Hello,
Many apologies, but this week caught up with me, and I didn't get round to
changing the repository names. But I *will* do it on Monday 8th July.
If you need to update a local repository, Guilherme pointed out that it
might be a good idea to double check what you have before update the
origin, with
$ git remote -v
For example, if you have a fork of cf-conventions called 'origin', then
the above command might return ...
origin git at github.com:castelao/cf-conventions.git (fetch)
origin git at github.com:castelao/cf-conventions.git (push)
upstream git at github.com:cf-convention/cf-conventions.git (fetch)
upstream git at github.com:cf-convention/cf-conventions.git (push)
... and you wouldn't update 'origin; rather you would update 'upstream' in
this case:
$ git remote set-url upstream
https://github.com/cf
-convention/conventions.git
(I hope that I have got this right, Guilherme!)
All the best,
David
