Publishing my first package: "Object is not a commit object"

New to Julia

Hello,
I have finally managed to set-up the documentation and CI testing for a package I want to publish to metadata.

I was about to do the final steps of the package and I am getting an error I do not know how to handle.

PkgDev.register("DynamicalBilliards")

I would really appreciate any help!

I would strongly suggest using AttoBot instead.

3

I have already tagged about 5 release versions though. Will it still work?

I think it will only publish the tag you specify in AttoBot. Just give it a try and see what happens! Can always be undone / fixed later.

It turns out everything worked fine! Thanks for the suggestion!!!
