* Upload shh-key to the server. If you haven't created any, do it with the following command: <pre>ssh-keygen -t rsa -f ~/.ssh/id_rsa</pre> Leave the Passphrase empty. Then copy contents of the file  ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub to the Key field on the  http://code.opencv.org/my/account page. Press Create. Run <pre>ssh-add ~/.ssh/id_rsa</pre> command. It may be critical on some versions of Ubuntu.

* Download and install an up-to-date version of msysgit from its official site: http://code.google.com/p/msysgit/downloads/list. There is also the portable version (_PortableGit-1.7.11-preview20120710.7z_), which you need only to unpack to get access to the console version of Git. Supposing that for some of us it could be quite enough.

* Download and install the GUI for Git. There are two popular alternatives:

** TortoiseGit is free, open source (GPL v2). It can be downloaded from http://code.google.com/p/tortoisegit/downloads/list. It has different versions for 32 and 64 bit, so be careful. While installing, locate your msysgit (if it doesn't do that automatically) and choose OpenSHH... (Not PLink... Pytty...!).

** SmartGit is also free, but for non-commercial use only. Written in Java, which can be installed automatically if needed. SmartGit can be downloaded from: http://www.syntevo.com/smartgit/download.html?all=true.  Portable Archive (includes JRE) is recomended for download. It only requires unpacking and locating msysgit on first launch.

** Run <pre>ssh-keygen -t rsa -C  "[email protected]"</pre>  with the console. The output will contain information on where it stored the keys.

* Launch Git Bash again and go to the folder that you've cloned the repository to ('.git' folder should have appeared there). Run the following command: <pre>git remote set-url origin --push [email protected]:opencv.git</pre> to be able to push changes to the repository.

* That's it. You may try making some changes to commit and push them for the test run.
