[M3devel] getting started with git?

[Jay K]

I wasn't clear.

I see no need for me to have my own github hosted repository.
I might have "fell" into having it through.
 
 
I'd just like to have the one "master" on github and an unavoidable local repo.
 (just one local? or a few?)
 
 
I'd like to push to master.
 
 
Can this work?
 
 
And then, who controls who is allowed to push to master?
Surely it isn't just world-writable.
 
 
Or I must push to github-hosted-jaykrell and then someone/everyone must pull from github-hosted-jaykrell?
 
 
 
Thanks,
 - Jay
