NFS Cloning from Github

[MJ]

This article is a part of email thread with Intel Lab. -- Li Zhao and two other Intel interns
I am posting this in the hopes it helps someones who feel difficult to clone NFS -- some information, which is not directly related to git cloning is removed.

Thanks MJ for your detailed response.  I am now able to download the code.
Li: I will give you the code tomorrow morning. Or, if you have gmail address, I can forward there.

Thanks

Hi all,
First of all, I appreciate your interest in NFS.
As I emailed to Adwait two weeks ago, there is no problem to download the source code from the github repo.

I believe only the reason why you guys stuck in the error message, something like “fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly” is that your SSH keys have NEVER been registered in github, which in turn reject your accesses, not the problem of NFS website or repo.
If you had never experienced the github, which is the most popular open source repo, I would recommend you guys to first get used to how to use it. If not, please check the existing SSH key on your computer, and add it to github. -- if there is no SSH key that you have, please generate new SSH key using ssh-keygen and add it to github. You are able to get the further information about how to use SSH, ssh-keygen with Googling or manpage of any linux.

After adding the SSH key, you can SSH to github in order to make sure everything is working, like this way:
$ ssh -T g...@github.com
# Attempts to ssh to github

You may see this warning:
# The authenticity of host 'github.com (207.97.227.239)' can't be established.
# RSA key fingerprint is 16:27:ac:a5:76:28:2d:36:63:1b:56:4d:eb:df:a6:48.
# Are you sure you want to continue connecting (yes/no)?

Don't worry, this is supposed to happen. Verify that the fingerprint matches the one here and type "yes". A
fter testing everything out, you can clone NFS the following description (which is same with ones on the NFS website):

$ git clone g...@github.com:mj-nvram/NFS.git Cloning into 'NFS'...
remote: Counting objects: 67, done.
remote: Compressing objects: 100% (46/46), done.
remote: Total 67 (delta 31), reused 53 (delta 19) Receiving objects: 100% (67/67), 77.18 KiB | 70 KiB/s, done.
Resolving deltas: 100% (31/31), done.

If you guys meet the trouble again, please see more:

P.S)
We don’t provide any tarball because of repo tracking issues. But, I strongly believe that cloning the NFS is super easy, once you get used to github and ssh.
Thank you.

Best,
MJ
