[QGIS-Developer] Build problems using install instructions

[Tony Bazeley]

Not having much luck I'm afraid

I've done a completely new reinstall and followed the instructions down to 
git fetch /qgis/master

at this point
*~/dev/cpp/QGIS/release-3_36*$ git remote -v 
origin  https://github.com/qgis/QGIS.git (fetch) 
origin  https://github.com/qgis/QGIS.git (push)

and git status 
On branch release-3_36 
nothing to commit, working tree clean
then 
git fetch qgis/master
git fetch qgis
git fetch QGIS
git fetch qgis/QGIS
git fetch master

all return:
fatal:  does not appear to be a git repository 
fatal: Could not read from remote repository. 
Please make sure you have the correct access rights 
and the repository exists

git fetch https://github.com/qgis/QGIS.git   
From https://github.com/qgis/QGIS 
* branch                    HEAD       -> FETCH_HEAD
I think this means get all the changes that have occurred prior to doing the next step,and 
given this is a fresh install no changes have occurred - but I may well be wrong.
  
then 
git rebase -i  https://github.com/qgis/QGIS.git and 
git rebase -i qgis/master
both yield: fatal: invalid upstream 'https://github.com/qgis/QGIS.git'

and at this point
git status

On branch release-3_36 
nothing to commit, working tree clean
I've worked through some of the likely problems at https://thelinuxcode.com/git-push-error-repository-not-found-fixed/[1] and all seems to be OK except for permission errors, 
although none of those raised are working with branches.

Regards
Tony
