w3m doesn’t support JavaScript

thanks for heads up

Don’t push.

yes, removing push code resolved the issue

@[email protected]

If I understand OP’s explanation correctly, they’re simply trying to make a, possibly selfhosted, copy of a GitHub repo.

• yes, you are correct in sense.
• all i am trying to do is keep a copy of upstream repo. similar to mirroring repo.
• i have to remove git push origin master
• i will again check after few days whether the command is correct

@shugzaurus

When you clone a repo only one branch is pulled from the remote, main by default

No. I havent read book recommended by @[email protected], but github cheatsheet $ git clone [url] says all branches https://training.github.com/downloads/github-git-cheat-sheet
