Description
Summary
When using libgit2sharp to push an initial commit that includes a .github folder (with valid contents), the push fails silently — no error is thrown, and the remote is not updated. If the folder is renamed (e.g., to github), the push succeeds.
Steps to Reproduce
- Create a new local repo
- Add a
.github/workflows/ci.ymlfile - Commit
- Attempt to push to a GitHub remote (with or without authentication)
Observed Behavior
repo.Network.Push(...)does not throw- Remote is unchanged
- If
.githubis renamed, push succeeds as expected
Expected Behavior
Push should either:
- Succeed and update the remote, or
- Throw an exception if push fails
Notes
- Using latest
LibGit2Sharpand .NET 6+ - Changing
.githubto any other folder name works
Environment
- LibGit2Sharp version: 0.31.0
- OS: Windows
