Sorry for the basic question, but how do I update git with the new URL for the LaTeX manual? I read that I have to do the following: git remote set-url origin https:/ git.cinelerra-gg.org/goodguy/cin-manual-latex.git I'm afraid of messing things up before I even try. Can you confirm this for me? Do I also have to do “git push -u origin master” since I don't use git push?

Push is for pushing your local changes up to server ... You can manually edit .git/config and set new url there (may be just comment out old url with #, copy its line as new line, edit this new line , remove # at the beginning, save, "git pull" ) _______________________________________________

In /home/user/... I only have a .gitconfig (not “.git/config”) that contains only my data and no repository. If I do: git remote -v mio https://github.com/Andrea-Paz/cin-manual-latex (fetch) mio https://github.com/Andrea-Paz/cin-manual-latex (push) origin git://git.cinelerra-gg.org/goodguy/cin-manual-latex.git (fetch) origin git://git.cinelerra-gg.org/goodguy/cin-manual-latex.git (push) I only used "mio" (my) for translating the manual; I don't use it anymore. In “origin” I only do ‘pull’ and never “push” (I send everything to Phyllis via email).

sorry, I mean .git folder in folder containing your copy of manual (where you wanted to run git set-origin) _______________________________________________

Andrea, Save yourself from worrying about this and just create a new clone in a different directory and once you are happy that it is working the way you are used to, just delete the original one since you are no longer using "mio" and rename it if you want to use the original name.
git clone https://git.cinelerra-gg.org/goodguy/cin-manual-latex.git [new_directory_name] cd [new_directory_name]
git remote -v (will show you that the fetch is what you just used)
git pull (will reply with "Already up to date.")
And you never have to worry about "git push" because it will not let you for this particular repository. Alternatively, if you want to do it using your current directory and are not concerned about something you did in the past messing it up (I had this problem because of the weird things I do):
git remote -v git remote remove origin git remote add origin https://git.cinelerra-gg.org/goodguy/cin-manual-latex.git git pull origin
I learned more about git then I ever wanted to know in the last few weeks and it does not care what you name things. On Sun, Nov 23, 2025 at 7:39 AM Andrea paz <[email protected]> wrote:
