Thanks Stéphane:

Sorry I did not answer your questions below earlier.   I often see your mails 
on my iPad while having coffee.
By the time I got to my computer I had forgotten.

MKB: Pharo 8.0.0
Build information:

MKB: Yes, I’ve used git from a shell and several git Gui clients for years.
I started earlier (before I was introduced to Iceberg) by filing out my classes 
into the top level of a git repo for this project.
Then I can commit and push from there to GitHub

MKB:  I have probably used ssh, but more likely https.

MKB: Not sure what you mean.  Not that I’m aware of.

MKB: I was able to recover all the changes.  Thanks.
