h1. Central repository configuration

h2. Configuring git

The central GammaLib repo will be accessed using the @https@ protocol, which makes use of SSL certificates. To disable certificate verification, we recommend to issue the command
<pre>
$ git config --global http.sslverify "false"
</pre>which disables certificate verification globally.

If you want to avoid typing your user name and password every time you make a push, you can create a file called @.netrc@ under your root directory (i.e. @~/.netrc@) with the following content:
<pre>
machine cta-git.irap.omp.eu
  login <user>
  password <password>
</pre>(replace @<user>@ and @<password>@ by your user name and password). Once the @.netrc@ file in place, you may simply type
<pre>
$ git push
</pre>to push you code changes into the repository.

*Note:* There seems to be a problem with git version 1.7.11.3, which does not allow pushing a new branch in the central repository or even cloning an existing project (at least when used from a Mac with OS X 10.6.8). No password is requested when it should be, and the following message appears:
<pre>
error: RPC failed; result=22, HTTP code = 401
fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly
</pre>
The solution was to upgrade to another version, for instance 1.8.2.1 which allowed to get rid of the problem.
