| Small question about gitHub: I have miniB3D+monkey hosted there and I wanted to create a new version (opengles20), but retain the old version (opengles11) in case anyone needed it. Do I create a branch or a fork? Is a fork only for someone else's code? Do I create this from the Git console? Or am I better off just zipping the old version and offering it it the same place? Thanks! https://github.com/adamredwoods/minib3d-monkey |

| First back up/copy your project folder to be sure ;) make sure you stage and commit (and push pull if you have a remote). Then from project folder: $ git branch newname $ git checkout newname (if using a remote you can also publish this branch too) to get back to the old one, stage all, commit etc and then: $ git checkout oldname Your project folder contents will then change to the checked out version. More info here: http://git-scm.com/book/en/Git-Branching-Basic-Branching-and-Merging I always use a gui client, so i am not sure how you change the remote tracking with the CL. Last edited 2012 |

| Just tag your current version as opengles11-stable or something and then continue working in master. Or you could make a new opengles20 branch. Mostly depends if you plan on actively working on the opengles11 version or not. |

| ok thanks! that helps. I'm keeping the opengles11 until the opengles20 is stable, then it'll become main. |
