If you are a committer, then you can fetch a copy of the repository
that you can push back on with:
- git clone ssh://perl5.git.perl.org/gitroot/perl.git perl-ssh
+ git clone ssh://perl5.git.perl.org/perl.git perl-ssh
This clones the repository and makes a local copy in the F<perl-ssh>
directory.
change that to something like this:
[remote "origin"]
- url = ssh://perl5.git.perl.org/gitroot/perl.git
-
-NOTE: there are symlinks set up so that the /gitroot is optional and
-since SSH is the default protocol you can actually shorten the "url" to
-C<perl5.git.perl.org:/perl.git>.
+ url = ssh://perl5.git.perl.org/perl.git
You can also set up your user name and e-mail address. For example
The C<fetch> command just updates the C<camel> refs, as the objects
themselves should have been fetched when pulling from C<origin>.

+The committers have SSH access to the two servers that serve
C<perl5.git.perl.org>. One is C<perl5.git.perl.org> itself (I<camel>),
which is the 'master' repository. The second one is
C<users.perl5.git.perl.org> (I<dromedary>), which can be used for
general testing and development. Dromedary syncs the git tree from
camel every few minutes, you should not push there. Both machines also

+These hosts have fairly strict firewalls to the outside. Outgoing, only
+rsync, ssh and git are allowed. For http and ftp, you can use
+http://webproxy:3128 as proxy. Incoming, the firewall tries to detect
+attacks and blocks IP addresses with suspicious activity. This
+sometimes (but very rarely) has false positives and you might get
+blocked. The quickest way to get unblocked is to notify the admins.

+These two boxes are owned, hosted, and operated by booking.com. You can
+reach the sysadmins in #p5p on irc.perl.org or via mail to
+C<perl5-porters@perl.org>
