The Spacewalk git repository is migrating to github! This will enable
better community submission interaction via the github pull request
process, instead of emailing patches to a mailing list where they can be
missed or forgotten.
As a result, you MUST update your existing git repositories to use the
github Spacewalk repository as upstream instead of the fedorahosted
repository. The fedorahosted Spacewalk repository will no longer be
updated! The github repository should currently be identical to the
fedorahosted repository, so you should be able to simply update your
origin url and proceed with whatever you were doing.
To update your existing repository, please run one of the following
commands:
git remote set-url origin g...@github.com:spacewalkproject/spacewalk.git
* Upside: If you have commit access you can upload your ssh public key
to your github account and not have to log in to github every time you
push something
* Downside: Some proxies and firewalls block the ssh ports
git remote set-url origin https://github.com/spacewalkproject/spacewalk.git
* Upside: Works even behind proxies or firewalls
* Downside: If you have commit access you will have to log in to your
github account each time you push
That's it, you are done and can continue with your life!
FAQ:
Q: Why is my github user not credited with my past commits?
A: That's probably because your github user is using a different email
address than the one that they were committed under. Simply add (and
verify) the other email address and then when github gets around to it
they'll recalculate things and attribute your commits to you.

Q: What if my github user has write access to Spacewalk but I
specifically want this clone to be read-only?
A: You... can't. The closest you can come is to use the https url above
so that you would be forced to manually type in your username / password
to push back upstream. That will at least prevent accidents. And really
that's not so different from a read-only url, because if you really
wanted to you could always change the read-only url and then push from
anywhere. Just use the https url and if it asks for your credentials
you'll know you've done something wrong.
Q: What if I had write access to the fedorahosted repository and now I
don't to the github repository?
A: Email me and I'll get you set up.
