just thought I'd pop by here and post a little "keep a local copy of
p2pool up to date" I noticed windpath back there with a
rm -rf p2pool ; git clone p2pool - shocking display man!
Now you want to cruise over to the hub to grab mainline p2pool as in
forrestv's p2pool. You can fork it there with one click. An account
there allows you to push changes to the hub but probably, not possibly only
makes sense if your actively developing and or contributing to the project.
You can definately clone p2pool and still keep it updated locally anyway.
Once thats done its time to party. If your on linux your laughing this can
all be done at the console.
Adjust these commands to suit your personal rig.
mkdir $HOME/mining
cd $HOME/mining
git clone --bare [email protected]:Polyatomic/p2pool.git
That there becomes your authoritative git or depot if you like. No
work gets done in there - We'll create a working repo for that now.
Adjust accordingly
git clone $HOME/miner/p2pool.git
- notice the extention
bam that becomes your working repository and by default maintains a link
back to its parent repository which is p2pool.git
cd p2pool(working repository)
The command used to manipulate and create a remote is `git remote` lets
introduce a remote, which will be forrestv's p2pool I'll call it mainline.
As usual on linux there are many ways to do the same thing.
git remote add mainline [email protected]:forrestv/p2pool.git
git remote update mainline
or
git remote add mainline [email protected]:forrestv/p2pool.git
git remote fetch mainline
or the more compact
git remote add -f mainline [email protected]:forrestv/p2pool.git
check it out!
milton@milton:~/temp/p2pool$ git remote add -f mainline [email protected]:forrestv/p2pool.git

Success, see that up there.
If you want to make changes create your own branch. The name you assign to your
branch can be anything, arbitrary even. The default branch which is master needs
to remain robust and dependable.
git branch Polyatomic ; git checkout Polyatomic
or the more compact
git checkout -b Polyatomic
When mainline p2pool gets updated by the developer all you have to do is
git fetch mainline
git checkout master - if your on your own branch
git merge mainline/master
git will perform a fastforward

And if you want to keep your fork updated at the hub this is where the depot
comes in handy remember the p2pool with the .git extension. Lets move HEAD forward
a bit. Move into your working repository
milton@milton:~/temp/p2pool$ touch testing ; echo "testing" > testing ; git add testing ; git commit -m "testing" -m ""

notice the extension upthere and if you want to push that commit up to the github , change into the
authoritative repo, do exactly the same
cd p2pool.git
git push origin
or if you only want to push a branch
git push origin [branchname]
