Using GIT to get remote code

I do not know from the online tutorial if I am properly establishing a connection with a git repository that is on a network.

All I have learned from a tutorial is how to set up a local repository, but getting data off of a network repository is knowledge I have yet to stumble upon or learn about and I wanted to save time by asking some online help forums.

I have just started using git after not using it for a while.
I have created a repository.
Then, as I was instructed, I made a “git clone” command which consisted of “git clone” followed by a path.
I expected this to get the contents of the path and put it into my repository – meaning the directory I made. This did not happen. What do I do?
How do I get a local copy of a remote work space for me to work on?

I am wondering if there is something like a "fetch" command I should be using.

The video tutorial I was looking at instructed how to make a local repository. But if I am trying to get code from a network location, how do I go about making that happen?

I was instructed at my job to run this command (copied here in pseudo code)

git clone blah-blah:/blah/git/noogie/dork_monkey/

and when I did this grom git-bash it did not produce any errors which led me to think it was the command I needed to do.

But I did this from the local directory that I used

git init

to set up as a local repository.

I assumed that typiing a "git clone..." command would have copied all of the files on the blah-blah server over.

But it did not.

I wonder if all this might have something to do with the fact that I need to get my network up and running first.

In my File File Explorer window, when I click on the "This PC" icon on the left, I can see I have five Network locationis mapped to drive letters.

But when I click on the Network icon I get an error.

Which One?

Have been using almost four years the LG K20 Plus. No issues with but I am to understand LG is not making smartphones anymore. I also have saved my ZMAX Pro (Z981). Question is which h do you thing is the better phone? I know it has better resolution but is there anything else I am missing? Metro is my provider.

General Android Question

I edited your post to fix the quote formatting. :thumbsupdroid:

What I find under the SIM settings are a voice LTE setting and a separate data LTE setting.
Guessing the Voice LTE is it. Honestly don't know why this feature seems to have 4 different names. :rolleyes:

PagePlus has a tool on their website where you check VOLTE compatibility and my Samsung J3 is OK. I haven't found a similar tool on the Verizon website
This is the page to check if a phone is compatible with Verizon, but since yours is already activated I don't know if it will say "Compatible" or "already in use" instead:
https://www.verizon.com/bring-your-own-device/

How important is an Android upgrade for us?
Back to your original question, if your phone does have VoLTE I agree with what @Unforgiven has crossed off in his first post above. If you only use apps from the Play Store and don't visit dodgy websites the phone should be fine for a few more years. Of course if you can get a good deal on a new one that's always an option. :)

Help BLE Conflict with Bluetooth Audio?

The phone has a wired interface, but I think Bluetooth is easier. It usually just connects by itself and starts playing.

BlackPlayer has the option for a wired connection to start the player as well.

This is just one more reason that I love BlackPlayer, because I have a 1970 Oldsmobile with a wired connection, and my ol'lady has a 2018 Subaru that has Bluetooth.

Help Can Tasker limit apps to not run when Bluetooth Audio is on?

So what I want to do is allow an application to run in the background except when streaming audio. I am using Black Player.

Maybe I should just complain to the watch app writer. Polar Flow is the application that interferes. I have simply disabled background operation and run the watch application manually for now.

If there was a way to run Polar Flow only when their is a WiFi connection, that could also be a solution.

Firestick 4k with VPN and Netflix

Something to be aware of is ExpressVPN was recently bought up by Kape Technologies (which before changing its name from Crossrider, a big website ad-injection company). As Crossrider, it previously had bought up CyberGhost and Private Internet Access.
https://restoreprivacy.com/kape-tec...svpn-cyberghost-pia-zenmate-vpn-review-sites/
So Kape, with its ad-based history, now owns three different, popular VPN services. Each VPN service is touted as remaining independent from Kape's oversight so as the saying goes, do the math and access your own beliefs on how much faith you have in corporate press releases.

What is BBC Agent app running?

That thread reminded me of the late nights when I was tweaked out using meth i actually got flash backs when I was reading about the guy who was reading all the code and and superfish attacks ...I busted a gut laughing but in all fairness maybe he was being attacked but no I do not believe when he walks into a best buy like he said just his presence crashes their computers I do not think so unless you have a pulse generator or jammer in your pocket and it would be so powerful you'd have burns in your crotch lmfao .

He wasn't.

Root Vivo V5 1601

I have a Vivo V5 1601 and it's android 6.0 sir... No system updates anymore so I want to root it no matter what.. I'll face whatever the consequences are and fix it on my own.. I'm a good researcher that brings me here.. Been researching how to root my phone for 3 days now..
if you feel like it you can learn how to port twrp to your device:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/dev-how-to-compile-twrp-touch-recovery.1943625/#post-32965365

and the basic steps to root is to:
  1. unlock the bootloader
  2. gain root by either the use of SuperUser or SU....looks like it will be hard to find a link for SU as it is old tech
  3. or gain root by Magisk
now you are rooted.

Yellow dot

I am tapping on the little rectangular area that shows when it is closed. I just double tap and the clock comes up. The yellow dot shows up in the left side of that rectangle.
I'd love to take a screenshot of it to show you. How do I do a screen shot with the phone closed?
if you go into the advanced settings>scroll down to motions and gestures>toggle on the "palm to swipe to capture"

now you can use the side of your palm and swipe across the screen to capture a screenshot. there is no need to fumble around to find the correct buttons to push. been using this feature for years. it is very convenient.

and again this yellow dot is on a widget? or on the lockscreen? again a screenshot would really help.
