| To pull from $MODULE in $TYPE you'd use this command (where TYPE is 'apps', 'bindings', 'xfce', etc): | In short: If you don't have a ssh account and just want a read-only copy of the source, you'll want to do: |
| |
| <code>git clone ssh://$USERNAME@git.xfce.org/git/$TYPE/$MODULE</code> | <code>git clone git://git.xfce.org/$TYPE/$MODULE</code> |
| |
| This will automatically set up the 'origin' remote in the cloned repository to point to that location, so a "git push" will do the right thing. If your local username is the same as your git.xfce.org ssh username, you can omit the ''$USERNAME@'' portion of the URL. | or |
| |
| Unfortunately, we cannot support https pushes at this time due to limitations in the Git http protocol support. | <code>git clone http://git.xfce.org/git/$TYPE/$MODULE</code> |

| Read-only clones can be obtained via: | ''$TYPE'' is one of 'apps', 'bindings', 'xfce', etc. See the italicized group names in the [[http://git.xfce.org/|CGit index]]. |

| |
| <code>git clone http://git.xfce.org/git/$TYPE/$MODULE</code> | Before you even think about pushing changes, you must set your name and email address to something valid in your **local** Git config: |
| |
| Viewing of the repository in a web browser is provided by a CGit instance at http://git.xfce.org/. | <code>git config --global user.name "J. Random Hacker" |
| | git config --global user.email jrandom@example.com</code> |
| | |
| | **Also**, you must subscribe this address to the [[http://foo-projects.org/mailman/listinfo/xfce4-commits|xfce4-commits]] mailing list. If you don't wish to receive mail from this list, you can disable mail delivery. If you do not subscribe, commit notifications will not go to the list. We're working on a way to remove this requirement, but for now you will need to be subscribed. At the moment, committing with an @xfce.org email doesn't put that requirement thus you can run the command above without the ''%%--global%%'' option in your individual Xfce projects. |

| | If you have a ssh account, you can clone a repository with: |
| | |
| | <code>git clone ssh://$USERNAME@git.xfce.org/git/$TYPE/$MODULE</code> |
| | |
| | This will automatically set up the 'origin' remote in the cloned repository to point to that location, so a "git push" will do the right thing. If your local username is the same as your git.xfce.org ssh username, you can omit the ''$USERNAME@'' portion of the URL. |
| | |
| | Unfortunately, we cannot support https pushes at this time due to limitations in the Git http protocol support. If you are unable to communicate with git.xfce.org on port 22, ''git push'' will not work for you. |

| For 'Goodies' developers, we used to have an "open repository creation" policy in our Subversion repo in which any user with write access could create a new module for a new project. With the move to Git, this is no longer possible. You will need to request the creation of a new Git repo by emailing [[xfce-repo-admin@xfce.org]] to request a new module. Please include the module name, which category it should be under (apps, art, bindings, libs, panel-plugins, or thunar-plugins), a description of the module, and a rationale as to why it should be hosted on git.xfce.org (instead of github, gitorious, etc.). Note that requests to be added to the 'admin,' 'archive,' or 'xfce' categories will be denied. | For 'Goodies' developers, we used to have an "open repository creation" policy in our Subversion repo in which any user with write access could create a new module for a new project.
