I am trying to run the following script on a OpenSuse machine:

OUR_REPO=$(git branch | grep "*" | awk '{print $2}')
THE_REPO_THAT_OURS_IS_BASED_ON="origin/$OUR_REPO"
GIT_COMMIT=$(git merge-base $OUR_REPO $THE_REPO_THAT_OURS_IS_BASED_ON)
echo "$OUR_REPO"
echo "$THE_REPO_THAT_OURS_IS_BASED_ON"
echo "$GIT_COMMIT"

and I get the following error:

fatal: Not a valid object name release/VERSION?
release/VERSION
origin/release/VERSION

The interesting part is that, if I am running each of those commands directly into the terminal everything works properly.

Also, if I am trying to run this script via my local machine with Fedora, I don't have any kind of issue.

The command that I use to run the script: bash my_script.sh

On the OpenSuse machine, if has any importance, I am using zsh.

Does any of you know what I am doing wrong?

    Do you really get the error message with the script shown in the question? The script has 6 lines while the error refers to line 8. The \r might mean that the script has DOS line endings which should be converted to UNIX line endings. Did you create the script with a Windows text editor?

  • You also forgot to quote some of the parameter expansions. See When is double-quoting necessary? (in short, it's needed in most Bourne-like shells, less so in zsh).

  • @Bodo I've updated the error, the \r is was because of an empty line.

    @Mircea, there's normally no CR characters in Unix text files. If you had one in the empty line, you likely add one on every line because the file was created on Windows. Run dos2unix on the file to fix it.

    @Mircea Please add all requested information to the question and format it properly instead of using comments for this purpose. If you fixed the errors, show the fixed script in your question.
