Okay.

Our URL is: https://github.com/TIBCOSoftware/genxdm .

If you have not done so already, please do a clone and set up your
working copy and an Eclipse workspace (assuming that you're using
eclipse). By far your best bet is to create a new Eclipse workspace.
You'll probably need to update Eclipse, before ensuring that you have
Egit (the Eclipse git plugin) installed. Once you do that, the initial
clone will show up as wonderfully broken. How exciting.

I've verified that it builds on the command line, and that it builds in
eclipse, and that I can do pushes and pulls. If you had already cloned
before receiving this email, please pull (or fetch and merge, but pull
is supposed to be easier).

Some notes: git config:
https://git-scm.com/book/tr/v2/Customizing-Git-Git-Configuration . You
may also wish to change your push.default : you really *do* want to
change it to simple (it won't cross-connect branches by accident if you
do so, and that's what the default is going to be soon enough, so just
do that).

git clone is your checkout

git fetch is sort of like a subversion update, or you could argue that
git pull is; figure them both out, please :-)

git status shows what changes you've made locally

git add adds a modified or new file to the next commit

git commit -m "message goes here" doesn't actually merge the commit
with the repository on github! but it is required before the second
step, which is:

git push actually updates the github repository

And there are variations on all of these things, and more that can be
done, and the Egit plugin is prolly our initial GUI tool.

If you see weird errors in the build, feel free to ask about them. In
fact, if you see any weirdness at all, just ask, and let's get everyone
up to speed and reasonably satisfied with the new repo.

Note: all of our issues have had the owners/reporters/etc. filed off of
them in the move. We'll need to fix this, over time.

Big kudos to Eric for getting the relatively automated form of transfer
working.

Note that the googlecode location will be switched over to 'moved
repository' once I'm satisfied that I don't need to pull any more
information off of it, via their administrative interface.

Amy!

Thanks, Amy.  My clone is building nicely & I see no problems after installing the egit plugin.
