Error arose when using Pkg.add() in Julia

I have a problem when trying to add a package in the terminal using Pkg.add, the terminal gives me the following error message:

fatal:your current branch 'master' does not have any commits yet
Error: failed process: Process(`git' --git-dir=````)

How do I fix it?

I've had the same issue with Gadfly. Installation failed and I couldn't load nor reinstall the package.

After looking at the documentation. Turns out there is a cache folder (with the same name as the package) hidden in Users\my_username\.julia\v0.4\.cache\ I removed this folder and the package installed fine from Julia running Pkg.add("Gadfly"). Try removing the folder and install the package again.

Please give more information about where this package comes from. Github? Your hard drive? A zip file?

If this is one of your packages, just create a commit. 

git add .
git commit -m 'First commit'

This should work.
