I’m working in my local copy of a repository AAA, and I have added another local repository BBB as a remote bbb.
Specifically, I’ve tried adding it with each of
git remote add bbb ../../Path/to/BBB
git remote add bbb ../../Path/to/BBB/
git remote add bbb ../../Path/to/BBB/.git
However, with any of those, when I issue
git fetch bbb
it fails with error message
fatal: '../../Path/to/BBB' does not appear to be a git repository
fatal: Could not read from remote repository.
Please make sure you have the correct access rights
and the repository exists.
The given path really is the root directory of a repository: if I issue
cd ../../Path/to/BBB
git status
git quite happily tells me about the status there. What could I be doing wrong?
(Background: I’m following the instructions in this answer for merging BBB into AAA.)
