[Scummvm-devel] ATTN: Moved to Git

[Willem Jan Palenstijn]

Hi all,

As of right now, the scummvm and scummvm-tools repositories use git hosted on
github. The SVN repositories for them on SF should no longer be used, although
we sadly can't close them.

The github pages for the repositories are:

https://github.com/scummvm/scummvm

https://github.com/scummvm/scummvm-tools


For instructions on getting started, see below.



Buildbot is already set up to build from the new git repository, and commit
messages will be sent to the scummvm-cvs-logs mailing list as before. (Thanks
to dhewg and ST.)


The other repositories we use (web, ...) remain on SF's SVN servers for now.


There are still quite a few things to clean up, including references to SVN in
the build system and version strings.


An in-progress document that includes the scummvm-specific Git workflow, and
will be gradually improved:

http://wiki.scummvm.org/index.php/Git_tips



Enjoy!

-Willem Jan


P.S.

If you want to play around with the test repository some more, it is still up:
https://github.com/scummvm/scummvm-test




Getting started:


The main repository github page is

https://github.com/scummvm/scummvm

That page contains the actual Git URLs you can use to access it.


If you're using the command-line git client, you can for example use
this for read-only access without a github account:

git clone git://github.com/scummvm/scummvm.git

If you already have a github account, you can use

git clone git at github.com:scummvm/scummvm.git


To get write access to the repository, you need to be added to the Developers
team of the ScummVM organization at github. For that, contact Eugene/sev or
Max/Fingolfin.


Github has a help page with information on how to access its repositories from
different operating systems at:

http://help.github.com/


For information about Git itself, its documentation can be found at
http://git-scm.com/documentation with various tutorials and reference texts.
