Very happy to start this morning, seeing that the checks have passed on the Language Switch pull request. Hope that it gets merged before the weekend!

Issue 321 Home news rewording

I broke a protractor test with one of my pull requests from the last day of October (Hacktoberfest).

My colleague Art already suggested a fix from another commit and I tried to cherry pick it.

To ensure I had the entities branch locally that Art referred to, I did

» git pull origin        
From https://github.com/DSpace/dspace-angular
 * [new branch]      configurable_entities -> origin/configurable_entities

However, trying to cherry pick the branch was not immediately successful

» git cherry-pick e39879b                    
fatal: bad revision 'e39879b'

So I figure I don’t have the pull request branches locally. Testing with pull requests in the DSpace documentation was a helpful reminder there.

git config --add remote.origin.fetch +refs/pull/*/head:refs/remotes/origin/pr/*

As the DSpace github repo is called “origin” on my local machine. So once I had the pull requests all locally, the cherry pick went fine.
