This is a bit of a nit. While I got my git skills up to speed, I found the term origin a bit confusing so I named the remotes to my forks with my username. (It works, but it's probably not what everyone else does) I want my local practices to match what an experienced flightgear dev would normally do. What's your answer to: cd flightgear; git remote -v? -Pat Mine is currently: $worktree flightgear next cd /owc/worktrees/flightgear.next $git remote -v callahanp [email protected]:callahanp/flightgear.git (fetch) callahanp [email protected]:callahanp/flightgear.git (push) upstream https://gitlab.com/flightgear/flightgear.git (fetch) upstream no-push (push) I'm thinking it shoulduse the name origin for the fork. Is this correct? origin [email protected]:callahanp/flightgear.git (fetch) origin [email protected]:callahanp/flightgear.git (push) upstream https://gitlab.com/flightgear/flightgear.git (fetch) upstream no-push (push) My current workflow is to pull from upstream next and upstream 2024.1 and then push to callahanp, then rebase any feature/fix branches on upstream next _______________________________________________ Flightgear-devel mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/flightgear-devel
