I ran into a problem this morning, when setting up git to work with the Evergreen "working" repo.
Following the instructions on the wiki page http://evergreen-ils.org/dokuwiki/doku.php?id=dev:git in the section "Quick Start for Evergreen contributors", I added the remote working repo using this command: git remote add working git://git.evergreen-ils.org:working/Evergreen.git When I then ran "git fetch --all", I received the following error: $ git fetch --all Fetching origin Fetching working fatal: Unable to look up git.evergreen-ils.org (port working) (Servname not supported for ai_socktype) error: Could not fetch working A little bit of Googling indicated that the format of the URL passed to "git remote add" was incorrect; "working" was being interpreted as the port portion of the URL. The correct format is the SSH format: [email protected]:working/Evergreen.git So I ran the following: git remote rm working git remote add working [email protected]:working/Evergreen.git git fetch --all ... and everything was happy. I'm willing to update the documentation, if a more experienced git user can confirm that the URL should indeed be corrected. thanks, -- Scott
