Good evening, I'm interested in the proposals that are made on old issues 72457, 73202, 68524 and 69343. The problem is that i get lost when reading them.
Probably because my only experience with remote git repositories has been with gitlab. For example in gitlab or similar web git helpers issues are different entities than merge requests. Usually this means that the general discussion of the topic is keep at the issue entity and those things related with code and for example missing parentheses are keep at the merge requests entity. On the other hand issues.guix.gnu.org treats issues and patches all in the same thread which i find very confusing. For example if you add a commit message in a commit of your merge request you would see that message in the main issue thread. In codeberg for example that won't happen. But anyways that would change also between github/gitlab/codeberg etc. This is no worries for me. What I want to know is how can work on that patch/merge. In gitlab for example I would clone that merge request localy from the commit. For example from old 73202 how can I grab each patch part (small commit) into my local repo? Because each patch message only contains the reference commit and reference ID. I mean i could use each diff I guess in order to form my local copy from that commit. But how to so that automatically? Another thing that is not clear for me is how to keep track of issues/patches that are related with the current issue/patch thread i'm working with. Do i have to search the whole thread for mentions? If i want to make modifications to someone code should I apply a new patch to the thread or that should only be performed by the one that started the patches? It's probably a very natural way to use once you get used to it but in my current situation I find it hard. Any help is useful. Thank you. Best regards, Marius
