Strange behavior of GitHub

[John Ralls]

Frank,

That’s correct. You must *never* push directly to the mirror repositories on Github, nor may you use any of the Github merge or edit tools. Push only to code and it will automatically update Github.

I think we can set up the GnuCash Github repositories so that only the special user associated with code can push. I’ll work on that as a preventive measure.

Regards,
John Ralls
