    Lino Banfi - 2025-03-14

    hi everyone,
    first of all, sorry for my ineptitude, but i really don't get it.

    i wanted to submit some local changes i've made to the code in the git repository, for your consideration and to receive some feedback, if any.
    i've read that its better not to post such things here in sourceforge anymore.
    so i've created an account in forgealec and followed the instructions, presented there, on how to push commits to my repository.
    when i got to the point where i have to push the commits ("git push -u origin main") it asks me for a password. i give it the password for my forgealec account but it says that is not valid.

    i've tried to follow the (mostly) same procedure on github and found out that i need a "Personal access tokens".
    i've got the token, used it as password and it worked.

    now i'm guessing that i need a similar token for forgealec as well.
    the problem is that, for the life of me, i can't find where to get one.

    any help would be appreciated.

      In addition to what @xavi92 has answered, I recommend you to visit our developer chat, which you can access through Matrix, or through XMPP:
      MATRIX: https://matrix.to/#/#speed-dreams-dev:tedomum.net

    Hi @lanfi, if you want to work on Speed Dreams, typically you would first fork the repository by entering https://forge.a-lec.org/speed-dreams/speed-dreams-code and pressing the Fork button in the upper right corner.

    Then, clone your repository to your machine using the URL of your forked repository, ideally the SSH version (for example, git@forge.a-lec.org:your-username/speed-dreams-code.git). If using SSH, it is required to set up SSH access from the user settings beforehand.

    Secondly, I need your username in https://forge.a-lec.org so I can manually add you into the speed-dreams organization. This is a temporary workaround to the existing anti-spam policies on this Forgejo instance. This will allow you to create pull requests, file issues, etc.

    @xavi92
    got it.
    since i can't seem to find a token i will try to setup an ssh key and build from there.
    shouldn't be that hard for a driver with my skills.

    @leillo1975
    thanks. i will surely look into it.

    when i'm logged in (as "plinio") i cannot see the speed-dreams repository page (404 error) to fork it.
    maybe those are the anti-spam countermeasures you mentioned.

      Hi,

      Yes, this is the consequence of the anti-spam filter. I have just manually added you to the organization, so it should be fixed now.

      Best regards,
      Xavi

        everything seems to be working.
        i just need to get acquainted with the procedures now.
        thank you very much.

    now that i don't need it anymore i finally found where to get a token.
    i guess the sub-menu name threw me off.
    if anyone is interested, a token can be obtained from Settings->Applications.

    Yeah, I had the same problem logging in the new forge-a-lec account.
    I changed my username, now my username is Snowmeow.
