Wireshark · Wireshark-dev: Re: [Wireshark-dev] git doesn't like me anymore

You should be able to add your changes to the existing branch by running the following commands. These commands assume you are already on the branch using which you created the PR.

git add updateFileName

git commit -m "message"

git push

When you push the new commits to your fork that should help to update the pull request.

git and I just don't seem to understand one another.

I've made a new dissector, and I went through the whole process

to clone the repo, add/change my stuff, resync it, and submit

my merge request.  Now the approver(s) asked for some changes,

and although I disagreed with the need for the last one, I've

now made that enhancement too, and want to commit it and have

it merged.

But now after doing the 'git commit -a', the instructions say

I need to do 'git push downstream HEAD', but that returns the

error messages:

fatal: 'downstream' does not appear to be a git repository
fatal: Could not read from remote repository.

Please make sure you have the correct access rights
and the repository exists.

I'll admit, I don't understand git, let alone how to use it,

so I need help on what I need to do to get past this issue.

Thanks

Fulko
