Hello, Many apologies, but this week caught up with me, and I didn't get round to changing the repository names. But I *will* do it on Monday 8th July.
If you need to update a local repository, Guilherme pointed out that it might be a good idea to double check what you have before update the origin, with $ git remote -v For example, if you have a fork of cf-conventions called 'origin', then the above command might return ... origin [email protected]:castelao/cf-conventions.git (fetch) origin [email protected]:castelao/cf-conventions.git (push) upstream [email protected]:cf-convention/cf-conventions.git (fetch) upstream [email protected]:cf-convention/cf-conventions.git (push) ... and you wouldn't update 'origin; rather you would update 'upstream' in this case: $ git remote set-url upstream https://github.com/cf -convention/conventions.git (I hope that I have got this right, Guilherme!)
