David, Considering David T's expressed concern regarding git, setting up collaboration in one repo is probably the least complicated. That would allow you to help out with the more subtle git operations, and allow David T. to worry less about that part. Geert Op dinsdag 18 september 2018 15:2

David, I am glad that you are taking on this aspect of the docs. Thank you. I would like to note to you (and reiterate for the larger group) the following important information: I am a POOR CHOICE to be considered some kind of documentation expert. While I have a great deal of editorial experi

Hi Frank, The problem I was having is that until David Ts changes are merged into the main repo I can't pull them using either GitHub or GitKraken to my local repo from the GnuCash-docs github. I use Gitkraken and it has just allowed me to clone https://github.com/sunfish62/gnucash-docs into a

David, It was the master branch which was 139 commits behind. I looked at the maint branch and noticed it was up to date. I have tried forking your repository but as I already had a fork of the main gnucash-docs repository github wasn't letting me fork your repository separately. It basically tol

David Main reason I pushed it through to the current Help manual is that I had it completed to slot in there already apart from a bit of minor debugging. If the current vesion of the guide continues for v3.3 I thought it was worth having it in the help manual at least. I agree it is really mate
