Thanks, Kevin. I'd been adjusting the wikis based on what was already there
and had overlooked putting instructions in for this setup.
There's actually a few extra steps which aren't completely obvious:
1. Fork Insoshi project on git
2. "git clone git://github.com/insoshi/insoshi.git"
3. "cd insoshi"
4. "git remote add <my_github_login> [EMAIL PROTECTED]
:<my_github_login>/insoshi.git"
5. "git fetch <my_github_login>"
6. "git checkout -b <my_local_branch> <my_github_login>/master"
7. Open up .git/config and add to the section [remote "<my_github_login>"]
the line
"push = refs/heads/<my_local_branch>:refs/heads/master"
The "git fetch <my_github_login>" is needed to bring in and automatically
create the <my_github_login>/master branch. I've also updated the "git
checkout -b" to reflect that.
The update to the .git/config file is the really non-obvious one. What
would happen without it is that the "git push" would try to actually push up
your local master branch (connected to the main Insoshi GitHub repository)
to your GitHub repository's master instead of your changes on
<my_local_branch>.
I'll make the updates and expand upon this in the wiki.
