Getting the sources
The main IronPython/IronRuby git repository is at http://github.com/IronLanguages/main/.
You can download a zipped copy of the latest IronPython/IronRuby sources as well.
The following links include resources for installing and using GIT:
- GitHub guides
- GIT documentation – If you have never used GIT, reading the tutorial first will be a big help to finding your way around.
- Cheat sheet – Quick reference for commonly used commands
- Collaborative Github Workflow – very good description of the workflow and tips and tricks when contributing to a project hosted on GitHub.
- Jimmy’s Cheatsheet
You will first need to fork the IronLanguages project. Creating a fork is recommended as it will allow you to contribute patches back easily. Click the “Fork” button on https://github.com/IronLanguages/main/. This should create your personal fork, with a website like http://github.com/janedoe/main (where janedoe is your github username). As main is not a good descriptive name, rename the project to ironlangs in GitHub.
You can now use the git command-line client with many Linux distributions, Mac OS, Cygwin, and Windows (msysgit) to get the sources onto your local computer using the following commands:
git config —global branch.autosetupmerge true
git config —global user.name “Jane Doe”
git config —global user.email [email protected]git clone [email protected]:janedoe/ironlangs.git
cd ironlangs
git remote add ironmain git://github.com/IronLanguages/main.git
git pull ironmain master
At a later date, to get the latest updates from the IronRuby project, run the following command in the ironruby directory created above:
git pull ironmain master
If there is a merge conflict, edit the unmerged files to remove the conflict markers, and then run the following command:
git commit -a
To push your changes back to your fork and make them public, use git push.
You can skip creating a fork if you only want to browse the sources. In that case, you can clone the project directly as such:
git clone git://github.com/IronLanguages/main.git
git pull
