G2 in Git: cloning and updating procedures

This page is a parking lot for git procedures that I always forget because I don't do them enough. It's not meant to be a complete Git tutorial, as there are much better ones than I could possible write. Please feel free to correct or add to this page.

These notes are written from the perspective of running GitX GitX-dev (rowanj fork) Version Version 0.15.1964 dev (0.15.1964) on OSX while using Apple Terminal for command line functions.

Making a Remote to pull code for a PR

• Add the remote, e.g. git add remote MitchBradley git@github.com:MitchBradley/g2.git
• Fetch the remote, e.g. git fetch MitchBradley
• restart the Gitx window or the remote will not be visible
