It's impossible to say anything sensible unless you present us with precise commands you issue and their output. Also don't be vague in terms--statements like "submitted by ... user in my system" and then "...creating a clone on my local system ..." are virtually unparsable because it's unknown what systems are being talked about and where precistly is that branch visible if you first tell us you're even unable to clone a repository to your local box... Too much guesswork is required, you see. Anyway, [1] states that what the command "ssh ... mykexi" you described is actually a feature of KDE development infrastructure and has no direct relation to Git--it just creates a personal clone of a specified repository *on the server*, and supposedly you then have to clone that repository to your local machine to actually work on the code. [1] links to [2] which does not say much about how these personal repositories are to be accessed but from [3] I think you should use something like: $ mkdir ~/devel $ cd ~/devel $ git clone git://[email protected]/clones/kexi/YOUR_ID/mykexi kexi If I'm right, you'll end up with the ~/devel/kexi directory containing the clone of your private server-side fork of the kexi repository. You will supposedly be able to push to it. The rest is up to you as your problem appears to be rather specific to the KDE infrastructure and so you'd better ask about this in the relevant KDE mailing lists/newsgroups/forums/IRC/whatever else as we are only able to help with Git itself. Note that [4] yields a whole lot of guides and HOWTOs about using Git to participate in the KDE development, so possibly you should start from studying those resources. 1. http://community.kde.org/Sysadmin/GitKdeOrgManual#clone 2. http://community.kde.org/Sysadmin/GitKdeOrgManual#Personal_repositories 3. http://community.kde.org/Sysadmin/GitKdeOrgManual#Repository_paths 4. http://www.google.com/search?q=site%3Akde.org+Git+for+developers -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Git for human beings" group.
