Requesting git repositories is managed by an Infra self-service which is located at http://reporeq.apache.org. Go to that website an request the new git repository. Note, that the repository name has to be the component name. So for example for Commons CLI, the repository name had to be "cli". This generated "commons-cli" as generated name.
Migrate code to new repository
- Clone the new Git repository: git clone https://git-wip-us.apache.org/repos/asf/commons-foo.git
2. Add the already existing GitHub mirror as new remote: git remote add GitHub git@github.com:apache/commons-foo.git 3. Create the master branch: git checkout -b master 4. Add all commits from the mirrored trunk branch from the GitHub mirror to the master branch: git fetch github trunk && git merge github/trunk 5. Add all other branches and tags to your local repository 6. push everything to the new repository
Update pom and website
Ensure that the SCM references in the POM and on the website are updated as soon as possible after the Git repo goes live.
