I'm trying to figure out if the following line in 00b_Using_the_Repo doc is actually correct (and I'm missing something), or is a typo?
git checkout -t up/master # create a tracking branch. Here's what happens when I try to follow the workflow perscribed in the doc: [First, I forked the repo in github] $ git clone git://github.com/FlyingCampDesign/tinyos-main.git tinyos-2.x Cloning into 'tinyos-2.x'... remote: Counting objects: 39119, done. remote: Compressing objects: 100% (9688/9688), done. remote: Total 39119 (delta 29065), reused 38823 (delta 28887) Receiving objects: 100% (39119/39119), 30.68 MiB | 94 KiB/s, done. Resolving deltas: 100% (29065/29065), done. Checking out files: 100% (6110/6110), done. $ cd tinyos-2.x/ $ git remote add up git://github.com/tinyos/tinyos-main $ git fetch up remote: Counting objects: 14, done. remote: Compressing objects: 100% (1/1), done. remote: Total 8 (delta 7), reused 8 (delta 7) Unpacking objects: 100% (8/8), done. >From git://github.com/tinyos/tinyos-main * [new branch] master -> up/master $ git branch * master $ git checkout -t up/master fatal: A branch named 'master' already exists. This fails because master branch already exists when I checked out the fork. However, I'm not sure what this line should actually read? I'm assuming that the intention is to create a local branch that tracks the tinyos-main(master) branch, but in that case I would assume that the line should be something like: $ git checkout -t up/master-up Anybody able to shed some insight into the workflow intended in the doc?
