David, "27 commits behind" is easy to fix. Assuming you're using the branch naming scheme from the wiki Git page where your repository on Bithub is "origin" and https://github.com/gnucash/gnucash-docs is "upstream": git pull --rebase upstream maint git push --force origin maint That synchronizes both your local and github repositories with the "canonical" repo. The --rebase option moves any local commits you've made to after those 27 commits in upstream, and --force replaces whatever is in origin with what's in the local repository.
