Origin vs. Upstream

I would have choosen the names the way:

origin

the original program/doc

upstream

my publications

pull origin; push upstream sounds more logic to me.

Brackets

Until now we used <Replace this by your text> and [you might omit this] For your examples you should consider <syntaxhighlight lang="sh"> mkdir ~/github cd ~/github git clone git@github.com:"$YOUR-GITHUB-USERNAME"/gnucash.git </syntaxhighlight> resulting in:

mkdir ~/github
cd ~/github
git clone git@github.com:"$YOUR-GITHUB-USERNAME"/gnucash.git

The user should then be able to export the set variable and run the script, but I did'nt test it. --Fell (talk) 20:01, 29 January 2018 (UTC)

-- Sunfish62 reply -- Frank, the text and formatting were taken directly from the original "Git for Newbies" (now "An Introduction to Git") page. In other words, I didn't create it--I just copied it. As for the naming of 'origin' and 'upstream', those names were given to us by Geert, I believe.

Both have already been in [1] by User:Goodvibes. I don't remember if that was already a copy of something else. And I didn't say you made something wrong, but suggested only to unify the appearance and get the names more logical. --Fell (talk) 23:37, 4 February 2018 (UTC)
