$ git config --global user.name "Your Name Comes Here" $ git config --global user.email you@yourdomain.example.com
The Lumiera project uses an infrastructure based on Git, the distibuted sourcecode management software. This deliberately places the barrier for contributing very low: No formal “commit right” is necessary; you can start right away and present your first results in the mob repository.
For starters, follow the basic instructions for using Git, notably the following parts:
$ git config --global user.name "Your Name Comes Here" $ git config --global user.email you@yourdomain.example.com
If you followed the building-lumiera tutorial, you created already a local clone of the Lumiera repository. So you are ready to go, you can edit build and commit your changes to the lumiera code locally in your cloned repository. Please commit frequently, do small commits which fix/improve only one single thing and use meaningful commit messages.
Check that you didn’t break anything, by running the testsuite.
Finally you can push your changes to the lumiera server to the mob repository:
$ git push git://git.lumiera.org/lumiera/mob master:refs/heads/YOURNAME
This creates a new branch YOURNAME on the mob repository. Then you notify the other devs on the mailinglist and they may merge your code into the mainline.
