Git project mismatch warning

Problem Description

A “Git project mismatch” warning occurs when the project field in your activestate.yaml does not match the project you are activating. The most common cause of this warning is when activating a forked project where the original project has an associated git repository with an activestate.yaml in it.

Potential Solutions

After performing any of these solutions please try to activate your project again. If you already have an activestate.yaml from a previous attempt you may want to delete it first.

Commit a change to git

Commit a change to the linked git repository updating the project field in the activestate.yaml to use your forked project’s URL.

Remove linked git repository

In your project settings on the ActiveState Dashboard remove the linked git repository from your forked project.

Fork the linked git repository and update project file

Fork the linked git repository and change the project field in the activestate.yaml to use your forked project’s URL. Finally, update your settings on the ActiveState Dashboard to use your new git repository.
