Yes, you would basically clone the Github repo first (after automatically converting it), or add / set it as "origin" remote for an existing checkout, and then use vim-jp's mirror to overwrite it: % git clone https://github.com/vim/vim % cd vim % git remote add vim-jp https://github.com/vim-jp/vim % git fetch vim-jp % git checkout vim-jp/master % git push -f origin master Then origin's master (vim/vim) would be the same as vim-jp/vim's master. >From then on, you would only push to origin/master (your local master). To switch back to your local master: % git checkout master (this isn't tested, so it might be wrong) > As Christian asked: How does the cleanup script fit in? > It's best to have a step-by-step description of what should happen to > avoid ending up with something that isn't what we want. You could run the cleanup script after using vim-jp's repo as the base, and then commit it on top of it. Cheers, Daniel. -- -- You received this message from the "vim_dev" maillist. Do not top-post!
