Step-by-step guide
This assumes a GitHub account and access to SLAC Lab.
- Find the repo on SLAC Lab
- Click "Fork" in the upper right corner. In the window that pops up, click the link that says [Your User Name]/devPanel (Mine says that I've already forked it, but yours should ask you where you want to fork it)
- It should automatically redirect you to your new GitHub fork. From there, click the green "Clone or Download" button and copy the ssh path. If you see what looks like a URL, click the blue "Use SSH" link right above it
- Back on an OPI (or ssh'ed in), type "set_profile [Your Username]". This should take you to your personal physics directory. Make a new devPanel subdirectory
- In that subdirectory, run "git init"
- Still in that subdirectory, type "~/mgibbs/link_repo_to_github/link_repo_to_github.sh -i" and follow the prompts (if you don't feel like thinking about the AFS repo, you can use this default, but you should paste in the GitHub ssh link you got in Step 4 for your fork or you'll connect to mine! You'll get slightly different messages since I've already run this before)
- What is AFS? It's the file system that exists in mcclogin and rhel6-64. You can't access it from lcls-srv01 (the physics account that launches when you launch a terminal from an OPI), but you can think about it like another directory tree that you have to ssh into to see.
- Type "git pull origin master" and type in your password when prompted (again, messages will be slightly different since I've done this before)
