Intellij and Git

Basic introduction here, very nice:



Incidentally, at first I could not find the "New/Ignore file" menu, so I have manually created a New File .gitignore, and Idea magically prompted me to install the Gitignore plugin, which I did with great satisfaction.

I kept getting

2017-08-12 12:03:55,303 [2262815]   INFO -  #git4idea.commands.GitHandler - 
remote: Permission to pvmarmotta/pv01.git denied to vernetto. 
2017-08-12 12:03:55,303 [2262815]   INFO -  #git4idea.commands.GitHandler - 
fatal: unable to access 'https://github.com/pvmarmotta/pv01.git/': The requested URL returned error: 403 

until in .git/config I changed the URL to https://pvmarmotta:mypassword@github.com/pvmarmotta/pv01.git/

it's tragic that such basic things entail manual hacks... this is the state of IT in 2017... I hope driverless cars will be better engineered otherwise we are toast (we are in any case thanks to AGW)
