To continue yesterday's conversation about the editing bot, here's my editing script (read the known issues before you install it and check what it did before you leave the post): github.com/AstroCB/Stack-Exchange-Editor-Toolkit.

Perhaps @Unihedron could use his RegEx powers to fix that i issue...

@bjb568 It's okay, I'm learning.

@BenCollins Clear, sure. It's clear that it's a mess. What I want to see is my branch dot dot dot pulltomaster dot dot dot pulltomaster. I have no idea where 5 branches came from.

Ben Collins

2:41 AM

looks like a fork (presuming this is github?), probably. Can't tell exactly without seeing the whole graph, though. I still don't see any problem with it, although I can see how it might be nice if you could limit the graph to "only this repository"

bjb568

@BenCollins Yes, it's github. No, it's not a fork. There are no forks.

Hm… how to extend screenshot to include more graph? …

Ben Collins

you could just link to the repo

unless it's private, I guess

bjb568

It is private.

I guess I could let you in for a peek… Eh… meh… Nah, it's secret.

AstroCB

@bjb568 Better?

nah, it's not that important ;-)

I was just curious
