Git How do you force a normal branch after forking (not doing with pull request)


Strange requirement but in case you still need it..

Lets say you forked a repo and for some reason instead of creating a PR, you wanted to push that as a normal branch.

Please ensure you created a branch first and then check out

git branch mytarget 

 git checkout mytarget

 git push mynewBranch.git

Trying to run vllm without gpu will typicaly lands you into this issue. To resolve this issue: we can use set these both. Setting one does not work for me. So i had to configure both settings below:- 1.  environment variable CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES = "" 2. in the command line, change to use device cpu and remove  tensor-parallel-size.

 While trying to run gemini cli on my windows linux subsystem, i bump into this error here - "/Roaming/npm/node_modules/@google/gemini-cli/node_modules/undici/lib/web/webidl/index.js:512 webidl.is.File = webidl.util.MakeTypeAssertion(File)"  "ReferenceError: File is not defined" In Node.js, there’s no built-in File (until very recent Node 20+ with experimental WHATWG APIs). So, unless polyfilled, File is undefined, leading to the ReferenceError. And to resolve this, I had to upgrade to node 22 (might work for node 20) and then I was able to run it.
