quassel clone¶

Setup your personal clone of quassel. Go to http://gitorious.org/quassel/quassel/clone and choose a name like yournicks-quassel.

Switch to your preferred directory for your projects like /home/yournick/projects. Now you can clone the personal quassel clone to your local machine.

ssh key¶

To push changes you will need a SSH key pair. To generate it on linux type the command:

On Windows you can check the official faq for a solution.

After following instructions, you should now have a private key like id_dsa and public key id_dsa.pub in your ~/.ssh/. Upload the public key in your gitorious account options. http://gitorious.org/~yournick/keys/new
