does dmca push us further toward distributed rev control?

Find EGit in the eclipse "Help -> Install New Software" function. Install, restart eclipse. Then do "File -> Import...", select "Git -> Projects from Git". Click "Clone". The URI is "git@gitorious.org:cardforge/cardforge.git", then just "Next" and "Finish" until it's copied down.

that URI did not work for me. i used "git://gitorious.org/cardforge/cardforge.git" instead. Rob, is that a problem?

The git address is read-only, so you won't be able to push using it, you need to use the ssh address functinoal so that you can actually commit your work.

you need ssh://git@gitorious.org/cardforge/cardforge.git otherwise you get read only repository; you can change the push / pull url later

ah, like using http instead of https for SVN. ok, so my directions won't help developers, just alpha testers who like using eclipse -- a dying breed once we get maven uploading nightly builds. i'll figure out the ssh keys and update the getting started guide, perhaps within 24 hours.

thank you, Sol!

I had been looking at the current settings. When you click the option to change protocols, it reformats the address as necessary. I didn't exactly realize what had happened.

Is something in this screenshot incorrect? I made a public key, etc.

I am getting an Auth Failed.

I have finally been able to Git with the program. Tomorrow I try to figure out how to grab the latest changes, but for now, I have a local repository and a working Forge.

I edited the new Getting_Started_Guide wiki a number of times and it now looks like the Mac OS software install portion is in good shape.

Does the main wiki have a link to this Getting_Started_Guide?

i plan to move the guide to the main wiki once it is out of the pre-alpha stage. i have to figure out the ssh keys and updating the remote repository.

thanks for your Mac OS edits! i rearranged them quite a bit to reduce duplication. you also reminded me that Win XP has support for zip files in the OS, so i took out the plug for ZipGenius.

@Chris H., there are some TODOs i marked specifically for you {TODO: Chris H.:} in the draft Getting_Started_Guide. if you could address those, i'd surely appreciate it.

Can do.

The mac files are named:

eclipse-SDK-3.7-macosx-cocoa-x86_64.tar.gz
eclipse-SDK-3.7-macosx-cocoa.tar.gz

I installed eclipse several times today to get some experience for this Getting_Started_Guide. One time I had to select the plugins in the list and another time I did not. I will add in a warning of some sort.

OK, for those who are curious about ssh keys, use the eclipse help menu and type in ssh.

Your browser will have a list of items. Click on EGit User Guide. It looks informative. I hope this helps the process.

yes, that's where i got started, too. if anyone finds any errors in the pre-alpha Getting Started Guide https://www.gitorious.org/cardforge/pages/Getting_Started_Guide regarding key generation, please edit it or let me know! thanks.

[Braids]

the new getting started guide https://www.gitorious.org/cardforge/pages/Getting_Started_Guide is now ready for alpha test. using it, i was able to push a change to the repo on gitorious.

to those of you who have successfully been using EGit: please read and review the document for correctness.

to those of you who have been having trouble, please try the instructions in the document to see if they are helpful to you.

because gitorious's wiki doesn't handle concurrent editing very well, please do not edit the document. instead, please post your comments here.

thank you, and good night.

Eclipse just hangs for me at "Getting remote branches information". Anyone see this problem or know how to fix?

@Braids, et al - nice work on the Guide. Very helpful.

Is it hanging in the step {Wait a bit for the Clone Git Repository window to update its list of branches.}?

• Go to your dashboard https://gitorious.org/.
• Click Manage SSH Keys.
• Is there a green check mark under the Ready? column for your key?

@Braids, et al - nice work on the Guide. Very helpful.

thank you! i hope we can get it working for you.
