Can't think why not.

You four could have accounts so you can comment, and do whatever else
you configure it to allow.  And reports of possible problems from users
could filter through you lot in the existing ways, email and forum, to
save them the bother of registering and learning yet another thing.
They can always open the issue's link posted on the forum to read
discussion and progress, and register if motivated.

Cheers, Ralph.

Re: [Dorset] Using Github as a Bug Tracker

[Natalie Masse Hooper]

At Google, I worked on a few open source projects hosted on Github, in
particular this one https://github.com/googlesamples/android-architecture
We used Github issues as a bug tracker and it was working quite well. As
you can see, we were using labels to sort the issues, we found this
necessary but we had a lot of issues coming in (as  you can see, it's quite
a popular project), you may not need to do this for yours. But yes, I would
recommend using it - you can comment on an issue, close an issue etc It
does the job of bug tracking (not as powerful/flexible as paid for bug
tracking software but much simpler to use so probably much better for your
project).

Hi,

I'm trying to install Sonic Pi on my Kubuntu box (it's installed by default on 
the Pi,
but I thought it would be useful to have it running on my main machine).  There 
are
binary packages for Windows, Mac and the Pi, but nothing for x86 / amd64 based
Linux machines, so I thought I'd download the source and build it from scratch.
Unfortunately, I've stumbled at the first hurdle; getting the code from GitHub.

A quick google threw up 
https://www.miskatonic.org/2015/01/17/setting-up-sonic-pi-on-ubuntu/[1] .

About two screenfulls down it says, (amongst other things) to run:
git clone g...@github.com:samaaron/sonic-pi.git

This gives me:

terry@Optiplex:/usr/local/src$ sudo git clone g...@github.com:samaaron/sonic-
pi.git
Cloning into 'sonic-pi'...

Please make sure you have the correct access rights
and the repository exists.

A visit to the web page at https://github.com/samaaron/sonic-pi/[2]
implies that I need to sign up to access the code, so how do I do that from the
command line?

(I appreciate that once I'm signed up I can do what I want on the web page, but 
I'd
like to know how to do it through the console.)

(I have also spotted that I can download the whole thing as a zip file and this 
is
currently ongoing, but I'd still like to know how to do it the console way.)


Hi Terry,

I don't believe you can sign up to GitHub via the command line.

You'll have to use the https clone URL: 
https://github.com/samaaron/sonic-pi.git


The schema-less URL uses ssh. You do indeed have to have a GitHub 
account to use those, even for read-only access.

No, you don't need to sign up.

On the right-hand side of that page, should see "You can clone with
HTTPS, SSH, or Subversion" below a box with a URI in it. It should
already be labelled "HTTPS clone URL", in which case that's the one you
want.

If not, click on the 'HTTPS' link below the box, and it will show you
the right one.

When you click in that box it will highlight the entire URL ready for
you to copy and paste.

Tim.

Hi Terry,
I'd also have thought that you would not want to be doing this with sudo -
just say 'git clone ...' from your regular account.
best of luck

The reason I was using sudo is that the page that I referenced (and Sam 
Aaron's documentation) puts the code into /usr/src.

Thanks Tim.  That'll teach me to believe everything I read on the internet :-)
