Today, Ehsan and I set up a highly experimental git server in Mozilla Toronto, and it seems to be working relatively well (for now). If you want access, give me a ping and I’ll sort it out for you (should be accessible to anyone on a Mozilla corporate network, I think). We’re still ironing out the kinks though, so please only use it if you’re fairly well versed with git.

The server (currently accessible via “teenux.local”) hosts repositories mirroring mozilla-central, mozilla-inbound and a push-only repository for try:

git@teenux.local:mozilla-central.git
git@teenux.local:mozilla-inbound.git
git@teenux.local:try.git

To use it, you need to add a new section to your .ssh/config like this:

Host teenux.local
User git
ForwardAgent yes
IdentityFile path/to/your/hg/private_key

You may also need to register the private key you use for hg.mozilla.org with ssh-agent by doing:

ssh-add path/to/your/hg/private_key

That should be it. Now you can go ahead and clone git://github.com/mozilla/mozilla-central.git and set up a remote for the repositories hosted on teenux for pushing to. You can theoretically clone from teenux as well but given that the server isn’t anywhere near as reliable as github, I recommend you stick to github for fetching changes, and only use teenux for pushing.

There is a minor caveat: you must push to the master branch for this to work. So a typical command would be:

git push -f try my_local_branch:master

Enjoy!
