Oh, that's pretty bad and I am investigating.

I was using a gitlab local clone to add as repository, which was added as GitButler project before. In my case, I wouldn't see an error message in the console immediately, but it seemed to have appeared a while later.

Removing .git/gitbutler would show the normal project-add dialogue, but would fail due to a dirty HEAD. Fixing this eventually made it pass, but it was a very frustrating experience, leaving me unable to say why it worked in the end :/.

Adding another project also failed like this though, with the same issues. Here is what worked.

  • On blank screen, close GitButler and reopen.
  • Now the normal project-addition dialogue shows. Click "Let's Go" - which fails again and doesn't move forward.
  • Close GitButler and reopen, now the newly added project shows up.
