Managing a project using GitHub. Follow
Using 2021.2.
I've tried following the documentation, but it's quite simply a mess now. I want to put my project in https://github.com/WMRGL to which I am a member. But now I find both of my attempts at this have created repositories in my github account:
Both of these are essentially the same project and will now have to remove them.
I can see I am supposed to create a proxy "remote", but I can't do that:
Pycharm is connected to my account "pmasonBWC" which is a member of the WMRGL organisation. So how is this supposed to work?
Thanks, Paul

Answered it myself, by accident. Just to see if it might work, I created the repository manually and pasted the URL into the "remote" URL and that worked. Not only did it work in itself i.e. it created a "remote", but it also created the link to GitHub. I was nae expecting that!
This functionality feels like an afterthought. The documentation is literally non-existent; there is no documentation explaining what a "remote" is and how is behaves. If someone thinks this is self explanatory, I can assure you it is not....well, not to a normal person. Perhaps I'm not enough of a nerd.
The concept is slightly surreal. Why not allow us to specify the URL (my GitHub repository or any to which I am a member) when sharing and let GitHub do the authentication using the account credited in the settings (?)
