradbarrish-blog before?

[bradbarrish]

Nope, though I did run it once before with the same result.

Try running git remote rm origin in /Users/brad.barrish/bradbarrish-blog/ and then re-run this script. I believe it failed due to some reason in the first pass and giving this error on the next run.

[mathieudutour]

We could perhaps check at the beginning if the folder already exists, and if so ask if we should continue. If we continue, then we can just ignore errors on git init and git remote add. And we should perhaps change the commit message to not be First commit.

[bradbarrish]

I ran git remote rm origin in /Users/brad.barrish/bradbarrish-blog/ and then re-ran the script.

[mathieudutour]

ah so that was the first error probably. The error comes from the fact that you haven't really used git yet (haven't tested that scenario sorry).

So to fix, run

git config --global user.email "[email protected]"

then

git config --global user.name "Your Name"

and then

git remote rm origin

and it should be all good. Sorry for the confusing error

[bradbarrish]

New machine, which explains that. Successfully got through that step, but the deploy failed.

They have no plans to   change this in the future, which is great. According to them, they do not coll  ect, scan or use data in G Suite Core Services for advertising purposes. While   I don’t feel awesome about Google from a privacy standpoint, but I’m willing   to give a little to get the convenience and interoperability with devices and   other services I use. Once I moved all of my documents to Google Drive, I crea  ted a single folder on my iCloud Drive and dropped them all in there for redun  dancy. I also plan to back them up on a physical drive. `}

You can also select a single or multiple note  s and export just the file attachments. This was particularly helpful to me si  nce, again, most of what I had in Evernote were PDFs. I already pay for G Suit  e so I settled on using Google Drive to store PDFs. G Suite is Google’s paid s  ervice (I pay $5/month) and differs form their free services you probably use.   The great thing about G Suite, aside from being able to use my own domain, is   the lack of advertising and data collection by Google. They have no plans to   change this in the future, which is great. According to them, they do not coll  ect, scan or use data in G Suite Core Services for advertising purposes. While   I don’t feel awesome about Google from a privacy standpoint, but I’m willing   to give a little to get the convenience and interoperability with devices and   other services I use. Once I moved all of my documents to Google Drive, I crea  ted a single folder on my iCloud Drive and dropped them all in there for redun  dancy. I also plan to back them up on a physical drive. `}

So I think that a different issue. It's because of a weird white space in the title and in the middle of the article It's because of an italic link ([_label_](url)) It's because there is a draft with some links that aren't transformed to markdown (eg. still <a href=”https://bear.app”>Bear</a>), and in mdx, // is a comment so it skips the end of the line which contain the closing tag. I'll try to see what's the issue but it's unrelated.

Got it. Thanks for all the help and patience. The site now seems to be working and looks great. 🙏

close this issue

[mathieudutour]

No let's keep it open and do this:

• check at the beginning if the folder already exists, and if so ask if we should continue
• If we continue, then we can just ignore errors on git init and git remote add
• we should also perhaps change the commit message to not be First commit.

@bradbarrish So did you remove the drafts from your medium blog?
(i tried creating a new repo, and redoing it all, still getting the same error)

[bradbarrish]

I believe so, yes. Will confirm and let you know.

So the deploy to Netlify breaks when it gets empty date or any other field. The docs say that we can keep it empty for drafts until we publish it.

Ah interesting. Could you open another issue? It’s a bit different from this one
