Subject: [PATCH v2] doc:clarify which remotes can be used when contributing
Date: Sat, 23 Aug 2025 09:12:11 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <pull.2034.v2.git.git.1755940331248.gitgitgadget@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <pull.2034.git.git.1755630882418.gitgitgadget@gmail.com>
From: Daniele Sassoli <danielesassoli@gmail.com>
The docs mostly point to using git/git as one's remote, however, when it
comes to Sending a PR to GitGitGadget section, the reader is told to use
gitgitgadget/git, with no mention of git/git, potentially leading to
some confusion.
Clarify that both gitgitgadget/git and git/git can be used, albeit with
some differences.
