This page describes how to use github, our version control system. This page is only relevant to software developers.

Create an account on github.com

It's free. Write to the sysadmins asking to have access to our repositories, as in https://github.com/docking-org.

Set up for ssh access

Go to https://github.com/settings/ssh and paste your public key in the box

Fork for Development

Go to https://github.com/docking-org/DOCK Click "Fork" to create your own working copy On your development machine and set the the trunk as upstream:

git clone git@github.com:[YOUR_USERNAME_HERE]/DOCK.git
git remote add origin git@github.com:[YOUR_USERNAME_HERE]/DOCK.git
git remote remove upstream
git remote add upstream git@github.com:docking-org/DOCK.git

After making some changes, save them locally on your machine:

git commit -m "I changed test/file-abc" test/file-abc

or

git commit -a -m "I changed all the files"

After a series of changes are ready to push remotely

git push

If these changes should be added to the master DOCK branch

Go to https://github.com:[YOUR_USERNAME_HERE]/DOCK.git Click "Pull Request" in the upper-right corner of the file listing Click "Click to create a pull request for this comparison" Add any additional notes you may want Press "Send pull request" If you are an administrator in the primary DOCK repository, click "Merge pull request" , add any comments wanted, then click "Confirm merge" and the changes will be added to the DOCK trunk To update your fork with the trunk

git pull upstream master
git push
