Closed bobdc closed 3 years ago
@bobdc is this different from #66 ? Can you please close one of them if they are redundant?
Also, could you please rebase it on the latest commit in the main
branch -- this would make the "diff" link less noisy.
@pchampin I closed #66. (I did #67 because I got an error message for #66, so I was trying again.)
When I do a pull of the main branch in my fork, it says I'm already up to date. I thought if it pulled something more recent than what I had I would rebase with that.
I'm probably misunderstanding some of the required steps (especially in managing the relationship of my fork to the original repo) because I'm not an every-day github user.

Yes, you fell in the same trap we all did for our first pull-request! That's really something Github should handle better :-/
The first thing to understand is that the main
branch of your fork is not automatically synchronized with the main
branch from the original repo. You have to synchronized it manually. Instructions about how to do that are available here: https://timonweb.com/misc/how-to-update-a-forked-repo-from-an-upstream-with-git-rebase-or-merge/ (with some adaptation, of course).
The second thing to know is that you should not make a pull request from your main
branch. If your PR gets not merged, then your main
branch will have irremediably diverged from the upstream main
branch, which you don't want. So you should create a dedicated branch for every PR you intend to submit. (that being said, we'll manage with this one, don't worry)
@bobdc - Would it be possible to setup your account so the IPR is automatically validated?

If you believe it should work, there is an issues list for that ("meta-issues"?!)
https://github.com/w3c/ash-nazg/issues/
I had transient problems: https://github.com/w3c/ash-nazg/issues/189
Thanks! A pull request from a branch of my fork was the first thing I tried (#66) and when that didn't work I tried it from main on my fork (#67).
When you wrote "we'll manage with this one" did you mean that you have the paragraphs I wrote ready to paste into some branch, or should I try another PR?
After I saw Andy's comment I think I managed to link my github account to the W3C, but I'm not quite sure what my next step is.

@bobdc it seems that the IPR problem is gone, so your linking your GH account worked. :+1:
If the other PR was on a separate branch, the cleaner way would probably to close this one and reopen #66. Then you could reset your main
branch in sync with the upstream main
branch.
Actually, after a closer look at your commits, it seems that this is not no much a problem of rebasing. You seem to have removed content from the file (e.g. here, the parts about the SPARQL* result format).
It looks like you worked on an old version of the HTML file, but committed it on top of a recent commit, which GIT interpreted as an intentional removal of the other recent parts.
I am sorry, but I think the best solution is for you to
It that's too much hassle, or you don't feel comfortable with Github do to that, I can take care of it.
Those really are the steps that I remember doing, but in the past I have messed it up along the way. I will try again.

I am sorry, but I think the best solution is for you to
- copy the content you added in the Overview section
- start afresh with a clean fork of the repo
- paste your content in a new branch
- and push that new branch as a new PR.
It that's too much hassle, or you don't feel comfortable with Github do to that, I can take care of it.

Creating a new pull request as described in recent comments.
Note that some content that was in the Overview before won't show up in the browser with this version but is in the HTML file, commented out in case someone wants to move it somewhere else.
