Hi Anand, I’m not sure if the configuration on your machine is compromised in some way, but most likely everything is fine.
I tested the exact same commands as you have and it seems to have worked. Steps: 10871 git clone https://github.com/PoisonAlien/maftools.git 10872 cd maftools 10873 git remote add upstream g...@git.bioconductor.org:packages/maftools 10874 git fetch —all 10875 git merge upstream/master <This is where I have a merge conflict> 10879 emacs DESCRIPTION <remove the bad version number marked as HEAD> 10881 git commit [master 579af19] Merge remote-tracking branch 'upstream/master' 10883 git log —oneline <Show a smooth commit history> 10884 git status git push upstream master Counting objects: 54, done. Delta compression using up to 4 threads. Compressing objects: 100% (31/31), done. Writing objects: 100% (54/54), 9.84 KiB | 9.84 MiB/s, done. Total 54 (delta 38), reused 37 (delta 22) To git.bioconductor.org:packages/maftools 8a302b3..579af19 master -> master You should have your git.bioconductor.org:packages/maftools repo synced with your GitHub now. Please check.
