Yesterday

Having a day off in the middle of the week is like having a little holiday.

I fixed a fence with EC, went out to lunch with EC and my SO, added gamma correction to my ascii art thing, bought another fence panel, and went to scouts on the wrong day (on purpose - I was organising stuff) and went to bed early because I was tired for once.

This morning I got up a bit earlier than usual, feeling fairly perky, got to the station in time for an earlier train, and it was cancelled (perk only slightly dented).

Pushing a git branch

git clone someSharedRepo
git checkout -b someNewBranch
# edit, commit, want to share the branch
git push -u origin someNewBranch

It's the -u what done it.

Edit Obvs this was a problem that lots of people had because now if you try to push to a remote branch that doesn't exist, git still fails, but helpfully suggests to you what you should do.
