Setup

First, create an SSH key pair

Install the key

$ scp ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub cvl_username@ece2524.ece.vt.edu:/keys/cvl_username.pub

Replace cvl_username in both places with the same username you use to connect to your shell account.

Test Authentication

$ ssh git@ece2524.ece.vt.edu info

Aim to at least get this working by start of class on Wednesday. If you get permission errors when trying to copy your key file:

1. double check that you have replaced both occurances of cvl_username with your own username.
2. Usernames are case sensitive, if you have capital letters in your ECE username be sure to use the same case in the above command.
3. Related to the previous point, if you do have capital letters in your username, even if it otherwise matchies your VT PID, this is a case of your ECE account name and VT PID being different, so send me an email alterting me so that I can update my local roster file.

get through at least here by start-of-class Wednesday, February 26

Set up a remote for motr

$ cd ~/ece2524/motr
$ git remote add origin git@ece2524.ece.vt.edu:cvl_username/motr.git
$ git remote -v

This is about as far as we got on Monday, and I know it was quite rushed. We’ll review and pick up here on Wednesday, but feel free to try the next few commands before then if you have time.

Push your repo to the server

$ git push -u origin master

Give someone else read access

$ ssh git@ece2524.ece.vt.edu perms
Usage:  ssh git@host perms -l <repo>
        ssh git@host perms <repo> - <rolename> <username>
        ssh git@host perms <repo> + <rolename> <username>
...

Get a neighbor’s username, then give them read access to your motr repo

$ ssh git@ece2524.ece.vt.edu perms your_cvl_username/motr + READERS other_username
