GitHub Newbie Question

Post by JohnnyWalker2001 »

Hey there, I was hoping I could use the new GitHub repository to download the latest version of the project, while altering the files locally to understand the project better.

I currently use NetBeans and I've told it to Fetch the latest version but nothing seems to happen. This is all I get:

==[IDE]== 21-Jul-2011 23:02:51 Connecting
==[IDE]== 21-Jul-2011 23:02:51 Connecting finished.
==[IDE]== 21-Jul-2011 23:05:29 Fetching...
git fetch https://github.com/residualvm/residualvm.git +refs/heads/master:refs/remotes/origin/master
No update
==[IDE]== 21-Jul-2011 23:05:30 Fetching... finished.

Yet I can't see the ResidualVM project anywhere? :-(

Sorry for the newbie question.

You'd probably need to ask on a netbeans forum. ResidualVM uses a standard git repository.

fetch doesn't actually apply the changes to your currently active branch, it just downloads them.

what you want, is pull, which does both fetch and merge.
