Fetching updates on Dreamhack?

[ninetydegrees]

How does one update their repos on their hack now? The 'old' script no longer pulls anything for me (what used to be on http://wiki.dwscoalition.org/wiki/index.php/Dev_Maintenance) and I don't understand how I can keep up with changes. :/

(Context: I'm on Windows; I use PuTTY and WinSCP).

Edit: ok, if anybody else wonders, short answer is you can no longer update your hack using old methods. :/

Edit 2: long answer is you can switch to the new system. See comments for detailed instructions. :)

I don't know if you can git to remember the password for ever, but you can definitely make it remember it for 15 minutes so that you don't have to type it more than that often.

On a dreamhack, type

git config --global credential.helper=cache

I have suggested that this be made a system-wide default on dreamhacks, along with some stuff like putting some outputs into colour.

Great minds think alike because I believe Fey has added this to http://wiki.dwscoalition.org/wiki/index.php/Git_settings. *g*
