h1. HowTo keep simply in sync Redmine with GitHub
2
3
There are a lot of means out there, here is the simplest one I have found out :
4
5
1. Install the GitHub Hook plugin
6
http://www.redmine.org/plugins/redmine_github_hook, it works with Redmine 1.2.1 too
7
8
2. In Redmine, go in Administration/Settings and click on the Repository tab
9
* Enable Git as SCM.
10
* Select "auto-fetch commits"
11
* Click on "Enable WS for repository management", generate an API key and copy it, we'll need it in a few minutes.
12
* Click "Save".
13
14
3. Now, you have to create a local repository on the machine Redmine is installed
15
* Use specifically the command git clone --mirror [repo_url].
16
* Pay attention to the fact that Redmine needs read rights on this folder.
17
* Go then in your projects settings, in the "repository tab". Select "Git" as SCM, and fill the +absolute+ path to the local repository you created just above.
18
19
4. Finally go to GitHub
20
* Select your repository and click on "Admin".
21
* Click on the "Service Hooks" tab and select Redmine in the list.
22
* Scroll up to fill needed information, don't forget the API Key we generated earlier. For instance, if your project url is http://redmine.mydomain.com/projects/my_project :
23
> Adress = http://redmine.mydomain.com
24
25
> Project = my_project
26
27
> API Key = the API key we got from Redmine
28
29
* Click "Update Settings" and your are done !
