What the system is telling you is that:
while the code of the projects is in your image/changes, the system does not know (it cannot invent because
you could running it on the moon or mars for example) where are the git repositories where it could find the 
working copies and the versionned elements of such packages. 

I think that the status is pretty clear. 
So if you want to load code via git from your new machine there is no magic.
Git is a distributed versioning system so you have to clone your repo locally and tell it to Pharo. 
Now iceberg is quite cool because if you do repair it will 
- clone 
- configure your working so that it correspond to the code version in your image
- probably fetching some version.


In fact there is no difference between your mac talking to github and another repository.
You have local and remotes + pharo (another kind of local). 

So Pharo alone can work but it cannot guess where you decided to store your local git repositories. 

I hope that it helps.

Hi everyone.
 
I have a simple talk, or so I thought. I am trying to port a Mac Pharo/Seaside project to either a Windows 2012 server or to a Windows 10 laptop. I have set up my git credentials and that all works fine. However, when I install either 8.0 or 9.0 on my Windows 10 laptop it shows he following
Repositories   --  status
Pharo                    Local repository missing
Pharo-spec2                       Local repository missing
Pharo-newtools                                Local repository missing
Iceberg                 Local repository missing
Libgit-pharo-bindings                     Local repository missing
tonel                      Local repository missing
 
What on earth is going on here as installing Pharo on my Mac was seamless. I have to get the project onto a Windows machine as these are the only servers that I have. I really can���t be this difficult, can it?
 
How do I get out of this mess, given that that is a clean install?
