The "catalyst" name there in the remote is a local name for the repository, it could have been anything. "origin" would have been slightly special, then I wouldn't have had to give "git-fetch" an argument. The "catalyst.net.nz" part is where that repository is hosted, and refers to the people that sponsor my time. It doesn't really matter that it's hosted there, anyone could replicate it somewhere else and then people just point their remotes there instead. It is the content which is the primary identifier of the repository. "signed" tags in combination with the PGP web of trust provide authenticity of the content. Sam.Thread Previous | Thread Next
