Me too was confused seeing that much red and green at once .
I have set geany as default editor and my geany is set to handle whitespace/tabs for example .
I think that it needs to start saving the file unedited in the editor , just to convert space and tab first and then commit that as info on formatting superfluous space and newlines .
The short info message was also because of being unsure , if the shell could handle multiple lines .
For now , I need to figure out , which parts of git on my systems need really fixes to work with github .
I have the installation similar on four partitions on the current machine .
Code: Select all
[user]
name = Karl Godt
email = karlgodt@excite.de
[credential]
helper = cache --timeout=3600
[core]
editor = /usr/bin/geany
[http]
sslVerify = false
And I am still confused about whether to have the need for a webbrowser github access is needed , or if git from commandline can handle everything , like creating forks .
I am happy, not to have brought the github server down with my commit - but stability is one of Linux/GNU strength , we all know .
