This page describes the ways one can use darcs at HCoop

= Hosting a darcs repository =

You can use your web space for hosting a public darcs repository. This section descrives the steps you need to perform in order to do that.

== Creating a repository on the server ==

First of all, you want to have a darcs repository accessible from the web. In order to do that you
 need to log in via ssh and intialize a repository.

{{{
cd ~/public_html
mkdir repo
cd repo
darcs initialize
}}}

now your repository can be cloned by simpl doing 

{{{
darcs get http://hcoop.net/~USER/repo
}}}

Of course, you can host a repository on your own [[MemberManual/GettingDomain|domain name]] too.

== Pushing changes to the repository ==

You can push patches from your local repository to the repository hosted at HCoop using your ssh login:

{{{
darcs push ssh://USER@ssh.hcoop.net:public_html/repo
}}}

this command will prompt you for your password, you can set up [[MemberManual/ShellAccess/PasswordlessLogin|passwordless login]] if you want to avoid that.
