I have a site that was building fine up until my most recent updates – I rarely update. The updates build find locally. I can push the updates to GitHub. Netlify is not deploying the updates from GitHub. The site builds cleanly locally via blogdown to build a hugo static site.
The log from Netlify deploy reads:
- “
failed to extract cache” - and
- “
git ref refs/heads/master does not exist or you do not have permissions.”
I am confused.
I read Netlifly documentation: [ build hooks, site deploys, troubleshooting tips, Manage build dependencies, etc. ]. I re-red “Blogdown + Netlify” documentation, and compared this non-deploying instance to a currently building (working/updating) instance.
I’m drawing blanks. Can you please help.?
The Error message at Netlfy > Deploy is…

My non-deploying site exists in a previously deployed state and was recently being automatically deployed from git push to the associated GitHub repository
The GitHub Webhooks page looks like this:
More Problems ???
At one point I was comparing this deploy to yet another different Netlify build that does not use Hugo. At that point I tried to institute build hooks – this may have been a mistake. I have since removed the build hooks. There is still a deploy key that I cannot seem to delete:
Can you please help me reset my github hugo site to build and deploy at Netlify when I trigger with a git push from my LFS?
Thanks for reading this far.
