Hi there,

You want to fork plugins to your GitHub account and create a PR (pull request) to the official OPNsense plugins repo with that fork.

When you push your branch, it should light up on your plugin repo automatically asking you to perform a request.

Can't be missed when you browse your GitHub.

if i try to push i get this error message (screenshot)

[franco]

Interpolating from your screenshot...

https://github.com/opnsense_user12123

That gives a 404... Do you have a GitHub account yet?


Cheers,
Franco

[opnsense_user12123]

yes. and it´s already activated. i can also login into github. but i´m only able to pull but not push!

[franco]

So what's your account name?

[opnsense_user12123]

opnsenseuser12123

[franco]

Okay, you haven't worked plugins yet... https://github.com/opnsenseuser12123?tab=repositories

Go to https://github.com/opnsense/plugins and click "Fork" top right corner.

[opnsense_user12123]

can you try the following:

git remote set-url origin git@github.com:opnsenseuser12123/plugins.git

then "git push -u origin your_branch_name"

[opnsense_user12123]

i will give it a try tomorrow.....i have to go to sleep :-(........ thx Fabian!!

[opnsense_user12123]

can you try the following:

git remote set-url origin git@github.com:opnsenseuser12123/plugins.git

then "git push -u origin your_branch_name"

Now i´m able to push to https://github.com/opnsenseuser12123/plugins.git
But i have not uploaded anything yet!

I do not quite understand that!

1. I thought i have to push this to https://github.com/opnsense/plugins?
2. Whats the difference between https://github.com/opnsense/plugins and https://github.com/opnsenseuser12123/plugins.git ?
3. Can anyone else then access my upload and help fixing some issues too ?

thx Fabian for your support! :-)

Sounds good - so there was a misconfiguration in your local git repository

1. I thought i have to push this to https://github.com/opnsense/plugins?

You cannot directly push into this repository because you don't have the permission to do so.
If you create a fork, it belongs to you and you can do with it whatever you want.
This protection prevents vandalism etc.

2. Whats the difference between https://github.com/opnsense/plugins and https://github.com/opnsenseuser12123/plugins.git ?

It is a different repository. opnsense/plugins belongs to the OPNsense group and some group members can write to it while opnsenseuser12123/plugins is yours. You can set the permissions etc. and you can rename or delete it for example. Whatever you do with your repository, you cannot break opnsense/plugins. If you want us to add some code from opnsenseuser12123/plugins to opnsense/plugins, you will have to create a pull request (PR) and the data will be available for review and if it passes, it will be merged (copy of the difference).

3. Can anyone else then access my upload and help fixing some issues too ?

Yes - via pull requests or if you add them to your repository with write access. It is your decision.
How you are going to work is a question of trust.
