Git Forks

    It's okay to fork someones repository, but DON'T EVER EDIT FORKS without permission. Once you edit them you take a part of that repository and make it yours. Anything unchanged is just a clone. But anything you edit actually makes them bonded. Therefore, unless you move changes between both sides so they match, it disconnects it from the local repository. This means nothing can be pushed or pulled from the local repositories until the differences are resolved. And I don't know how to do this, so I'm screwed. Now unless he synchronises my changes, I can't make anymore commits. So please be mindful of never messing with forks without permission. DON'T DO IT!

     

    If you see this 

     

    failed to sync this channal

    You might need to open a shell and debug the state of this repo.

    Yeah...user NUKer...spammed the README, the README (thats all it takes) in his fork with "cgggggggggggggggggggg"

    D:< Now it has locked me out of syncing my local repository. B****! If he doesn't respond to my sync request by tomarrow, I'll have my revenge.

     

    f-f-f-f-f-ffff-orks. >:)

    lol, you clearly don't understand git at all. Everything you said is all wrong. You had to have merged in his branch manually, I have no idea why you would accept the pull request when it did nothing. If you don't do that, his fork won't affect yours though.

    Merging is easy once you know how. What are you using? smart git / git gui / git command line things / something else?

    Also nothing he can do will fix your problem, you have to solve the merging yourself.

    I never understood github. Everthing that I said is what happened. I sent the pull request, after it already rufesed to syncronise because his fork was ahead of mine. It errored out simply because he added something in his fork. So, yes, his fork did latch on like a parasite and ruined it. Actually, I have already merged it now. But I then continued to edit from the website till my main branch passed his fork. Now it still refuses to fork because it still says his fork is ahead of mine (in my command line console).

     

    I have both  a primitive gui and a command line. Actually, the whole thing doens't seem to want to do anything with the repository after it was forked. I have s*** git. S*** git does not support forks. >:(

     

    Only one solution...DEMOLITION. Im erasing everyhting and restarting. It's the only way to fix it. I'll put a big notice not to fork untill I get new software.
