thanks for the help. I did actually, initially, try the command 'git pull', but it didn't work, which was why I switched to the use of 'git pull https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape.git' instead. I will now use 'git pull' in the future. I think the problem with the Wiki page (https://inkscape.org/en/develop/inkscape-git/) is that it does not explicitly indicate that one needs to switch directories before executing some of these commands. It seems to imply that all of these commands can be executed from within the same directory, which is not true. It might be helpful to indicate precisely when one should switch directories, or perhaps which directory one should be in when executing a specific command.
in any event, thanks for your help, I think I am now up and running, Alvin
