Did you fork the repository first?

>  machine.
>  2.  cd REPO to switch to the REPO directory.
>  3.  bash /path/to/update_remotes.sh to setup the git remotes.
>  4.  Commit to git and push to GitHub as you normally would.
>  5.  Each time you want to push git commits to svn:
>     *   git checkout devel to switch to the devel branch. (use release-X.X for
>     release branches)
>     *   git svn rebase to get the latest SVN changes.
>     *   git merge master --log to merge your changes from the master branch or skip
>     this step and work directly on the current branch.
>     *   git svn dcommit --add-author-from to sync and commit your changes to svn.
>     You may be prompted here for your SVN username and password.

> branch on varemo/piano.git, then I would move on and go through step 5 to push
> my edits to svn. But maybe I am missing something here?
> 
> As a side note: I am able to edit the local master branch and push that to
> GitHub, i.e. the master on varemo/piano.git. Is the idea that one should only
> work on master, and just use the other branches when doing step 5?

> Would be grateful if anyone could clarify the system for me.
