Switching to Git For Committers

Cassandra is transitioning from subversion to git. See https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/INFRA-4254 for the latest status on this.

How do I commit now?

First, clone the repository with your username in the URL

git clone https://<username>@git-wip-us.apache.org/repos/asf/cassandra.git

Log into your Github account, visit https://github.com/apache/cassandra, and mash the "Fork" button.

If you need to connect an existing local repository:

$ git remote add github ssh://git@github.com/<username>/cassandra.git
$ git fetch github

To publish a branch for review (for a checkout of the branch):

$ git push github <branch name>

If you later wish to delete this remote branch (say after it's been reviewed, merged, etc):

$ git push github :<branch name>
