• In massivewikibuilder repository: beckett: ~/Public/pkgs/massive-wiki/massivewikibuilder I ended up making a branch for the new MWB3 code and pushing that to the home repo: that command line stuff is here:

$ git branch wla-mwb3-20230406 HEAD
$ git branch -l
* main
  pk-mistletoe-work-20230213
  pk-v2.0.0-rc-20220726
  wla-mwb3-20230406
  wla-v2.1.0-rp-20020930
$ git checkout wla-mwb3-20230406
Switched to branch 'wla-mwb3-20230406'
$ git branch -l
  main
  pk-mistletoe-work-20230213
  pk-v2.0.0-rc-20220726
* wla-mwb3-20230406
  wla-v2.1.0-rp-20020930
$ git push -u origin wla-mwb3-20230406

• In developer.massive.wiki vault: beckett: ~/Documents/Github/developer-massive-wiki Once the massivewikibuilder submodule was updated I needed to adjust the .gitmodules file in the developer wiki to get that code into my working repo;-- or I think I needed to do that.

$ git config --file=.gitmodules -l
$ git submodule set-branch -b wla-mwb3-20230406 \ .massivewikibuilder/massivewikibuilder

$ git submodule sync
$ git submodule update --init --recursive --remote

$ git add .massivewikibuilder/massivewikibuilder
$ git commit -m "new mwb3 code on a branch"
$ git push -v

• I used Bing Chat to ask git how-to questions. The answers were helpful and the (are we calling it "conversational") interaction was pleasant. I also learned a few new git commands along the way:

$ git rev-parse HEAD
$ git rev-parse tagID

• Also more learning in this attempt to remove the MWB submodule from ~/Documents/myWikis/myMassiveTestWiki:

$ git rm --cached .massivewikibuilder/massivewikibuilder
error: the following file has staged content different from both the
file and the HEAD:
    .massivewikibuilder/massivewikibuilder
(use -f to force removal)
$ git rm -f --cached .massivewikibuilder/massivewikibuilder
$ rm -fr \ .git/modules/massivewikibuilder
$ git commit -m "removed submodule massivewikibuilder"
