####Git

  • Download and install Git for Windows, leave default options. Most of the time you'll be working in Git command line terminal.
  • If you don't have an SSH key, you'll need to generate it. Start Git console and run: ssh-keygen -t rsa -C "your_email@your_domain.org", you can type your password there but then you'll need to enter it each time you want to push your changes to central Git repo; alternatively you you'd want to leave passphrase empty.
  • Now you need to have a GitHub account (register if you don't have it) and enter your public SSH key (from Documents and Settings/.ssh/id_rsa.pub) to Account Settings -> SSH Public keys
  • To check it enter ssh git@github.com in your terminal. Press yes and if you see next text, then everything is okay:
PTY allocation request failed on channel 0
Hi %username%! You've successfully authenticated, but GitHub does not provide shell access.
Connection to github.com closed.

Basic commands while working with Git:

  • Get the project: git clone git@github.com:jtalks-org/jcommune.git
  • If you changed something, you need to add it to Git: git add .
  • When you want to commit your changes (still locally though): git commit -m 'meaningful message'
  • When you want to push it to the server: git push. Note, that you must have permissions for that, so either contact us if you want to become a part of the team or use Pull Requests on GitHub.

####Maven

  • Download latest Maven
  • Unpack it to some folder and change environment variables to configure M2_HOME=folder_with_maven and also change PATH variable to include %M2_HOME%/bin.
  • Run mvn --version to check whether your command line now sees Maven executables.
