I've installed Git on Rpi Arch via Pacman. It installed fine. I was able to add my details to the config and initialise a new repo. I also had no trouble adding files to the repo.
But the moment I try to make a initial commit (in the default Nano text editor), the command line wigs' out. When I try to kill the program with ctrl + c, the terminal breaks completely (endlessly printing out a "EoF" error message), and only stops once the computer is switched off...
Anyone familiar with this issue?
Was it nano which crash or git itself (in my opinion less probably).
Try to do some "dummy" commit e.g. inside your git repository, using -m comment argument, which embed commit message in commandline so that external text editor won't be called:
touch dummy.c
echo "dummy" > dummy.c
git add dummy.c
git commit -m "my dummy commit"
Then you can check if commit was OK (e.g. git log). If it is, it's probably nano that causes problems, not git.
