Re: [Tiki-devel] Git (22.x not showing up) - Lindon

I've also been wondering exactly this too, for ages... and been meaning to try it out.

I've found my "mirror" clone on gitlab always breaks, and then takes forever to fix, so i'm afraid i'm still pushing directly into tiki :p

I've been wanting to try out WSL - Windows Subsystem for Linux - for a while now, and so I got that going and have an Ubuntu 20.04 and LAMP on this pc ready to go. So my question is: is it actually necessary to fork the main Tiki GitLab repository to my GitLab account and then clone the forked repository to my computer? Why not just clone the main Tiki repository directly? Seems like having my GitLab fork in the middle is an unnecessary step, unless there's a reason for it. Thanks for any views/info about this.
