How to create multiple git repositories in one sourceforge project

Source forge explains that first I have to create a shell service (https://sourceforge.net/p/forge/documentation/Shell%20Service/). For example in git bash:

ssh -t [email protected] create

with USER my user name. It works perfectly well.

Then sourceforge explains how to access the repo (https://sourceforge.net/p/forge/documentation/Git/?version=4). First I have to navigate to the git repo with:

cd /home/scm_git/P/PR/PROJECTUNIXNAME

with:

  • PROJECTUNIXNAME the UNIX name of the project
  • P the first letter of that name,
  • and PR the first two letters of the name

I am trying that with my protoframework project, with:

cd /home/scm_git/p/pr/protoframework

But i have the following error in the bash:

bash: cd: /home/scm_git/p/pr/protoframework: No such file or directory

What did I do wrong?

I also tried without the pr with:

cd /home/scm_git/p/protoframework

But had the same error.

If I try the same kind of command but for other content (for example project-web), it works fine.

Solution

  • I found the correct path:

    cd /home/scm_git/p/protoframework/CODE.git

    with CODE the name chosen for the git repo when creating the project. So by default this will be:

    cd /home/scm_git/p/protoframework/code.git

    After that step, the sourceforge wiki is correct. For example to create a repo called myrepo:

    git --git-dir=myrepo init --shared=all --bare
