To add a new developer account (e.g., you need write access to CIG's subversion repository), CIG requires the approval of the software project leader. The request should be sent to cig-help@geodynamics.org.

For all developers, your public key is needed to set up the account on CIG's subversion repository server. Here are the steps to take:

• If you already have an ssh public key, please send it to cig-help@geodynamics.org. You will be notified with an email when your account is set.
• If you don't have an ssh public key, it is easy to generate.

From your login directory:

  $ mkdir ~/.ssh

  $ cd .ssh

  $ ssh-keygen -t rsa -f id_rsa

Then, hit return twice (i.e., enter an empty passphrase). It will generate two files, id_rsa and id_rsa.pub. Your session should look something like this:

  $ ssh-keygen -t rsa -f id_rsa
  Generating public/private rsa key pair.
  Enter passphrase (empty for no passphrase):
  Enter same passphrase again:
  Your identification has been saved in id_rsa.
  Your public key has been saved in id_rsa.pub.
  The key fingerprint is:
  fd:08:f0:ae:a0:e1:4b:cb:4b:75:5a:9c:06:2e:c3:5d:
  $ ls
  id_rsa id_rsa.pub
  $

id_rsa is your private identity file, so don't share it will anyone. id_rsa.pub is your public key, which we will use to create your account. Send your public key id_rsa.pub as an attachment to cig-help@geodynamics.org.

Change permission on .ssh dir:

  chmod -r 700 ~/.ssh

That's it. Once we receive your SSH public key, we will set up your access account and notify you by email.
