My modulepath has a git repo where I track all my changes to a repo on github,

[root@puppetmaster3 code]# pwd

/etc/puppetlabs/code

[root@puppetmaster3 code]# ls -a

.  ..  environments  .git  .gitmodules  hieradata  hiera.yaml

[root@puppetmaster3 code]# 

puppet-code.git is also there, 

/opt/puppetlabs/server/data/puppetserver/filesync/client

[root@puppetmaster3 client]# ls -a

.  ..  puppet-code  puppet-code.git

[root@puppetmaster3 client]# 

Why is it asking me to delete my /etc/puppetlabs/code directory?

[mike r]

figured out the problem, was missing a .git file in my /etc/puppetlabs/code/environments/production path

[root@puppetmaster3 production]# pwd

/etc/puppetlabs/code/environments/production

[root@puppetmaster3 production]# ll
