Can't push after BFG cleanup

[Seth van Heijster]

Hello,

I have a repo that I want to migrate to Git LFS using BFG Repo-Cleaner. I followed the instructions here:

https://confluence.atlassian.com/bitbucket/use-bfg-to-migrate-a-repo-to-git-lfs-834233484.html

And everything works but then when I try to push the <repo-name>.git I get an error that says it failed to find a certain file and can't push. Any ideas?

Thanks in advance

Hello Seth and welcome to the Community!

Assuming all the pre-migration steps were confirmed and completed before attempting you migration everything should have gone through. However, as you stated, this is not the case, and you’re presented with an error. Without knowing the exact error message, it will be a shot in the dark to find a root cause on why the migration failed for you. With this said, could you please re-attempt the migration and let us know the exact error message that is displayed? Screenshots work just fine for this.

Additionally, there are multiple reported issues on the BFG-Repo-Cleaner project within GitHub. You can find all reported issues which may be related to your error at https://github.com/rtyley/bfg-repo-cleaner/issues.

We look forward to hearing back what the error message is so we can help find a solution.

Regards,

Hi Stephen,

Thanks for the quick response! Funnily enough I tried the migration again and the second time it worked without any errors. Still not sure why it gave me an error the first time. I can say that the file that it couldn't find in the initial error was a file in the Assets folder of the Unity project. Other than that I'm just glad it worked the second time around!

Cheers,

Seth
