Please note that git fetch doesn't merge the commits on the current branch. To do that, the developer should run the <code>git merge</code> command or replace the ''fetch-merge'' process with a single <code>git pull</code> command. Please note that the recommended method is the ''fetch-merge'' process. For further information on Git, please refer to the official Git Documentation (http://git-scm.com/documentation).
===RSA key generation===For getting access to the Git repositories, a ssh key is required. Please follow the procedure reported below refer to generate the RSA ssh key (<u>it is assumed that the ssh package and the required tools are installed [[Accessing_DAVE_Embedded_Systems_restricted_git_repositories|this page]] for detailed instructions on the Linux development server</u>):select your username (ad es. username@myhost.com) *start a shell session on the Linux host*enter the .ssh subdirectory into your home directory:*:<code>cd ~/.ssh/</code>*launch the following command: *:<code>ssh-keygen -t rsa -C "username@myhost.com"</code>*:this command creates the files <code>~/.ssh/username@myhost.com</code> ('''private key''') and <code>~/.ssh/username@myhost.com.pub</code> (how to get access to DAVE Embedded Systems'''public key''') *edit your <code>~/.ssh/config</code> adding the following lines: <pre> Host gitrepositories.dave.eu User git Hostname git.dave.eu PreferredAuthentications publickey IdentityFile ~/.ssh/username@myhost.com</pre>Please send the public key file to the following email support address [mailto:support-bora@dave.eu support-bora@dave.eu], requesting the creation of a new public git account associated to your username. The support team will promptly enable the account and send you a confirmation message.
===Using the pre-packaged git archive===
BELK distribution provides (on request) the tar-gzipped archive of the .git directory of the repositories, so the user can immediately get access to the development trees (for example this is used when corporate security policies don't allow to use the git protocol).
