Hey, no problem. A quick search seem to point to a recent change in git. It has affected a lot of other projects. I’m not at my computer so I can’t debug that right now but the permissions are set here for new repo created from the example. I’ll give it a look on Monday 👍.

@artivis I tried building from docker file, It worked for most part but failed to rename branch which is same as issue #44 which I see you opened.

wikmd    | stderr: 'error: refname refs/heads/master not found
wikmd    | fatal: Branch rename failed'

Alright, I’ll look into it. Thanks for the quick response, appreciate it!

Hi @belibug , the docker image has known issues. I’m working on it to resolve it. For now I would suggest running it native on your machine if possible to get the best experience.
