Nope. Master is a branch, origin is a remote (i.e. A nickname for another repo). You could, of course, have a branch named origin and a remote named master, but that would be perverse.
Boy, I really wish there were conventions to make names (or nicknames) of remotes obviously different from names (or nicknames) of branches. Like remotes always all uppercase, branches all lower case. Maybe my head would spin less that way. Anyway, it's time to dive in, I suppose. I just cloned https://github.com/TEIC/TEI.git, checked out P5-Pure, and issued roughly 'make clean validate html-web test exemplars' (except that I set XSL=/home/syd/Documents/Stylesheets PREFIX=/home/syd OTHERLANGUAGES= on each call to make). As far as I can tell at a quick glance, it worked fine, Lou. Hoorah! (I agree, that deserves an explanation point.) I get one error in tei_all.dtd: line 3555 has | type (met|real|rhyme) "met real" Obviously, the default value cannot be two tokens like that in DTD land. What is the process to merge changes that have occurred in the past few weeks on the master branch of P5 into the sydb-xenodata branch? I presume it's something like $ cd ~/Documents/ # already done $ git clone https://github.com/TEIC/TEI.git # already done $ cd TEI/ $ git checkout sydb-xenodata $ git merge master # ?? $ git commit -m "merge w/ master" $ git push # ?? But would really like some hand-holding, here. -- Syd "guess the GIT book is my bedtime reading tonight" Bauman
