[Xastir-dev] Git question

[Jason Godfrey]

Is origin Xastir/Xastir and upstream we7u/Xastir?
In any case, I would probably try a git pull from origin

In general I try to avoid working in master. I will do work in another
branch and have master track the "official" master. If needed I will update
my local master  and then merge master into my branch to pick up any
changes from upstream.

Another option would be creating a new branch that matches GitHub master
and then cherry picking the commits you need from your local master into
it. Once everything is checked in upstream you can blow away that clone and
start over.
