Re: Question about permissions for django.git

Hey Kasper-

Many thanks! Tried your suggestion and it works.

Does this mean that my specific git configuration is such that the 'git' URL will not work? If so, it is possible that https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/internals/contributing/writing-code/working-with-git/ could be updated to show both ways of setting up the remote?

Best regards,

Chris

Here you are using an https URL (https://github.com/chrisxkeith/django.git)

Here you are using a "git" URL (g...@github.com:django/django.git).

Instead of:

# git remote add upstream g...@github.com:django/django.git

Try:

# git remote add upstream https://github.com/django/django.git

Or something similar.

Hope you see the difference.

Kind regards,

Kasper Laudrup
