+ First Steps on pagure

+ =====================

+ 

+ When coming to pagure for the first time there are a few things one should

+ do or check to ensure all works as desired.

+ 

+ Login to pagure or create your account

+ --------------------------------------

+ 

+ Pagure has its own user account system.

+ 

+ For instances of pagure such as the one at `pagure.io <https://pagure.io>`_

+ where the authentication is delegated to a third party (in the case of

+ pagure.io, the Fedora Account System) via OpenID, the local user account

+ is created upon login.

+ 

+ This means, you cannot be added to a group or a project before you login for

+ the first time as the system will simply not know you.

+ 

+ If you run your own pagure instance which uses the local authentication

+ system, then you will find on the login page an option to create a new

+ account.

+ 

+ 

+ Upload your SSH key

+ -------------------

+ 

+ Pagure uses gitolite to manage who has read/write access to which git

+ repository via `ssh <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Secure_Shell>`_.

+ 

+ An ssh key is composed of two parts:

+ 

+ * a private key, which you must keep to yourself and never share with anyone.

+ * a public key, which is public and therefore can be shared with anyone.

+ 

+ If you have never generated a ssh key, you can do so by running:

+ 

+ ::

+ 

+     ssh-keygen

+ 

+ or alternatively on GNOME using the application ``seahorse``.

+ 

+ This will create two files in ``~/.ssh/`` (``~`` is the symbol for your home

+ folder).

+ 

+ These two files will be named (for example) ``id_rsa`` and ``id_rsa.pub``.

+ The first one is the private key that must never be shared. The second is

+ the public key that can be uploaded on pagure to give you ssh access.

+ 

+ To upload your public key onto pagure, login and click on the user icon on

+ the top right corner, there, select ``My settings``.

+ 

+ .. image:: _static/pagure_my_settings.png

+         :target: _static/pagure_my_settings.png

+ 

+ 

+ Configure the default email address

+ -----------------------------------

+ 

+ If the pagure instance you use is using local user authentication, then when

+ you created your account you could choose whichever email address you prefer

+ to use, but in the case (like pagure.io) where the pagure instance relies

+ on an external authentication service, the email address provided by this

+ service may be different from the one you prefer.

+ 

+ Your settings' page (cf the image above for how to access to the page) allow

+ you to add multiple email address and set one as default.

+ 

+ Your default email address is the address that will be used to send you

+ notifications and also as the email address in the git commit if you merge

+ a pull-request with a merge commit.

+ 

+ For online editing, when doing the commit, you will be presented with the

+ list of valid email addresses associated with your account and you will be

+ able to choose which one you wish to use.

+ 

+ .. note:: All email address will need to be confirmed to be activated, this

+           is done via a link sent by email to the address. If you do not

+           receive this link, don't forget to check your spam folder!

+ Customize the PR page

+ =====================

+ 

+ Pagure offers the possibility to customize the page that creates pull-request

+ to add your specific information, such as: please follow the XYZ coding style,

+ run the tests or whatever you wish to inform contributors when they open a

+ new pull-request.

+ 

+ The customization is done via a file in the git repository containing the

+ meta-data for the pull-requests. This file must be placed under a ``templates``

+ folder, be named ``contributing.md`` and can be formated as you wish using

+ markdown.

+ 

+ 

+ Example

+ -------

+ 

+ For a project named ``test`` on ``pagure.io``.

+ 

+ * First, clone the pull-request git repo [#f1]_ and move into it

+ 

+ ::

+ 

+     git clone ssh://git@pagure.org/requests/test.git

+     cd test

+ 

+ * Create the templates folder

+ 

+ ::

+ 

+     mkdir templates

+ 

+ * Create the customized PR info

+ 

+ ::

+ 

+     vim templates/contributing.md

+ 

+ And place in this file the following content:

+ 

+ ::

+ 

+     Contributing to test

+     ====================

+ 

+     When creating a pull-request against test, there are couple of items to do

+     that will speed up the review process:

+ 

+     * Ensure the unit-tests are all passing (cf the ``runtests.sh`` script at the

+       top level of the sources)

+     * Check if your changes are [pep8](https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0008/)

+       compliant for this you can install ``python-pep8`` and run the ``pep8`` CLI

+       tool

+ 

+ 

+ * Commit and push the changes to the git repo

+ 

+ ::

+ 

+     git add templates

+     git commit -m "Customize the PR page"

+     git push

+ 

+ 

+ * And this is how it will look like

+ 

+ .. image:: _static/pagure_custom_pr.png

+         :target: _static/pagure_custom_pr.png

+ Templates for ticket input

+ ==========================

+ 

+ Pagure offers the possibility to add templates for ticket's input. These

+ templates do not enforce anything, users will have the possibility to simply

+ ignore it, or even to not follow it, but it also helps structuring the

+ ticket opened against a project and highlighting the information that are

+ often requested/needed.

+ 

+ The templates are provided in the git repository containing the meta-data

+ for the tickets.

+ They must be placed under a ``templates`` folder in this git repository,

+ end with ``.md``and as the extension suggests can be formated as markdown.

+ 

+ If you create a template ``templates/default.md``, it will be shown by

+ default when someone ask to create a new ticket.

+ 

+ 

+ 

+ Example

+ -------

+ 

+ For a project named ``test`` on ``pagure.io``.

+ 

+ * First, clone the ticket git repo [#f1]_ and move into it

+ 

+ ::

+ 

+     git clone ssh://git@pagure.io/tickets/pagure.git

+     cd test

+ 

+ * Create the templates folder

+ 

+ ::

+ 

+     mkdir templates

+ 

+ * Create a default template

+ 

+ ::

+ 

+     vim templates/default.md

+ 

+ And place in this file the following content:

+ 

+ ::

+ 

+     ##### Issue

+ 

+     ##### Steps to reproduce

+     1.

+     2.

+     3.

+ 

+     ##### Actual results

+ 

+     ##### Expected results

+ 

+ * Commit and push the changes to the git repo

+ 

+ ::

+ 

+     git add templates

+     git commit -m "Add a default template for tickets"

+     git push

+

How do the services communicate with the main process? unix pipes? redis queues? smoke signals? carrier pigeons?

maybe s/to create/that creates/

Looks good overall. I left a couple comments, but :+1: nonetheless.
