ERROR: Could not find branch foo.

is not too helpful as error message when I am on this very same branch. I guess `gt`'s problem is, that it is not a tracked branch, but the error doesn't say that.

I tried

gt c

and

gt down

got it. And the branch in question was created with regular git commands?

Yes, iirc I got to detached HEAD, merged in two other branches, then created branch

foo

and that was where I was standing

thanks, and have you tried running

gt track

?

Yes, same outcome

could you share logs of

gt track

please?

Let me see whether it is still in the scrollback buffer

interesting. let me do a bit more investigating here. as an aside, seems like youre a few versions behind on the CLI may be worth updating.

Well, I do it when it shouts at me and it didn't yet. 🙂

when you

merged in two other branches

this was done with vanilla git versus

gt

? and what is the trunk of

foo

at this point? one of the merged branches or something else? trying to understand how you got to where you are, purely from detached head a new branch works with

gt track

albeit that

gt ls

shows it needs restack immediately

Being on a tracked branch

git switch --detach
git merge vampire/mixin-spec-internals vampire/use-snapshot-id
git switch -c foo
# do some work
gt create groovy5 -m "Add Groovy 5 support (#2196)"
gt track
