Another post about moving dreamhack to github

[kimira]

Hi, I haven't done much with my dreamhack in a while, but the recent post made me want to try moving it to github. Only I've become stuck at the very beginning of the process. The wiki page linked me to a page about github which linked me to a crach course on git (as I haven't used it before), and this linked me eventually to a place to download git for my OS (windows) but there are two versions there ("Git for Windows" and "msysGit") and I don't know which one I'm supposed to use.

Okay, here we go, a better revised instruction set for this:

And that's working well for me so far! :)

Only problem right now: using the 'dwu' script for dw-free and nonfree:


dh-yvi@newhack:~/dw$ dwu
Already up-to-date.

Any ideas?

I don't think we've updated the dwu script yet! We're still trying to hash out the particular steps we want to use. If you try the update instructions manually, does that work?

When you do this:

git remote

What is listed?

Also:

git remote show dreamwidth
git remote show origin

I have updated the scripts based on the manual commands but not tried it yet.
