+ [2019-06-02T22:10:27Z] arooni there's no problem with adding a remote origin later and making some commits locally before doing that right?
+ [2019-06-02T22:10:42Z] arooni also; can i run git init whenever i want; even if i forget to do it when i start a new project?

Hi all. Someone just gave me a pull request. what's the best way to test out the changes locally before committing?
+ [2019-06-04T20:47:54Z] jesusrmx Hi, can please someone explain why a regular "git push" works but "git push -f hash:master" does not? thanks (using https, not ssh).
+ [2019-06-04T20:50:12Z] jesusrmx the error message is "fatal: Could not read from remote repository.
+ [2019-06-04T20:50:12Z] jesusrmx Please make sure you have the correct access rights
+ [2019-06-04T20:50:12Z] jesusrmx and the repository exists.
