[M3devel] getting started with git?

[Jay K]

This leaves me still not knowing how to push my changes around.
There is?
 1 my private local repository on my local machine 
 2 My private GitHub-hosted repository
 3 "master" GitHub-host repository
 

How do I get things into #3?
Tony has to grant access? And then I can push directly? Can I then just get rid of #2?

Hi all,
First of all - Happy New Year! 
Second - I am sorry for being late reacting to Git related questions. Please feel free to ask me here and/or privately about anything which is at the moment unclear.
As for access - our repo is not world writable. I think Anthony maintains master account and it is where access is granted. We all have our local repos and whole or part of our local repo is mirrored to master one.

Aha, so we can please use the "shared repository model"?
I'll try pushing a change later and see if I'm already allowed.
 

I too had developed a severe case of "Stockholm syndrome" with CVS -- learning to like your captors.
I could tell it was awful, but I understood it pretty well and could work within its limits.

 
Thanks,
 - Jay
