git add issue

[ashokkumarsoliyappan]

Hi ,
I am new to Python and Git. Found this library to run Git commands using Python. I am trying to clone an already created repository on Google Cloud to my local directory on windows. and i try to add the repository by using the command
repo.git.add("automationPuml")

but i'm getting the error

    raise GitCommandError(command, status, stderr_value, stdout_value)
git.exc.GitCommandError: Cmd('git') failed due to: exit code(128)
  cmdline: git add automationPuml
  stderr: 'fatal: pathspec 'automationPuml' did not match any files'

It's difficult to provide a concise answer given I don't truly understand the question. However, under the assumption that you are not trying to add a submodule (i.e. 'repository') to the local clone using git add but instead try to add a file, then the error message indicates that automationPuml does not exist on disk and thus could not be added.

It's exactly the same result as running git add automationPuml on the command-line, since you are running git directly using GitPython as proxy.

I am closing the issue as it's not representing anything that could be fixed, and further comments are welcome on the closed issue as well.
