Newbie user of pagure is frustrated

[John W. Himpel]

I am attempting to add some ansible roles to the fedora-server module
in pagure.

I am attempting to follow the instructions found at 
https://docs.pagure.org/pagure/usage/forks.html

I successfully used the pagure web ui to fork fedora-server to
jwhimpel/fedora-server.

I then wanted to execute the git clone ssh:....... command shown, but
do not know which path I should be using following the [e-mail] in
the command.

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

I believe you should fire off the command:
git clone https://pagure.io/forks/jwhimpel/fedora-server.git

Thanks!!

That allowed for the checkout to work properly.  I created the  ansible
files under the "fedora-ansible" directory.  I then git add and commit
for my new ansible roles.

When I enter "git push -u origin "InitialCommit"
https://pagure.io/forks/jwhimpel/fedora-server.git
then enter my userid and password,
I get 
remote: Authorization Required
fatal: Authentication failed for
'https://pagure.io/forks/jwhimpel/fedora-server.git/'

Any suggestions?

You need to use an API key to commit to git.

* Go to https://pagure.io/settings#nav-api-tab
* Click on "Create new API key".
* On that page, make sure "Commit to a git repository via http(s)"
is checked.
* Click on create.
* You'll be able to use that API key to commit to the repository.

Or you can use ssh, clone with:

ssh://[e-mail]/forks/jwhimpel/fedora-server.git

and then use your ssh key to pull/push.

In my experience the easiest way is to use the ssh variant. If I remember correctly, the system automatically uses the public key of your FAS account.

And probably you can use the procedures as described for our documentation articles:

https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Server/Documentation/How_To_Contribute

https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/server-working-group/usr-docs-maintenan...

And as a WG member you can either push to your fork and then initiate a Pull Request, or you can directly push to the main repository.

And we should also agree whether we first save the Ansible scripts in the stg branch or directly in main. The documentation is currently only in stg. Maybe it is easier to put Ansible scripts in this branch for the first development time.  Then we would have both in the same branch and could access everything at the same time.
