Setting up permissions
First, you have to get added to the sipb-www
Moira list to have access to the AFS locker.
You should ask someone in the executive committee to add you, or do it yourself if you are on sipb-acl
.
To be able to connect to scripts via ssh, you need to sign up to scripts. As the scripts documentation says, sign up like this:
ssh yourkerb@athena.dialup.mit.edu
add scripts
scripts
If it still doesn't work, wait a few hours to a day for the Moira changes to propagate to AFS.
Cloning the repository
Since scripts uses kerberos for authentication, you have to install Kerberos. In the case of Linux and macOS, you can use your package manager.
...
git clone --recurse-submodules ssh://sipb-www@scripts-f30.mit.edu/mit/sipb-www/website.git
Windows note
Use WSL for now. We don't know how to git clone using ssh with kerberos authentication from Windows.
IS&T offers Kerberos for Windows, and Windows comes bundled with ssh, and you can install git by downloading it and running an official installer.
Because these 3 different pieces of software –which on Linux can seamlessly interact with each other– come from 3 different sources, it's possible that they aren't actually interoperating properly.
If you figure out how to get them to play along, you should update this documentation.
