The web page is currently running on the AMBER server at SDSC. However, I
don't have a complete copy of the website so this is why some things like
the wiki etc don't work at present. I'll switch the DNS records back once I
hear from Rutgers the web server there is fixed. Last update today was that
the tech that came out could not fix things...

I can give you write access to the git tree if you promise to be careful...

A synopsis of the procedure is:

git clone gitosis.git.ambermd.org:amber.git
cd amber
git branch foo
git checkout foo

<Do some modifications - use 'git add [filename]' to stage files for being
committed>

git commit <commit your changes to your local branch as needed>

<occasionally resync with the master>
git checkout master
git pull
git checkout foo
git merge master

<do some more modifications, commits etc - When you are ready to upload to
the main tree do>

git checkout master
git pull
git checkout foo
git merge master <check everything is good at this stage>

git checkout master
git merge foo <Merge your branch into the local master>

<check all is good>

git push <Pushes your updates to the main server>

<To incorporate into amber11 do>

git log <Locate checksums for your commits>

git checkout amber11

git cherrypick <checksum> - <This will incorporate your changes into the
AMBER 11 branch - hopefully the merge will work>

<When you are done with this you can do>

git push <This pushes your updates to the master amber11 branch>


<You also need to make the bugfix patches. This can technically be done with
git patch / git diff but for time being I would do this step manually.

Good luck,
Ross
