How to get access to the AFEM repository?
If you want to get access to a repository, first read the Git FAQ and then contact one of the following admins.
You need to create an rsa-key pair, if you don't already have one. This can be done by enteringssh-keygen -t rsa -b 4096
in a terminal. Follow the instructions of the key generator and you're done. If you didn't change the default saving directory, the key-pair should be located in ~/.ssh/id_rsa and ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub. All you need to do now, is to send the id_rsa.pub to an admin and you're done. Note: It is important that you send the public key id_rsa.pub and not your private key id_rsa!

How to copy the AFEM repository?
To actually get a repository, i.e., to get a local copy you can work with, you first need to clone the repositoty. Therefore navigate to the folder you want to clone your repository to in your terminal and type
git clone ccafm@ssh2.math.hu-berlin.de:afem-base
where afem-base is the name of the repository. If you ask an admin to get access to a repository, you get the exact name of that repository. The clone command creates a directory called afem-base and copies the projects history into that folder.
