I am very far from being an expert on git, but I find that the commands
below allow me to easily incorporate updates from Waldek's git
repository into the poplog installation that I set up with Aaron's
getpoplog.sh script. This assumes a system with git installed, which is
straightforward using a linux package manager.
In the poplog_base directory created by the getpoplog.sh script:
git init # installs a bunch of files that make git treat the directory
# as a git repository
git remote add origin https://github.com/hebisch/poplog # make it aware
# of Waldek's remote repository
git fetch # get the latest versions of files from the repository
git checkout origin/master -ft # make the fetched files be the currently
# visible ones
Now re-run the build_all.sh script to build a poplog incorporating the
updates.
When I did the above, ved stopped complaining that it didn't recognize
my rxvt-unicode terminal and opened the file with no further fuss.
From now on (I think) I should just need to say
git pull
when Waldek announces updates
followed by build_all.sh if the updates are such that new saved images
have to be built to incorporate them.
Hope someone finds this useful.
