==== Updating git repositories ====

In XELK, the following source trees are clones of the correspondent '''DAVE Embedded Systems''' ~~public~~ git repositories: {| class="wikitable"

~~!XELK Installation Directory~~

|~~Linux~~U-Boot|<code>git@git.dave.eu:dave/axel/~~linux~~u-~~2.6~~boot-imx.git~~|/home/dvdk/axel~~</~~linux~~code>

|-

|~~U-Boot~~Linux kernel|<code>git@git.dave.eu:dave/axel/ulinux-~~boot~~2.6-imx.git|</~~home/dvdk/axel/u-boot~~code>

|}

For more information about the access to these repositories, please refer to [[Building_the_Yocto_BSP_(XELK)|this link]].

~~This means that these components can be kept in sync and up~~ Access to ~~date with '''~~DAVE Embedded Systems''' git repositories. ~~==== RSA key generation ====~~ ~~Please follow the procedure reported below~~ is granted to ~~generate the RSA ssh key:~~ * select your username (ad es. username@myhost.com)* start the DVDK and login into the virtual machine* start a shell session* enter the .ssh subdirectory into your home directory: <code>cd ~/.ssh/</code>* launch the following command: <pre>ssh-keygen -t rsa -C "username@myhost.com" -f username@myhost.com</pre>* this command creates the files <code>~/.ssh/username@myhost.com</code> (development kit'~~''private key''') and <code>~/.ssh/username@myhost~~s owners only.~~com.pub</code> ('''public key''')~~* edit your <code>~/.ssh/config</code> adding the following lines: ~~<pre>Host git.dave.eu~~ ~~User git~~ ~~Hostname git.dave.eu~~ ~~PreferredAuthentications publickey~~ ~~IdentityFile ~/.ssh/username@myhost.com</pre>~~ Please ~~send the public key file~~ refer to ~~one of the following email support addresses (depending on which SOM is included in your kit version)~~ * [~~mailto:support-axel@dave.eu support-axel@dave.eu~~[Accessing_DAVE_Embedded_Systems_restricted_git_repositories|this page]] ~~with the request~~ for ~~the creation of a new public git account associated~~ detailed instructions on how to ~~your username. The support team will enable the account and send you a confirmation as soon as possible~~get access.

==== Synchronizing the repository ====

~~When~~ The components listed in the ~~account is enabled, you~~ table above can ~~synchronize a source tree entering the repository directory~~ be kept in sync and ~~launching the <code>git fetch</code> command, like in the following example:~~ ~~<pre class="workstation-terminal">dvdk@dvdk-vm:~$ cd /home/dvdk/axel/linux/dvdk@dvdk-vm:/home/dvdk/axel/linux$ git fetch origin</pre>~~ ~~Please note that <code>git fetch</code> doesn~~up to date with DAVE Embedded Systems'~~t merge the commits on the current branch~~repositories. ~~To do that, you should run~~

Once the git account has been enabled, the developer can:*clone the repository with the <code>git clone <git_remote_repository><~~pre class="workstation-terminal"~~/code>command *synchronize a source tree entering the repository directory and launching the <code>git ~~merge~~ fetch origin~~/axel~~</~~pre~~code>command.

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 Git Documentation].~~
