Workflow to update gitlab.com/fdroid/fdroiddata
If i have a new app to be added to f-droid.
i currently have the following workflow (assuming that my userid="k3b"):
- make a clone of https://gitlab.com/fdroid/fdroiddata at gitlab.com to https://gitlab.com/k3b/fdroiddata
- make a clone from https://gitlab.com/k3b/fdroiddata to my local computer
- add the changes to my local computer
- push my local changes back to https://gitlab.com/k3b/fdroiddata
- create a mergerequest from https://gitlab.com/k3b/fdroiddata to "https://gitlab.com/fdroid/fdroiddata"
- someone from the fdroiddata-team merges my changes.
my problem with this workflow is: how can i continue?
Example after 2 months i have to update my app-s description but i found no way (or have no permission) to update my https://gitlab.com/k3b/fdroiddata from https://gitlab.com/k3b/fdroiddata to get the changes of the last 2 months into my repository.
The last time i had this issue i deleted my https://gitlab.com/k3b/fdroiddata and re-created it as a new clone, and downloaded the new clone.
Is there a way to do this differently on gitlab.com?
On github i can merge the changes from the main repository back into my repository.
would it be ok if i update my local pc-repository from https://gitlab.com/fdroid/fdroiddata and then push these changes back to my https://gitlab.com/k3b/fdroiddata ?
