Hi Thomas,
OOPS I am sorry, I somehow have not mailed this to web-hurd. Anyways this is the procedure I sent to other GSoC participants. Thanks
for the interest.
As we had planned in last week's meeting (August, 1st 2008) I have setup
a backup repository at
github.com. Even though tschwinge has got things done to
have a wiki repository at savannah this still continues to exist as a backup if something
goes wrong some time and tschwinge is not available at the time. This is in no way to
disagree with what he has done (I have lots of respect for him and for the work he is
doing to Hurd) or to compete with the actual Hurd Wiki. This backup is only to keep
GSoC projects going smoothly if something breaks down and we have no one to fix it.
The details of getting the commit access is as follows.
1. First of all please register at
github.com(The procedure is really simple. It should
not take more than 2 minutes to complete the registration procedure.)
2. Upload the SSH Keys to your account at
github.com
This is the procedure to upload the keys if by any chance you are looking how to do
it on
github.com.
Step a)address@hidden:~$
ssh-keygen -t rsa
Generating public/private rsa key pair.
Enter file in which to save the key (/home/madhu/.ssh/id_rsa): <enter>
Enter passphrase (empty for no passphrase): <enter password>
Enter same passphrase again: <re-enter password>
Your identification has been saved in /home/madhu/.ssh/id_rsa.
Your public key has been saved in /home/madhu/.ssh/id_rsa.pub.
The key fingerprint is:
50:43:77:c6:97:af:61:82:dc:ea:9b:6b:67:d4:1b:61 address@hidden
address@hidden:~/.ssh$
cat id_rsa.pub
ssh-rsa AAAAB3NzaC1yc2EAAAABIwAAAQEA3kK2crfD2K2iPdbr3vBxNbI4s645zNiQJt4pL771D8zCPGFs3oFVSMxMcAZ+LghTWa8J7SwYkaDGsRxAnZ7HH0C9Z+kjfzkS1pPzNlRwOZgsD/hTUm6TBbYNy1gBROSCyShiivNAGAp/iaa5L1wdoz2JR1Yyw8KR0FoZNv1qHJiMPv30fpptKKxsLUnh/36Nwmto8t06Y2fxZ4uU3ki3/kIaK/wSyWJn0RdvHNiRbKmSZHXPu+zUpo135jCXbH9eYrq77w7h2c/F8qCeggs9y95qG0LnwELDvyuSU9CV1lPmMJKrL2qPlXWFP3PX83SxK7z9W1+iQsDJ2DUsqg3BMw== address@hidden
Copy this key from ssh-rsa upto address@hidden(this will be different for you of course)
Step c) Now login to your account at
github.com. Click on the account link next to your login
name at the right top corner of the screen. In the accounts page that appears under the
section called SSH Public Keys click on "add another public key". Give some title as
you wish and paste the key you have copied in the previous step into the text area
provided for Keys. Click on Add Key.
3. After this please send me out (preferably through email) your login names at
github.com I will add that to the list of committers.
4. To clone the repository, the public clone URL is
git://github.com/madhusudancs/hurdwiki.gitand those who want to clone the repository to commit can use this
address@hidden:madhusudancs/hurdwiki.gitYou can use the former one if the latter does not work before adding your
name to the list of committers. (But me being online for most part of the
the day, adding your name to the committers list should not take much time).
You can always switch the URL your git uses by using a couple of very simple
commands if you want to do so for committing.
This should give the commit access. Thanks for tolerating with me. I wish this
repository will be of some use to all of you.
