Fatal: Not a gitflow-enabled repo yet. Please run 'git flow init' first.

can any one help me?

Solution

  • You have to init the git flow on your local repo.

    GitFlow are local scripts on your machine and each repository has to have teh metadata (in the config) to use it.

    simply run :

    # launch the git flow wizard
git flow init


# Use git flow with default values
git flow init -d

    And you are set to go.
