git Hosting

git is distributed, therefore you don't need a server. But if you want to collaborate, you will need some place where to publish your repository. (Does not need to be just one place, you can push to multiple places).

For personal projects

• Github. Lot of social and collaboration features.
• repo.or.cz. First public git hosting.
• Otherwise look here

openSUSE.org projects

We provide git repositories for some openSUSE.org related projects for which the size can be handled with our current resources.

Please send an email to dmueller at suse (.de) for information.

Web Access

• Browse current projects

This is a short explaination how to use git on opensuse.org

repos have the form people/$yourlogin/$repo.git or projects/$repo.git

Please mind the difference in the path between anonymous and authenticated urls. One has a /, the other has a :

Set your git user information correctly

To avoid commits with incorrect emails or usernames, please configure your git.

git config --global user.name "Your Name Comes Here"
git config --global user.email you@yourdomain.example.com

You can omit --global if you plan to configure that only for the repo you are standing on.

Checking your ssh key

If you are not using anonymous access, make sure the ssh key of your workstation is the one you have to the git.opensuse.org administrator. Otherwise configure ssh to send that key.

So if you have if_thekey.pub to the administrator, setup:

# ~/.ssh/config
Host git.opensuse.org
  IdentityFile ~/.ssh/id_thekey

If you gave the default key (id_rsa.pub or id_dsa.pub) you don't need to change anything.

Local repository: first push to opensuse.org

   git remote add origin git@git.opensuse.org:projects/$repo.git
   git push origin master:refs/heads/master

Will push and create your repository the first time.

Existing opensuse.org repository: first clone to local

Anonymous clone:

   git clone git://git.opensuse.org/projects/$repo.git
   (or git://git.opensuse.org/people/$yourlogin/$repo.git )

Authorized clone:

   git clone git@git.opensuse.org:projects/$repo.git
   (or git@git.opensuse.org:people/$yourlogin/$repo.git )
