Question thread #9

[pauamma]

It's been way too long since the last question thread (why didn't anyone poke me?) so let's have another one!

The rules:

- You may ask any dev-related question you have in a comment. (It doesn't even need to be about Dreamwidth, although if it involves a language/library/framework/database Dreamwidth doesn't use, you will probably get answers pointing that out and suggesting a better place to ask.)
- You may also answer any question, using the guidelines given in To Answer, Or Not To Answer.

I'm kind of terrified of switching over to Git, but I would like to fix a bug in it before too long. Is there a step-by-step resource that will help me ease into it as it's used on DW? Bonus points if it tells me how to get BBEdit in on the game.

Tried submitting a patch for the first time in a while and ran into some odd problem with git. When I tried to push to my github repo it tells me: "fatal: The remote hung up unexpectedly" and then the branch does not show up in my list of branches on github.

I think I might have also seen some kind of similar error when I was updating my code before creating the branch earlier tonight, but right after that it said "Everything up-to-date" so I thought it was okay? But apparently not.

I don't really know what this error means or how to deal with it.
