Good work Adrien,

It was clear enough to me.
There is one thing I am missing.
Once you make your private fork of gambas on gitLab, how do you keep it updated with the gambas project at gitLab?
Is this an automated thing or do we have to do something. Maybe something to add to your excellent guide.
