2010/3/22 Kolbjørn Stuestøl <[email protected]>:
I just downloaded my n^_th_ clone to a new folder using
$ git clone ssh://[email protected]/git/gimp-help-2
And mysteriously wonder, I got "Already up-to-date." when running "git
pull".
No I am going to change some of my po files, running some git
commands on
them and try "git pull". Hoping it works :-)
'git pull --rebase' is used to retrieve any updates that have been
added to git.gnome.org,
since you last cloned/pulled.
It is recommended to use the 'git up' alias instead of 'git pull
--rebase'.
There is an issue when you just use 'git pull' instead of 'git pull
--rebase', so
we advise against using the plain 'git pull'.
With 'git commit ...' you add your changes to your local clone.
One you run 'git push', all your additional commits in your local
clone will be sent to git.gnome.org.
Until you do 'git push', you do not affect in any way git.gnome.org.
Once you 'git push', have a look at your addition at
http://git.gnome.org/browse/gimp-help-2/
A common issue when you 'git push' is that the repository at
'git.gnome.org' may have changed;
for example, another translator may have just added their translation.
You can verify at
http://git.gnome.org/ In this case, what you do is 'git up' to update
your local clone and then 'git push'.
I'll be back if the git push do not works. I have a slow internet
connection
(via satellite), so it will take some time.
The workflow with git is that you establish your local clones of the
repositories
you are interested in, and then you 'git up' to update those you need
in order
to submit translations. All of GNOME 2.30 is about 3GB, while GIMP is
about 300MB.
I am not sure what speeds you get when you 'git clone'. If you get
slow-ish speeds
compared to what you get when you download files with Firefox (HTTP
protocol),
it might be easier to have the 'git clone' performed on some Internet
server and
then compress it to a ZIP file. Then, you use a download manager (or
Firefox)
to download this single ZIP file and finally extract the repositories.
If cloning speed is an issue to you, ask me for more details on this.
