Cloning the Ceph Source Code Repository
=========================================
You may clone a Ceph branch of the Ceph source code by going to `github Ceph
Repository`_, selecting a branch (``master`` by default), and clicking the
**Download ZIP** button.
.. _github Ceph Repository: https://github.com/ceph/ceph
To clone the entire git repository, install and configure ``git``.
Install Git
===========
To install ``git``, execute::
sudo apt-get install git
You must also have a ``github`` account. If you do not have a
``github`` account, go to `github.com`_ and register.
Follow the directions for setting up git at
`Set Up Git`_.
.. _github.com: http://github.com
.. _Set Up Git: http://help.github.com/linux-set-up-git
Add SSH Keys (Optional)
=======================
If you intend to commit code to Ceph or to clone using SSH
(``git@github.com:ceph/ceph.git``), you must generate SSH keys for github.
.. tip:: If you only intend to clone the repository, you may
use ``git clone --recursive https://github.com/ceph/ceph.git``
without generating SSH keys.
To generate SSH keys for ``github``, execute::
ssh-keygen
Get the key to add to your ``github`` account (the following example
assumes you used the default file path)::
cat .ssh/id_rsa.pub
Copy the public key.
Go to your your ``github`` account, click on "Account Settings" (i.e., the
'tools' icon); then, click "SSH Keys" on the left side navbar.
Click "Add SSH key" in the "SSH Keys" list, enter a name for the key, paste the
key you generated, and press the "Add key" button.
Clone the Source
================
To clone the Ceph source code repository, execute::
git clone --recursive https://github.com/ceph/ceph.git
Once ``git clone`` executes, you should have a full copy of the Ceph
repository.
.. tip:: Make sure you maintain the latest copies of the submodules
included in the repository. Running ``git status`` will tell you if
the submodules are out of date.
::
cd ceph
git status
If your submodules are out of date, run::
git submodule update
Choose a Branch
===============
Once you clone the source code and submodules, your Ceph repository
will be on the ``master`` branch by default, which is the unstable
development branch. You may choose other branches too.
- ``master``: The unstable development branch.
- ``stable``: The bugfix branch.
- ``next``: The release candidate branch.
::
git checkout master
