Repository ${repository} not found

Error message

Repository ${repository} not found

What it means

Lookup miss in selectAndLogRepository: an explicit repository argument was given (matched against git_repo_resource_path, with and without the $res: prefix) but no configured repository in the local git-sync config matches it. The input at fault is the repository identifier passed on the command line versus the repositories list in gitsync-settings config; usually a typo, a missing $res: prefix form, or the repository simply not being configured locally.

Solutions

1. List configured repositories (wmill gitsync-settings show or read the local config) and use the exact git_repo_resource_path
2. Try the resource path with and without the $res: prefix — the matcher accepts both forms, so a real mismatch is likely a typo
3. Add the repository to the git-sync config first if it isn't configured yet
