GitFlic instead of GitHub

This guide describes the process of migrating the GoCore project repository from GitHub to GitFlic and configuring secure SSH access.

Repository Migration

To migrate a repository to https://gitflic.ru/, follow these steps:

1. Creating an Access Token on GitHub:

   • Go to the repository owner’s account on GitHub.
   • Navigate to settings: Settings -> Developer settings -> Personal access tokens (direct link).
   • Create a new token (Fine-grained or Classic).
   • Select the required repository and specify access permissions (Contents (ReadOnly)).

2. Importing to GitFlic:

   • Go to GitFlic and select: Create new project -> Import.
   • Specify the GitHub username and the obtained token.
   • Start the import process.

Local Environment Setup

To add a new remote repository and get the list of branches:

1. Adding a remote:

   git remote add gitflic https://gitflic.ru/repo/YOUR_LOGIN/YOUR_REPOSITORY.git
   

2. SSH Key Configuration: Since WebStorm (and other JetBrains products) may lack direct integration with GitFlic via account, it is recommended to use a public key (SSH).

   • Key Generation (in a terminal, e.g., Git Bash):

     ssh-keygen -t ed25519 -C "your_email@example.com"
     

   • Viewing the Key:

     cat ~/.ssh/id_ed25519.pub
     

   • Adding the Key to GitFlic: Copy the key content and add it in the user settings on GitFlic.

3. Fetching Branches:

   git fetch gitflic
   

Note: When trying to checkout a branch (e.g., master) from GitFlic, if a local branch with the same name already exists, the system may not allow using the same name. In this case, the local branch can be named, for example, gitflic-master.
