Hi,

I'm a GIT idiot, so I need a little help on getting a properly setup repo at linuxtv.org. Can someone tell me if this is the right procedure:

$ ssh -t [email protected] git-menu
        (clone linux-2.6.git naming it v4l-dvb  <-- Is this right?)
$ git clone \
	git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git \
        v4l-dvb
$ cd v4l-dvb
$ git remote add linuxtv http://linuxtv.org/git/v4l-dvb.git
$ git remote add awalls ssh://linuxtv.org/git/awalls/v4l-dvb.git
$ git remote update

and then what? Something like

$ git checkout -b cxfoo linuxtv/master

to develop changes for some Conexant chips for example???

Thanks,
Andy

Whatever name you choose. v4l-dvb is just a suggestion.

Quoted 9 lines

$ git clone \
	git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git \

$ git remote update

and then what?

$ git checkout -b cxfoo linuxtv/master

Something like that. You need to create a working branch, based on one of the remote branches, and work on it.

The last changes are currently at devel/for_v2.6.34 (with some patches that will go soon to upstream). So, in order to work against them, you would need to use, instead:

	$ git checkout -b cxfoo linuxtv/devel/for_v2.6.34

OK. So cloning /linuxtv.org/git/linux-2.6.git, and not
the /linuxtv.org/git/v4l-dvb.git, with git-menu is the proper way to set up a tree on linuxtv.org, correct?.

(git push didn't work right if I cloned /linuxtv.org/git/v4l-dvb.git with git-menu. I got an error message about'fast-forward' commits and not losing data.)

If I understand correctly, you won't be working on that repository directly (i.e. no working directory on the linuxtv server, only push/fetch(pull), and the actual work on your local machine), you should make it a bare repository by passing a --bare option to clone.

There's a slight misunderstanding here. The ssh command runs the git-menu application on the server. It doesn't open an interactive shell. The git clone command is then run locally, where a working directory is needed.

Ah, I though the clone was executed remotely as well. Please ignore my post then and thanks to Laurent for noticing :)
