No git-sync repositories configured in workspace

Error message

No git-sync repositories configured in workspace

What it means

`selectRepository` is the shared git-sync repository picker in the windmill CLI. It throws this when the workspace has zero git-sync repositories, so there is nothing to select for the requested operation (pull/push/etc.).

Solutions

1. Create a git-sync repository in the Windmill UI (Workspace → Git sync) first
2. Verify you are targeting the intended workspace (`wmill workspace list` / `--workspace` flag)
3. Check that your token's workspace matches the one containing the repositories

Example fix

// before
wmill git-sync pull  # against empty workspace
// No git-sync repositories configured in workspace
// after: create the repo in Workspace Settings → Git Synchronization, then
wmill git-sync pull

const repos = await client.listGitSyncRepositories(); // or check config before running
if (!repos || repos.length === 0) {
  console.error('No git-sync repositories in this workspace; create one in Workspace Settings first.');
  process.exit(1);
}

try {
  await runGitSyncCommand();
} catch (e) {
  if (e.message === 'No git-sync repositories configured in workspace') {
    console.error('Target workspace has no git-sync repos. Check workspace selection and create a repo in the UI.');
  } else throw e;
}

When it happens

Trigger: Running a git-sync command (e.g. repository auto-selection via `selectAndLogRepository`) against a workspace where no git-sync repositories have been created.

Common situations: Pointing the CLI at a fresh/empty workspace or the wrong workspace/URL; repositories not yet set up in the UI; credentials landing on a workspace without repos.
