I am attempting an initial push of my Git repository from Egit (Eclipse Git) to GitHub. Unfortunately I am getting the following error:
error: refusing to create funny ref 'HEAD' remotely
I set both the source and destination ref to 'HEAD'
What does this error message mean?
I fixed this by selecting master (refs/heads/master) as the source ref instead. Egit then automatically set the destination ref to master as well. I suppose that this command tells git to create the master branch, while selecting HEAD either tries to create a branch called HEAD or tries to push to the current (non-existing) remote HEAD.
