How to open a repository?

[mbnoimi]

I want to integrate Gitfourchette in Thunar file manager so I created a custom action as following:

/usr/bin/flatpak run --branch=stable --arch=x86_64 --command=gitfourchette --file-forwarding org.gitfourchette.gitfourchette %f

Unfortunately it doesn't work fine and throw to me this error:

I tried to call it from the terminal but I encounter same issue:

My repository is valid (git-cola works fine)

$ git status

In your logs, it looks like the path that is being passed is a subdirectory within the repo. In flutter-test/src, I'm assuming the root of the repo is flutter-test.

Currently, when launching GitFourchette from the command line, you should pass the root of the repo; files or folders within the repo won't work. If you execute your Thunar action on the root of your repo, it should work.

Still, it would be useful to be able to pass arbitrary paths within the repo (like I'm assuming you did), so I'll fix this in the next release.

This should be fixed in v1.2.0! Let me know if it doesn't work for you.

Works. Thanks
