Yes, http://grml.org/git/, but it is kind of reference book style, doesn't cover much on the work flow, especially on the topic of no-writing-privilege user contributing back. >> - do initial git pull into grml-debootstrap >> >> git pull git://git.grml.org/grml-debootstrap master > > Why not git-clone (possibly shallow, if you are working on one-shot > patch or patch series)? Ok, to explain it, I have to touch upon my "life long story" of using git. Long story short on this, the recommended work flow that I searched and found from the Inet was to do 'git clone' from web then 'git clone' a local working copy. Here is my trying log: # Download the latest version of the repository without downloading all the history, using "shallow checkouts". git clone --depth 1 git://git.grml.org/grml-debootstrap.git create working repo: $ git-clone --depth 1 grml-debootstrap grml-debootstrap.working Initialized empty Git repository in /export/repositories/gitwork/grml/grml-debootstrap.working/.git/ fatal: attempt to fetch/clone from a shallow repository ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Seeing that fatal error, and not knowing where to get help from, I just gave up the 'git clone' approach. Please be specific (with git commands), how would I use 'git clone' for working on one-shot patch or patch series. Got to run, will comment on the rest later. thanks -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
