first pass at a gitorious FAQ
== Git and Gitorious FAQs ==

=== How do I create an account on git.sugarlabs.org? ===

[http://git.sugarlabs.org/users/new Register] using the link on the upper right menu on the Home Page.

=== How do I create a fork of an existing project? ===

Click on the Repositories Tab of the project page in Gitorious. Click on "Mainline". A link will appear on the right-hand side of the page saying, "Clone repository"

=== What if my project has a binary blob? ===

You may have to use the --force flag.

git push -fv

=== How do I stay in sync with translations being pushed from the Pootle server? ===

Periodically—in my experience, on Fridays—updates to the project .po files are pushed from the Localization Team.

Use
git-pull
to periodically pull these updates to the local copy of your project.

Also, run
python setup.py fix_manifest
to update the .mo files after updating the .po files

=== How do I update the Tag field in Gitorious? ===

git tag -m "Release 36" v36 HEAD
git push --tags

=== As a maintainer, how do I merge a patch? ===

git-pull does a combination of fetch and merge, so to merge a patch...

git pull git://git.sugarlabs.org/myproject/myproject-clone.git master

=== Where do I put the .xo file for my project? ===

We are using addons.sugarlabs.org to host Activity bundles. Create an account and put your project's .xo file there.

=== Where do I put the source tarball for my project? ===

download.sugarlabs.org:/var/www-sugarlabs/download/sources/

=== Where should I document my project? ===

Please create a subpage in the wiki under Activities, e.g., [[Activities/TurtleArt]]

[[Category:ActivityTeam]]
