h1. HowTo simply keep Redmine in sync with GitHub There are a lot of means out there. This there, here is the simplest one : I have found out: # 1. Install the "Redmine Github Hook" GitHub Hook plugin * http://www.redmine.org/plugins/redmine_github_hook, it works with Redmine 1.2.1 too 2. In Redmine, go to Administration/Settings and follow their instructions click on the Repository tab * Enable Git as SCM. * Select "auto-fetch commits" * Click on "Enable WS for repository management", generate an API key and copy it, we'll need it in a few minutes. * Click "Save". 3. Now, you have to create a local repository on the machine Redmine is installed * Use specifically the command @git clone --mirror [repo_url]@. * Pay attention to the fact that Redmine needs read permissions on this folder. * Then go into your projects settings, in the "repository tab". Select "Git" as SCM, and fill the +absolute+ path to the local repository you created just above. 4. Finally go to GitHub * Select your repository and click on "Admin". * Click on the "Service Hooks" tab and select Redmine in the list. * 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: > Adress = http://redmine.mydomain.com > Project = my_project > API Key = the API key we got from https://github.com/koppen/redmine_github_hook Redmine * Click "Update Settings" and you are done!
