h1. Cloning OpenCV git repository

* Main repository

<pre>git clone git://code.opencv.org/opencv.git</pre>

* Additional repository that contains auxiliary stuff, like datasets for running tests

<pre>git clone git://code.opencv.org/opencv_extra.git</pre>

h1.
Working with OpenCV git repository (pushing)

h2. Instruction for Ubuntu users:

* 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.

* Clone the repository as described onto your machine. There is the link to the repository in the Git Repository section above. Run of the following command in local repository folder to be able to push changes

project's page at: http://code.opencv.org/projects/opencv. Using this link form and run a relevant command: <pre>git remote set-url origin --push clone [email protected]:opencv.git</pre> in a corresponding folder.

h2. Instruction for Windows users:

* 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.
* Generate SSH access key:
** Launch Git Bash (file git-bash.bat in msysgit folder).
** Run <pre>ssh-keygen -t rsa -C "[email protected]"</pre> with the console. The output will contain information on where it stored the keys.
** Go to that directory and open the public key (id_rsa.pub) with any text editor.
** Copy contents of the file id_rsa.pub to the Key field on the http://code.opencv.org/my/account page. Press Create.
* Clone repository, using 'quick' read-only protocol (git://code.opencv.org/opencv.git).
* 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.
