+1 Not only confusing but also more than occasionally non-functional - at least in my experience. After persevering for much longer than made sense I gave up on Github's Web UI almost completely. Nowadays when I can I use git and 'gitk' (which I heartily recommend) from an xterm. This leaves Github providing more or less just a file store and a means to have the occasional chat with any other interested parties. It seems to be able to manage that. To be fair to Github (although I really don't see why I should be) it would probably work better for me if I used Windows, but that's never going to happen. -- 73, Ged. _______________________________________________ Freedos-user mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/freedos-user
