github push denied

[davidpbrown]

So, for fun I thought I’d try to push the simplest of corrections, fixing the logo url in safe_network/src/lib.rs
but I don’t know if I’m pushing to the wrong location or if this is simply not available for public to push … looking to QA/Contributing and firstcontributions, I can’t make out the difference from what I did for my own.

By default pushes to the maidsafe repo are not allowed. You will need to fork the repo and do

git remote set-url origin git@github.com:davidpbrown/safe_network.git

You can then push a new branch to your repo and raise a PR to maidsafe/safe_network

You can’t push directly to maidsafe, only to your own repo.

You need to set the maidsafe repo as the upstream repository, your own as origin. I think this happens naturally when you fork maidsafe on github and then clone your fork to a local repository, but you can do it manually. using the git remote add ... command.

Then you change your own repo, push to github, and on github can open a pull request.

Easiest way to learn this will be to read the github docs which are very good and include step by step instructions. Hope this helps a bit.

Just to note the bit not above is the “lint” which is Github being a bit ocd for the message that goes to the push…

So, a bit unclear to me but perhaps most pushes are wanting some message formatted similar to
chore: message

See: GitHub - conventional-changelog/commitlint: 📓 Lint commit messages
