    <p>I can't answer the question of how to get the status if no commits have been made, but I can try and explain why it's blowing up.</p> <p>The Git::Status class works by doing a git diff of HEAD against the repository. In Git "HEAD" refers to the current branch &amp; working tree.</p> <p>Since a branch is basically a pointer to a particular commit (the branch pointer gets moved along the history as new commits are made) no branches truly exist (not even master) until there is a commit to point it at. If there are no branches, HEAD doesn't really exist either. Therefore referring to it in a git diff throws an error.</p> <p>This is a great visual guide to understanding HEAD/branches/commits: <a href="http://marklodato.github.com/visual-git-guide/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://marklodato.github.com/visual-git-guide/</a></p> <p>So in conclusion, it seems that trying to do anything in a git repo which has no commits is somewhat meaningless. Of course, to do a commit, you need a file. So you probably need to:</p> <pre><code>#gem install git require 'rubygems' require 'git' #Create an empty file FileUtils.touch 'README' g = Git.init g.add('README') g.commit('First Commit') g.status </code></pre> <hr> <p>If you want to check if a file has been added to the repo:</p> <pre><code>#gem install git require 'rubygems' require 'git' #Create an empty file FileUtils.touch 'README' g = Git.init g.ls_files.has_key?("README") #False g.add("README") g.commit("First Commit") g.ls_files.has_key?("README") #True </code></pre>

    1. COThanks. I understand it now, I do not like it though. I think it should handle things like this a little more gracefully, for command line git it is ok as it is outputting information, but for a ruby command to just fail is annoying. I was trying to do a status to see if my file had been added, which I can not do until it has been added! It is for a script version controlling only 1 file.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
