No problem Josh! And thanks for creating the repo. >From previous experience I found out that a pull request cannot be created >since there is no branch created yet. And creating such a branch requires creating a (empty) commit which will conflict with existing history.
So what I did is prepare everything in my own personal repo [1] (including history). The easiest to proceed is for you (or another committer) to clone [1], change the remote to the Apache one [2][3] and push both the 'master' and the 'asf-site' branches. After that let me know so I'll create a Jenkins job for it and the switch to serving the site from git can be made. Reviewing changes is possible by viewing commit 451b1805a6eaed9587e3d526c731c8eb2118c984 [4] Regards, Roy [1] https://github.com/rlenferink/vcl-site [2] g...@github.com:apache/vcl-site.git [3] https://gitbox.apache.org/repos/asf/vcl-site.git [4] https://github.com/rlenferink/vcl-site/commit/451b1805a6eaed9587e3d526c731c8eb2118c984 On 2020/03/09 19:22:43, Josh Thompson <josh_thomp...@ncsu.edu> wrote: > Hi Roy, > > I'm sorry to take so long to get back to you.
