05:32:07 <NetEcho> hey folks I'm looking to use gnucash to keep track of my spending and whatnot as well as create a budget however I'm a wee bit rusty on double-entry accounting and am unsure if I have the right idea for my pay checks when they come in. currently my thought process is create an Income account and when the pay arrives, debit that account and then credit my Chequing account?
05:40:29 <tms> that's one way yes
05:42:28 <NetEcho> what's the other way?
05:43:07 <tms> hum, perhaps I shouldn't have worded it that way. it's the way I do it too, but I'm sure there are others
05:43:16 <tms> I just find the term "checking account" very confusing. but still I use it
05:43:58 <tms> maybe an mnemonic that makes checking account = employer
05:46:22 <sixwheeledbeast> You say have Income/Wages type account which would "transfer" to say a Assets/Checking Account
05:52:55 <tms> sometimes I feel a directed graph would be nicer for this, so you can really see the flows
05:53:01 <sixwheeledbeast> Then when you spend your wages you "transfer" from Checking Account to Expenses/Foobar
05:54:00 <tms> with my small business i typically credit sales and debit "kassa" (teller?) whenever I get some income
05:54:27 <tms> and possibly debit VAT, depending
05:55:46 <sixwheeledbeast> I also use mostly for business where you would use the Business/Customer/Invoice etc but for personal accounts you can keep it basic.
05:56:53 <tms> credit The Man and debit yourself :]
05:58:56 *** harshitaneja has quit IRC
06:00:09 <sixwheeledbeast> Did you start a blank Chart of Accounts or use the default personal one? I suppose if you just use the basic personal one you are good to go for most cases.

12:44:26 <gjanssens> warlord: I'm back
12:44:37 <gjanssens> (and hi :)
12:45:02 <warlord> Hi.
12:45:27 <warlord> I'm going to be relatively close by next week (Paris) for some meetings. But other than Wednesday, Aug 29 I dont have any free time.
12:46:33 <gjanssens> Cool :)
12:46:40 * gjanssens checks his agenda...
12:47:04 <gjanssens> I have a meeting myself in the afternoon...
12:47:15 <gjanssens> But the morning is free
12:47:19 <warlord> I presume in Brussels
12:47:32 <gjanssens> Near to Leuven actually
12:47:32 <warlord> I only land at 11am on the 29th.
12:47:48 <gjanssens> Hmm that's tight :(
12:47:49 <warlord> Then meetings 30th and 31st. Fly back the evening of the 31st.
12:48:13 <warlord> Yeah. No worries; I'm sure I'll be back
12:48:40 <gjanssens> Ok, it will be for a next time then

15:14:36 <warlord> gjanssens: which github/git question -- if I have a fork of a project and I screwed up my pushes to my fork (forgot to pull/rebase from the upstream before pushing to my fork) --- how do I clean it up?
15:15:08 <warlord> Is there a way to reset my repo to an older commit and start over and somehow force-push to github?
15:19:31 <warlord> gjanssens: I figured out a way to do it.
15:35:59 *** Mechtilde_ has quit IRC
16:24:35 *** gour has quit IRC
16:38:31 <gjanssens> warlord: good :)
16:38:35 <warlord> gjanssens: Okay, different github/git question. Is there an easy way to create and push to a new branch?
16:39:00 <warlord> e.g., lets say I have a clone of foo/master with a remote set to bar.
16:39:26 <warlord> I've made two commits, locally, and want to create and push to bar/feature
16:39:44 <warlord> (with a *second* remote set to bar)
16:39:56 <warlord> .. bar is a "fork" of foo, and has its own master
16:42:11 <frakturfreak> git push bar feature, `man git-push` has a lot of examples
16:42:32 <warlord> If I just try to "git push bar feature" I get an error: src refspec feature does not match any.
16:43:02 <warlord> do I need to create a branch "feature" locally first?
16:43:14 <warlord> (I'm currently sitting in master locally)
16:44:59 <warlord> I can't use bar/master because it's currently part of an outstanding PR, and I want to send another PR for another feature, so I want to create that feature branch.
16:45:17 <frakturfreak> I thought you had already done stuff/created the branch to push.
16:45:33 <frakturfreak> why push stuff that doesn’t exist
16:45:37 *** jtaylor has quit IRC
16:46:07 <warlord> frakturfreak: I dont understand the question. Why specify a target branch if I can't map it on the fly?
16:46:29 <warlord> The commits *do* exist.
16:47:23 <gjanssens> warlorld you can specify both a source and a target branch in a push like so
16:47:40 <gjanssens> git push <remote> <sourcebranch>:<targetbranch>
16:47:54 <gjanssens> So you can do git push bar master:feature
16:48:28 <warlord> gjanssens: Ah, okay. Glad to know what works. I just did a 'git branch feature; git push bar" which seems to have worked.
16:48:44 <gjanssens> Ok
16:49:05 <warlord> Thanks.
16:49:09 <gjanssens> If you only specify one branch name git will assume the same name in your local and remote repo
16:49:13 <gjanssens> You're welcome
16:51:22 <gjanssens> I'm off for tonight. Bye!
16:51:37 <warlord> Good night.
