There isn’t really a Git server. The repositories are spread across the infrastructure.

This is correct as this is the only server that has public SSH access (for now).

No, this is mainly the web UI to browse the repositories as well as access to the repositories using HTTPS and the Git protocol.

I have created a Git repository for you here:

  https://git.ipfire.org/?p=people/jon/ipfire-2.x.git;a=summary

At the top of the page you will find a few ways how to access the repository:

  git://git.ipfire.org/people/jon/ipfire-2.x.git
  https://git.ipfire.org/pub/git/people/jon/ipfire-2.x.git
  ssh://people.ipfire.org/pub/git/people/jon/ipfire-2.x.git

Git and HTTPS are read-only and SSH is the only way to write to your repository.

You can add this to your local repository like so and then push your changes to it:

  git remote add jon ssh://jon(a)people.ipfire.org/pub/git/people/jon/ipfire-2.x.git
  git push jon my-branch

Let me know if this worked.

Best,
-Michael
