Collaboration on GitHub

This page gives guidelines for distributed Django development.

1. Install git

If you want to learn more about git, see ​the git webpage or ​the git cheat sheet for a quick overview.

Ubuntu

As of January 2009, the latest git release is 1.6.1. As there are many improvements compared with older releases (notably, a single executable), it is advisable to use this version instead of the ones provided in the Ubuntu release repositories. There is ​a personal package archive that provides git 1.6.1 backports to all Ubuntu releases since Hardy.

Installation instructions:

  1. add the following line to /etc/apt/sources.list (substituting UBUNTU_RELEASE_NAME with the Ubuntu release you are using): 
    deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/smartlounge/ubuntu UBUNTU_RELEASE_NAME main
  2. install git: 
    $ apt-get update
$ apt-get install git
  3. verify that the correct version was installed: 
    $ git --version
git version 1.6.1

2. Register an account on GitHub

Go to ​https://github.com/signup/free and follow the instructions.

2. Fork the automatically updated copy of Django trunk on GitHub

Note: See TracWiki for help on using the wiki.
