fatal error on repo init

[c3ph3us]

i did all steps u mention on main page and when i run repo init -u https://github.com/......git -b .... i get :

fatal: cannot make 'user dir here' /.repoconfig-esrlabs directory: system couldn't find directory

same for git clone then repo init

same with windows terminal or gitbash

Thank you for the issue!

So in the code we are at the line in the repo file

home_dot_repo = os.path.expanduser('~/.repoconfig-esrlabs')

, so "expanduser" is not working. The python reference https://docs.python.org/2/library/os.path.html states that the user's homedir "~" path on Windows is taken from HOME and/or USERPROFILE.

So, does the following return your user's home dir? (git bash)

echo $HOME
echo $USERPROFILE

The 2nd one returns empty for me, I have the same issue.

my exact error message. for what it's worth:

[~/code/harrow]$ repo init
error: in `init`: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/Users/leehambley/.repo/manifests/.git/HEAD'

@leehambley did you ever figure this issue out? I am encountering the same thing

I did not, sorry, these days there are a lot of 'repo' implementations - I'd bet that with WSL2 you can use most ant of them.
