I would rather see "git pull" and "git push" have explicit remotes and branches listed in a guide like this. If people want to apply their own git expertise to take shortcuts, that's fine, but if we want the documentation to be as helpful as possible to people with a very wide range of expertise, being explicit is a better teaching tool. I'd support pointing people to some external documentation about taking shortcuts, but wouldn't want them to be in the perlrepository. Also -- if consensus winds up in favor -- I have a concern that the patch as given depends on the exact ordering of the git config statements. I would suggest using a literal for the configuration of remote.origin.pushurl rather than picking it up from the previously configured value. -- DavidThread Previous | Thread Next
