Any suggestions?

Hey Sinclair,

What application produced this message? What were trying to accomplish?

Best, Thomas

And another question if I may: what operating system are you using?

Basically, your computer is warning you that the IP address of the computer at pavlovia.org has changed and it’s worried that this may be someone pretending to be pavlovia.org.

In this case that isn’t an issue. We know why the IP address has changed (to 178.33.123.45) but you’ll need to let you computer know that. It should hopefully have given you some clue in that message about what file need changing in order to fix it (a “knownhosts” file). Find that file and remove the old entry referring to pavlovia.org and next time it should sync just fine.

Thomas,

I apologize for not seeing this earlier; It has been a crazy few days. I was able to reset and push it. Changing the git would not work; It had to be deleted and started as new.

Thank you for your response and I hope you are having a better week than last week!
