[PATCH v2 07/15] user-manual: Mention 'git remote add' for remote branch config

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



From: "W. Trevor King" <wking@xxxxxxxxxx>

I hardly ever setup remote.<name>.url using 'git config'.  While it
may be instructive to do so, we should also point out 'git remote
add'.
