= Does May First/People Link have a shared git installation I can use? =

Yes. If you would like access to it, please start by [/newticket opening a ticket]. Include:

 * your [wiki:public_private_key_generation public ssh key] 
 * The name of the project you would like to setup (please try to make the name specific)
 * Whether you want to enable public access or not

Once we've completed the setup, you can use your repository by taking the following steps:

 * Create a bare repository on your development machine:
{{{
mkdir myproject
cd myproject
git init
}}}
 * Next, add a file or two
{{{
touch README
git add README
git commit README
}}}
 * Next add the MFPL git repo as a remote:
{{{
git remote add origin gitosis@git.mayfirst.org:myproject.git
}}}
 * And then the moment of truth:
{{{
git push origin master:refs/heads/master
}}}
 * If you don't want to specify origin master:refs/heads/master every time you want to push, you can edit your .git/config file and copy the fetch line in the origin stanza, replacing fetch with push. For example:
{{{
[remote "origin"]
  url = gitosis@git.mayfirst.org:myproject.git
  fetch = +refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/origin/*
  push = +refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/origin/*
}}}
