Before you clone the GIT repository to your Tunneling Destination

1) On the Linux machine (tunneling destination)  that you will clone the github from, generate a SSH key (if not already done)

https://help.github.com/articles/generating-a-new-ssh-key-and-adding-it-to-the-ssh-agent/

2) Add a new SSH key to your GitHub account

https://help.github.com/articles/adding-a-new-ssh-key-to-your-github-account/

3) Setup for large filesystems on github

$ git lfs install

4) Setup for HTTP tunneling (required for gitlab.cern.ch)

$ git config --global http.proxy http://localhost:8888

All off these steps only need to be done once per unix account

Temporary Tunneling at SLAC

Prerequest Access to rhel6-64.

 

GitHub Access

Setup ssh-key as described above. Append the following lines to ~/.ssh/config:

 
Host github.com
    User git
    ProxyCommand ssh USER@rhel6-64.slac.stanford.edu  -W %h:%p

 

# Log into server
$ ssh rdusr219

# Source environment script
$ source /u1/DUNE/setup_env.csh

# Start the SOCKS2HTTP
$ HttpTunnelStart
Then hit enter key

# perform all your github pull/push/clone operations
$ git .......

# Stop the SOCKS2HTTP before logging out 
$ HttpTunnelStop

Temporary Tunneling at CERN (np04-srv-011)


NEWS (2017-08-29) HttpTunnel is not required anymore. Proxy server is set after sourcing setup.sh.

 

Prerequest Access to lxplus.

 

GitHub Access

Setup ssh-key as described above. Append the following lines to ~/.ssh/config:

 
Host github.com
    User git
    ProxyCommand ssh USER@lxplus.cern.ch -W %h:%p

 

GitHub LFS Access

# Log into server
$ ssh np04-srv-011

# Source environment script
$ source /nfs/sw/rce/setup.sh
 
# For development version
$ source /nfs/sw/rce/setup.sh dev

# perform all your github pull/push/clone operations
$ git .......

 

Notes

  • modify USER to your lxplus username
  • if you login to the daq machine as np04daq, you still have to use your own lxplus username in the ssh config.
  • for password-less operations, you can create a kerberos ticket by "kinit USER@CERN.CH" (replace USER to your lxplus username).
