If you are using GIT as your version control and you attempt to do a `git pull` and get a “fatal: Where do you want to fetch from today?” message, you need to do either of the following:

# Specify the remote repo
mkdir repo
cd repo && git init
git pull git@github.com:user/repo.git

# Or
# Clone the repo
mkdir repo
cd repo && git clone git pull git@github.com:user/repo.git .
git pull

Linux – Ruby – Capistrano – GIT – No Such File or Directory – Errno::ENOENT

If you are running capistrano to execute commands on another server and get a message that looks like:

No such file or directory - /usr/local/git/bin/git ls-remote git@github.com:user/repo.git master (Errno::ENOENT)

Be sure the user whom you are logging in as through capistrano has access to `git`. To test whether the user has access, ssh as the user and type `git`, if you get a bash error, then set the path in the user’s ~/.bash_profile. Otherwise you should see a list of git options.
