Created attachment 205305 [details] Fix v01 (In reply to comment #0) > We should use consistent terminology. I totally agree. The patch replaces "remove" with "delete"... and "repository" with "clone" as the repo is something we clone to create a clone and we're on the Git Clones page. Created attachment 205306 [details]

Nitpicking, ...I don't agree with the change from "repository" to "clone." You are correct that we are inconsistent, but... - the link to this page in the banner is called "Repositories" - in this page, you can clone a repository, but you can also create a new one that is not a clone of anything. So wouldn't it make more sense to keep the "repository" terminology and perhaps rename the page from "Git Clones" to "Git Repositories"? Clone and repository are synonymous in Git. Using a different term depending on whether it has a corresponding remote is too subtle. We should pick one term and stick with it. I don't feel strongly but I would pick "Repository". The word "Clone" doesn't really describe what it is, but just that it is a copy of something. A clone could also mean a sheep or a tomato. I agree on fixing up the inconsistency. I clicked on a link called "Repositories" and I arrived at a page called "Clones". They should be consistent. Created attachment 205439 [details] Fix v02 (In reply to comment #3 and comment #4) > [...] keep the "repository" terminology and perhaps > rename the page from "Git Clones" to "Git Repositories"? Fine with me. Left "repositories" untouched and renamed "Git Clones" to "Git Repositories". Fixed with 98f9ff7715b79cff7dd4efd9b51a65ee288f9c7d. |
