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?

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
