GiellaLT provides an infrastructure for rule-based language technology aimed at minority and indigenous languages, and streamlines building anything from keyboards to speech technology. Read more about Why. See also How to get started, and our Privacy document.
This document contains some useful notes for those wanting to start using Git with the GiellaLT infra (when we have moved to GitHub, planned for May 2020).
To get the regular repo dir, you will normally want to check out using a URL following this pattern:
svn co https://github.com/username/reponame.git/trunk reponame
The important part here is to append /trunk to the repo URL, so that you
avoid getting all branches and tags (unless you really want to work with them of
course). Then it is also useful to specify the plain reponame at the end, to
give the local folder a short and readable name.
The first time commit requires authentication (which is then cached for future use). Unless you have set up a Personal Access Token, you specify the username and password in the regular way:
Of course you need write access to the repo you are trying to commit to.
If you have configured a Personal Access Token instead of the username and password, you provide the token in place of the username, and an empty password. That’s it! Also in this case the provided value will be cached for future use, so there will normally not be necessary to input the token again - everything works smoothly without a question.
