Laravel Forge: fatal: couldn't find remote ref refs/heads

On Laravel Forge I checked out a branch and deleted it from the git server by accident. Now I can not fetch and can not switch branch. Fun fact Forge tells me it switched while it did not:

forge@myserver:~/myserver.de$ git fetch 

fatal: couldn't find remote ref refs/heads/mybranch

fatal: the remote end hung up unexpectedly

This can be fixed be open and edit .git/config

In remote section replace the checked out branch mybranch with * two times:

[remote "origin"]

    url = git@bitbucket.org:me/mygit

--  fetch = +refs/heads/mybranch:refs/remotes/origin/mybranch 

++  fetch = +refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/origin/*

Save and quite.

Now you can run "git fetch" and "git checkout main".

I also deleted the old branch: git branch -d mybranch

Neato lidar laser not spinning

 

My Neato was starting and stopping but it did not move.

Turned out the lidar in the tower was not spinning. You can find a guide how to fix it on YouTube. In the video he uses an old motor from a CD Player he had. If you need to buy one you might be lost. I searched a long time. You can use a "solar" motor but they might break soon again.

I replaced it with RF-300FA-12350 DVD Player Motor from ebay (3,99€).
12V, Size: 24.4 x 12.4 mm with 19.4 mm shaft.

It is important to revers polarity. I cut of the old motor from the plug and soldered the red wire to the black one.

Also if you need to replace the side brush rubber, you can use a 25 x 2 mm seal. 3,50 € for 10 pieces.
