Good evening/morning/afternoon. So once everyone gets me their ssh public key
you can start developing on felix. The instructions are slightly different than
for the read only access. You will need to use this pattern:
{{{
> git clone felix...@felix-lang.org:$NAME
}}}
Like this:
{{{
> git clone felix...@felix-lang.org:felix
}}}
Or if you already are using git, you can do this:
{{{
> git remote rm origin
> git remote add origin felix...@felix-lang.org:felix
> git fetch origin
}}}
To commit, do:
{{{
> git push origin
}}}
We're also using submodules now to make it easier to track external projects.
Unfortunately they don't update themselves when they're updated. So, when they
change, run:
{{{
> git submodule update
}}}
If you want to modify a submodule, there are some things you have to do. First,
you'll need to change from the read-only repository to the writable one:
{{{
> cd src/compiler/dypgen
> git remote rm origin
> git remote add origin felix...@felix-lang.org:dypgen
> git checkout felix
}}}
Then make your changes. Make sure your changes are to the felix branch instead
of the master branch, as the master branch will track the remote project. After
you've made your change, you need to commit to the submodule first, then push
the result back to the server. Finally, go back to the felix directory and
commit the submodule version change:
{{{
> cd src/compiler/dypgen
> git checkout felix
... edit files
> git commit -a -m "committing changes to dypgen"
> git push origin
> cd ../../..
> git commit -a -m "committing submodule change to felix"
}}}
Next on to commit messages. The git tools are written to assume that the first
line is used as the title, and should be 50 characters or less. The examples
I've seen are along the lines of:
{{{
Add feature X to Y.
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing
elit. Proin a felis in mi placerat commodo.
* foo bar
* baz
}}}
`gitk --all` and `git gui` are wonderful tools. If you're on the mac,
[gitx](http://gitx.frim.nl) is also really nice, but it doesn't completely
replace the other tools.
