Acelan’s Life

On a new installed machine, you have to add your info in the ~/.gitconfig
git config --add user.name "AceLan Kao"
git config --add user.email acelan.kao@ccc.ccc


Clone Jaunty kernel and add my public repository, so that I can publish my modification to public git tree.
git clone --reference linux-2.6 git://kernel.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ubuntu-jaunty.git
git remote add zinc git+ssh://zinc.ubuntu.com/srv/kernel.ubuntu.com/git/acelan/acelan-jaunty.git
NOTE. The reference git tree(ex. linux-2.6) shouldn’t be removed under any circumstances, or the reference object will disappear and the git tree will become unusable. The file .git/objects/info/alternates will record the referenced git tree, try to specify an available one, if you removed the original reference tree accidentally.

We usually cherry pick upstream kernel commit, this is the command.
git cherry-pick -s -e -x aa1812b3e

And the request letter format for cherry pick.
git request-pull \

git://kernel.ubuntu.com//my-jaunty.git \
