When trying to pull or push files from/to server I get the following message:

$ git push
ssh: connect to host stuestoel.no port 22: Connection timed out fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly

According to what said in live.gnome.org/TranslationProject/GitHowTo my account is accepted. I.e. the command ssh -v MYUSERNAME@git.gnome.org returns what expected.

I do not know what "host stuestoel.no" is. (Assuming GNOME has nothing to do on my home site www.stuestoel.no). I think I have given a wrong command somewhere, but what do I have to do to correct it?

My config file is

$ git config -l user.name=Kolbjørn Stuestøl
user.email=kolbjoern@src.gnome.org color.ui=auto
remote.origin.url=ssh://kolbjoern@stuestoel.no/git/gimp-help-2 core.repositoryformatversion=0
core.filemode=true
core.bare=false
core.logallrefupdates=true
core.ignorecase=true
remote.origin.fetch=+refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/origin/* remote.origin.url=ssh://kolbjoern@git.gnome.org/git/gimp-help-2 branch.master.remote=origin
branch.master.merge=refs/heads/master

BTW: Why is the remote.origin.url defined twice? Kolbjoern

Invalid .doap fil?

Finally I get through, resulting in another problem ;-) "git push" results in this return message:

I have not changed the .doap file. Compared the gimp-help-2.doap to the one on the web site mentioned and found of course no difference in the setup. I do not believe the error is in the .doap file as others obviously are using it without problem and I have not changed it.
The steps before the "git push":

*** Validating XML (nn) ... nn: no errors.

$ git add .

$ git commit -m "Updated Norwegian translation" [master 075746b] Updated Norwegian translation 1 files changed, 1 insertions(+), 8 deletions(-)

Checked the http://git.gnome.org/browse/gimp-help-2/ in case of newer updates. None.

Some help?

Never, never do that.

Never do what? Change the .doap file or whatever?

You might have untracked files (generated by some operation) or files automatically changed for any reason (e.g. you host files on a FAT32 partition). 'git status' will tell you about that. Then 'git add' selected files that you purposely changed.

HTH,

Claude

I have run the "git status" but omitted it in the listing above because I do not understand what it tells me. I obviously have to study the git sites a bit more. The last thing I did before "git push" was as listed. ("git add ." --- "git status" --- "git commit"). Kolbjoern

Claude Paroz skreiv:

Never do "git add .". Basically, this command tell gits that all modified/new files in the checkout should be added in the next commit. In most of cases, this will add too much unwanted stuff (like the .doap file you never intended to modify).

It is better to add selectively the files you know you want to be committed. (e.g. git add po/sv/gimp.po)

Claude

Thank you Claude and Roman
I'll work further on these tips. Hoping to succeed some day. Kolbjoern

At last I got through.

Thank you Claude, Roman, and Julien.(private mails) and to Ulf for changing the gimp-help-2.doap file.
As I am the only Norwegian translator, I have time to correct any mistakes or mash ups :-)

I do not know what went wrong at the first place and how I corrected it. I just removed all new git files from my folders and started from scratch again.

Kolbjoern

Roman Joost skreiv:

While you're saying that, I'll sometimes use:

git clean -x -d -f

to remove all files which were generated during the setup or install process to start from scratch. Keep in mind before executing that this will also wipe all unknown files to git from the directory, including your working version you haven't committed ;)

Cheers,

Oh, should have known this command before :-) Much better and faster than my handwork. I save the tip for future use. It will come ;-). Another reason for reading the git handbook more carefully. Kolbjoern
