I may have messed something up when I did these steps:
Clone this repostitory (https://github.com/deadw00d/contrib) into directory named 'contrib' and then checkout branch alt-abiv0
Copy the contrib directory into /home/vinny/myrepo/AROS directory
I cloned the repo while I was inside ~myrepo and then checked the branch while in there. I then copied the folder contrib in /home/vinny/myrepo/AROS
I am going to remove it from both and try again
Here is the terminal window log:
vinny@iMacX ~ $ git clone https://github.com/deadw00d/contrib contrib
