Subject: Little fix and suggestion for the git tutorial

Message-ID: <1b46aba20706210945h49139cc2y69d2de972f014189@mail.gmail.com> (raw)
Sorry for not sending a patch, I was following the tutorial and found
this, in the section "Using git for collaboration":
307 With this, you can perform the first operation alone using the
308 "git fetch" command without merging them with her own branch,
309 using:
I think that "you" should be replaced with "she".
I have a suggestion also that I don't know how to fix. The text in
that section seems to say something like you need to add a "remote"
alias to be able to run fetch for retrieving without merging:
...[remote add <alias>]...
307 With this, you can perform the first operation alone using the
308 "git fetch" command without merging them with her own branch,
309 using:
....[fetch <alias>]...
315 Unlike the longhand form, when Alice fetches from Bob using a
316 remote repository shorthand set up with `git remote`, what was
317 fetched is stored in a remote tracking branch, in this case
318 `bob/master`. So after this:
I'm not sure, but I think that you could use fetch without the need of
an alias. I think that here it is trying to avoid more advanced
explanations or longer commands, however I don't know how to say it
better, perhaps mentioning that this way it is easier, without
omitting that it could be done without a "remote" alias for the repo.
That's all, thank you
