How to fix error: failed to register repository with scalar in Git

# List all configured remotes
git remote -v

# If output shows no 'origin', that's the problem
# You might see something like:
# github  https://github.com/user/repo.git (fetch)
# github  https://github.com/user/repo.git (push)

# If you have no remotes at all, add origin
git remote add origin https://github.com/user/repo.git

# If you renamed origin to something else, rename it back
git remote rename github origin

# Or add origin as an alias to your existing remote
git remote add origin https://github.com/user/repo.git

# Try registering again
scalar register

# List all registered scalar repositories
scalar list

# Or check the Git config directly
git config --global --get-all scalar.repo

# Reconfigure all registered repos (auto-removes missing ones)
scalar reconfigure -a

# Remove a specific stale entry
git config --global --unset scalar.repo "/path/to/deleted/repo"

# Or edit the config file directly
git config --global --edit
# Find and remove lines like:
# [scalar]
#     repo = /path/to/deleted/repo

scalar register

# Should output your repository path
git rev-parse --show-toplevel

# If you get "not a git repository", you're in the wrong directory

# View global config location
git config --global --list --show-origin | head -1

# On Unix/macOS, check permissions
ls -la ~/.gitconfig

# Ensure you can write to it
touch ~/.gitconfig && echo "Write permission OK"

# If you're in a worktree, find the main repo
git worktree list

# Navigate to the main repository and register there
cd /path/to/main/repo
scalar register

# Verify repository integrity
git fsck

# If errors appear, you may need to repair or re-clone

# Navigate to your repository
cd /path/to/your/repo

# Unregister (ignore errors if not registered)
scalar unregister || true

# Check local scalar config
git config --local --list | grep scalar

# Remove local scalar settings if present
git config --local --unset-all scalar.repo 2>/dev/null

# Ensure origin exists
git remote -v

# Register with scalar
scalar register

# Verify registration
scalar list

# Register a specific directory
scalar register /path/to/your/repo

git --version
# Git 2.39+ includes many scalar improvements

brew update
brew upgrade git

# Using Git for Windows built-in updater
git update-git-for-windows

# Or download from https://git-scm.com/download/win

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:git-core/ppa
sudo apt update

# See if fsmonitor is enabled
git config core.fsmonitor

# Check fsmonitor hook version

# Clear FSMonitor data from the index
git update-index --no-fsmonitor
git update-index --fsmonitor

# Or disable and re-enable
git config core.fsmonitor false
git config core.fsmonitor true

# Check if watchman is running
watchman version

# Clear watchman state for this repo
watchman watch-del "$(git rev-parse --show-toplevel)"
watchman watch-project "$(git rev-parse --show-toplevel)"

# Disable external watchman hook
git config --unset core.fsmonitor

# Enable built-in FSMonitor (Git 2.37+)
