Re: [PLUG] git not recognizing 'branch' command [FIXED]
git branch -r command does the command on the remote repo, everything else works local. For example git branch lists the branches on the local repo git branch -r lists the branches on the remote repo On Thu, May 4, 2023 at 3:53 PM Rich Shepard wrote: > On Thu, 4 May 2023, c wrote: > > > What command are you using? > > Purcell, > > git master -m main > > That's supposed to work locally > > > I tried: > > git branch -m master main > > and it worked in a quick test on my machine. > > It worked here, too.

Re: [PLUG] git not recognizing 'branch' command
What command are you using? I tried: git branch -m master main and it worked in a quick test on my machine.

[PLUG] git not recognizing 'branch' command
I'm trying to rename the 'master' branch to 'main' on a laptop directory. Git tells me that 'master' is not a git command, while 'git branch' shows the only branch as 'master.' Why might this be? Rich

[PLUG] Domain for Asterisk hackers?
Howdy! I reserved the "asterhack.org" domain when I was thinking of starting an "Asterisk Hackers" group for voice over IP enthusiasts. I am terrible at follow-through so that never happened. Before I let a domain reseller drop-catch it and sit on it forever, would anyone here be interested in taking it over? It's currently on joker.com. Thanks, (another) Aaron

Re: [PLUG] Renaming file with back slashes and spaces
The filename does NOT have backslashes, just spaces. The backslashes are displayed to *quote* the spaces. That is, show that the spaces are part of the filename instead of whitespace delimiters between different filenames.

Do an 'ls -b' to see if there are any 8-bit characters in the name. You can also do 'mv Topo*pdf user-guide.pdf' On Thu, May 4, 2023 at 8:39 AM Rich Shepard wrote: > I have a file from an agency in which words are sepatated by back slashes > and spaces.

[PLUG] Renaming file with back slashes and spaces
I have a file from an agency in which words are sepatated by back slashes and spaces. Wrapping the name in double quotes (as user and root) fails: [root@caddis /home/rshepard/projects# mv "Topo\ TNM\ Style\ Template\ Users\ Guide.pdf" Users-Guide.pdf mv: cannot stat 'Topo\ TNM\ Style\ Template\ Users\ Guide.pdf': No such file or directory What have I missed?
