Sometimes people forget the '-r' parameter in 'git pull -r' so it is suggested to create an alias, <pre>git config --global alias.up "pull --rebase"</pre> (you run this command and the alias is added to your ~/.gitconfig configuration file). Then, you run git up whenever you want to updated your local repository with changes from the main LibreOffice Git repository. Without the '-r' or '--rebase' you may get into a situation when you create a branch at the main LibreOffice Git repository, which in most cases is not what you want. Hence, the '--rebase' parameter. Is there a Wiki page somewhere at <a href="http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Development">http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Development</a> that would be recommended to add in some basic Git commands? Point to an existing page or recommend a URL to add new content inside. Simos <div class="gmail_quote">On Mon, Nov 14, 2011 at 1:05 PM, Chr.

I am not familiar with git, have used 'git clone' and 'git diff', but I don't want to do 'git clone' again, of course. Is 'git checkout' the proper way (run from the directory where .git is)? I have some more german-english translations for sc/source/ui/view, but I want to make sure that I use the latest source files before I commit my lines. Thanks a lot for your help.
