Getting started with an existing github project for nitrous - nitrousio

I followed the directions on "Connecting to Github" article, and my github account has the nitrous keys.
I'm not able to find a way to connect an Nitrous box to an existing github repo. I have a rails project on github that I'd like to use with Nitrous.
I then tried downloading the Nitrous Desktop for Mac. I enabled File Sync. From the command line, I navigated to ~/Nitrous/BOX and I did a git clone from the github repo. The Nitrous web IDE does not show any of the synced files.
Update: The "workspace" folder does not automatically open up. Be sure to click on the triangle =)
I'm guessing this a feature that is just rolling out and maybe I'm trying to use Github integration too soon?
Ps. The documentation here http://help.nitrous.io/faq-adding-project/ on cloning from Git needs updating.

I use the command line tools git to perform a git repository synchronization in Nitrous.IO.
I use BitBucket but it's exactly the same thing with GitHub.
In GitHub I found this documentation : GitHub fork repository
All these actions need to be performed into the Consol windows from Nitrous.IO.

Might be a bit late to answer this question but you need to Add the SSH key to your Github account.
Nitrous leave quite good instructions here

TortoiseHg 3.6.3 broke mercurial keyring?

I upgraded to Tortoise 3.6.3 yesterday and now I am prompted every time I pull or push a repo. The keyring is set properly, and my user name is in the url.
Any ideas on what may be wrong? Did 3.6.3 break keyring?
Issue 4401 "mercurial_keyring always asks for user/password" from time of 3.6.2 closed as pure extension-specific and contains solution: don't use username in URL anymore
Here is what to put into .hg/hgrc:
[auth]
default.username=myname
default.prefix=http://myrepo
A good way to debug issues like this is to run merciural from the command line with the debug flag, as in:
hg pull --debug
This will clearly indicate if there are problems getting the repo, user name, and password.
UPDATE: A new version of TortoiseHG has been released (3.8.3 at the time of writing) and fixes this issue: upgrading to latest version should be enough.
I had this exact same problem and found the following investigation article to be quite helpful to better understand what't going on (I'm not the author, BTW).
To cut it short, it seems a bug of the mercurial_keyring extension v1.0.1, introduced in TortoiseHG 3.6.2, which also appears to be fixed in v1.1.1.
If you're into Python compiling, it should be possible to upgrade it manually into TortoiseHG by getting it from its official bitbucket repo, compile it and manually place it into TortoiseHG's /lib/library.zip file (backup it beforehand might be wise): if you're not, you have 2 options:
1) clone the bitbucket repo to your HDD and then configure your Mercurial installation to use the new version of that extension module by writing the following in your C:\Users\USERNAME\mercurial.ini file (which was what I did):
[extensions]
mercurial_keyring = /path/to/mercurial_keyring/mercurial_keyring.py
(Notice: you might also have to put the path in your PATH or PYTHONPATH env variable, depending if you already have Python and/or Mercurial installed on your machine).
2) wait for the next TortoiseHG release that will contain the updated version.

Can I modify my openshift git repo using ssh shell?

I have working app on OpenShift server. My question is - how to update openshift's git repo of my application, if I make some changes using ssh acsess to openshift? I mean not using all this stuff with pull/push to my local mashine.
If I understand you correctly, you would like to modify source code without using git. I am not sure why you would want that. All that stuff with pull/push gives you a version control flexibility which can save you a lot of time when you screw up one thing. For example, you push brand new UI to production, which turns out to be buggy. With git, you have flexibility to revert back to previous version, and work on different branch to fix the bug on UI.
OpenShift follows conventional app structure. Git for source control, maven for build, jbosseap(for example) for app server, jenkins for continuous integration, etc. So, when you push using git, OpenShift will automatically build using maven, then deploy to the server.
If you would like to disregard all that advantages that OpenShift has to offer, use rhc ssh appname to directly work on the server.

Force Jenkins Subversion plugin to use HEAD revision

I was using Hudson for doing my project builds and now planning to migrate to Jenkins.
The build server time is not in sync with the developer machines, and hence svn update does not work correctly. In Hudson, I was able to set the revision policy to HEAD, whereas its missing in Jenkins.
I searched a bit and saw that a Jira is created for this issue, but did not find a working solution for the problem.
I tried to manually install the Hudson subversion plugin in Jenkins, and the Revision policy option came up, but for some reason it caused an exception while setting the svn authentication info.
If anyone knows a solution to make this change in Jenkins, kindly reply.
Figured out. Append all SVN urls with #HEAD and svn update will happen from HEAD!
The plugin doesn't offer such feature but you might find useful this jira issue. There is a patch in the comments for that purpose. See Issue 1241.

m2eclipse on windows with Mercurial does not allow hg to be used on the "Check out Maven Projects from SCM" wizard

I followed the answer from this posting:
How to use Mercurial, Maven and Eclipse together?
But the "Check out Maven Projects from SCM" still does not allow me to use Mercurial SCM.
The only option I get is "svn" in the dropdown, and even if I ignore the drop down and enter in "scm:hg:http://myMercurialRepoURL"
I'm using:
Eclipse 3.6.1
m2eclipse 0.12 from http://m2eclipse.sonatype.org/sites/m2e
"Maven SCM handler for Subclipse" 0.12.0 from m2eclipse extra's site (sorry, I would give the URL, but my new account doesn't have enough rep)
MercurialEclipse 1.8.1 from http://cbes.javaforge.com/update
And I've uninstalled, and reinstall those plugins in that order.
I'm able to use Maven in projects, and use Mercurial separately in Eclipse - it's just this one Wizard that seems to be broken, which leads me to believe that if I try to Materialize an Artifact from a Mercurial repo that it will also fail.
Has anyone had any luck with this Wizard? Perhaps on earlier versions? Is this a new bug?
Thanks
As far my search went, I didn't get to find a suitable connector for mercurial and m2eclipse (in terms of only using IDE). However, I did an experiment wherein I cloned a copy of the source from outside the IDE. (via TortoiseHg specifically)
Afterwards, assuming you have already m2e installed in Eclipse:
Go to File > import > maven > existing maven projects, then select the folder where you've originally pulled/cloned your source code.
I believe by doing so, you'll see the m2e commands in the project's context menu (via run as), and effective use mercurial commands. (via team context menu)
At least for now, this is better not using m2e and mercurial at the same time.
If anyone has a more streamlined approach, I'm also curious. :D

Configuring Bazaar in Hudson

I am trying to configure a task in Hudson for a VC++ project. I was able to build a project from the file system with MSBuild task. But when I try to configure the task to check out a bazaar repo to do the build, checkout is always failing in authentication. Bazaar passwordless access is setup on the machine and when I use bzr cmd line, checkout is happening without password. Another post suggested that I should have the id_rsa in C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator.hudson - but that also did not help. In Subversion config I saw a way of mentioning username and password. Is there any way to get around this problem.
I assume you have set up the authentication in the windows equivalent of ~/.bazaar/authentication.conf (use bzr version -v to get the correct location).
Is hudson running as the same user as the one you use to connect with the command-line? Because that will impact which authentication.conf it will try to use.
My hudson is using authentication.conf fine but I run it on Ubuntu.
I solved the problem. The authentication.conf is not being considered in windows. I made the repo accessible through http and configured the bazaar with that URL. It was able to download the repo with http protocol without asking for password. One more thing I did was I created a username in hudson, which I matched with a user having access in the bazaar repo which solved another problem which was asking for a user named pwd.
