Cloning pyRevit extension

[moshe59 (Moshe Avraham)]

Hi Guys

This is my first thread here and i am totally new to pyRevit so please spare me

Under “pyRevit_4.8.13.23182_admin_signed.exe” which is installed on our all workstations
when calling:

pyrevit clone XxxxxXxx --dest=“C:\pyRevit\XxxxxXxx”

i am getting the following error:

Error: Clone with repo path “C:\pyRevit\XxxxXxx\XxxxXxx” already exists. (pyRevitLabs.Common.PyRevitException)

XxxxxXxx is my pyRevit <clone_name>

please help me solve this error

this week i also tried the new version “pyRevit_CLI_4.8.14.24016_admin_signed.exe” but this did not solve the problem

Thanks in Advance

Welcome @moshe59
Don’t worry, you still have a few trial before anybody gets mean

What about removing the content of the c:/pyRevit folder before cloning.

But from what you are saying I understand that you already have pyRevit installed, so why cloning a new install? What is the purpose?

[moshe59 (Moshe Avraham)]

first thank you for your help

i did remove c:\pyRevit - this doesn’t solve the error

the clone is done to our office application (pyRevit.extension) for revit which locate on this site
“https://bitbucket.org/xxxxx/xxxxx.git”

the pyRevit call is done from power shell script

[Jean-Marc (Jean-Marc Couffin)]

Let me rephrase.

1. Are you willing to clone and install a full fledged pyRevit

2. or trying to add your own extension/toolbar from bit bucket. The command is:

pyrevit extend

Add the -h as an argument to see the syntax.

The next call i have is:
pyrevit extend ui XxxxxxXxx “https://bitbucket.org/xxxxxxxx/xxxxxxxx.git” --dest="C:\pyRevit\XxxxxxXxx "

After that, i have 2 more calls:
pyrevit extensions paths add “C:\pyRevit\XxxxxXxx.extension”

and

pyrevit attach XxxxxXxxx 277 --installed

and this completes the install

the pyRevit.extension Auther is external, he often update his application so we can download it from bitbucket.
