    <p>I want to make additions to a Git, so that the original author is able to pull the changes. Normally I'd fork that on something like GitHub and the workflow is simple. However for external repos I did find <a href="http://help.github.com/fork-a-repo/" rel="nofollow">nothing in the documentation</a>. </p> <p>Does anybody know how this would work for an external repository? Here's what I tried:</p> <pre><code>% more .git/config [core] repositoryformatversion = 0 filemode = true bare = false logallrefupdates = true [remote "upstream"] fetch = +refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/origin/* url = git://wiesel.ece.utah.edu/gr-ieee802-15-4.git [branch "master"] remote = origin merge = refs/heads/master [remote "origin"] url = git@github.com:wishi/gr_802.15.4.git fetch = +refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/origin/* </code></pre> <p>upstream is supposed to be the remote repo, and master the <a href="https://github.com/wishi/gr_802.15.4" rel="nofollow">GitHub thingy</a>. So after a trivial first change:</p> <pre><code>% git commit -a -m "check" [master 796f97a] check 1 files changed, 1 insertions(+), 1 deletions(-) % git push origin master To git@github.com:wishi/gr_802.15.4.git ! [rejected] master -&gt; master (non-fast-forward) error: failed to push some refs to 'git@github.com:wishi/gr_802.15.4.git' To prevent you from losing history, non-fast-forward updates were rejected Merge the remote changes before pushing again. See the 'Note about fast-forwards' section of 'git push --help' for details. </code></pre> <p>So that makes sense: merge the two branches:</p> <pre><code>% git merge upstream/master fatal: 'upstream/master' does not point to a commit </code></pre> <p>And here I am...</p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
