This problem started happening after I upgraded to 0.11.0-beta

My workaround was to build abra from source (using main branch) and using that for app new command then continuing to use 0.11.0-beta for other operations as normal

Error example:

abra app new minio -d                                                    
DEBU <cli/run.go:137> abra version: 0.11.0-beta, commit: 1c4abcf1, lang: en
DEBU <git/branch.go:99> successfully checked out refs/heads/main in /Users/ammarhussein/.abra/catalogue
FATA <internal/validate.go:25> non-fast-forward update

The problem is not limited to minio recipe, few other recipes including keycloak and writefreely experienced the same issue when I tested them out

@ammaratef45 does it help to manually sync the local catalogue?

cd ~/.abra/catalogue && git pull --rebase && git push

This happens to me if I run abra catalogue generate and then make a commit in the catalogue repo and don't push. Unless something like that happened to you as well then this seems like a pretty gnarly bug!

And either way abra could probably suggest a fix in this situation.

Huh, I got CONFLICT (content): Merge conflict in recipes.json, I deleted the catalogue and let abra get a fresh copy of it for me and it is all good now <3 (maybe we can make this a recovery step? prompt the user for consent and deleting the catalogue repo then cloning it again)

Hmmm interesting yeh. I would imagine this has not much to do with abra and more to do with #669 (comment). And yes, in general, the simplest fix (if you don't have unstaged/uncommitted changes) is always to just delete it and have abra clone it again.

I'd rather slowly try to migrate any catalogue functionality away from daily operations of abra than patch up this kind of stuff with more hard to test interactive prompts. This is a mid/long-term thing.

I think for now, we can intervene into the git plumbing functions in abra and try to give a better error message.
