Re: [Geotools-devel] Geotools and Git

[Landon B. <sun...@gm...>]

Ben and Jody:

I finally managed to fork the GeoTools repository on GitHub. I'll now see
if I can figure out how to " github geotools repo as a git remote for your
local repo".

Once this is done, I'll see if I can take a look at that pull request for
the DXF module.

I can't remember if I asked, but is the original maintainer for the DXF
module still around?

Thanks.

Landon
