Fetching updates on Dreamhack?

[ninetydegrees]

How does one update their repos on their hack now? The 'old' script no longer pulls anything for me (what used to be on http://wiki.dwscoalition.org/wiki/index.php/Dev_Maintenance) and I don't understand how I can keep up with changes. :/

(Context: I'm on Windows; I use PuTTY and WinSCP).

Edit: ok, if anybody else wonders, short answer is you can no longer update your hack using old methods. :/

Edit 2: long answer is you can switch to the new system. See comments for detailed instructions. :)

Ok thanks!

One more question: my original branch didn't have a correct name so I tried to rename it using branch -m. Bad move because now what I see in PuTTY and on GH are different now. On PuTTY everything went fine; On GH it just created a new branch with the name I wanted. How do I get rid of the old branch on GH?

Okay try this:

git branch -r -d origin/OLDBRANCHNAME

Note: the origin is part of it and (probably) shouldn't be changed.

If you want to get a list of all your remote branches to be really sure, do this:

git branch -r

Thanks!
Should I do push origin after that? Because it's still there on GH (but not when I do branch -r).

Oops I gave some wrong info. What I gave you will have made your repository forget about that branch that's on github.

What you actually want is:

git push origin --delete branchname
