Pootle FS Git plugin

Installation

Currently only available for developer install:

https://github.com/translate/pootle_fs_git

The core pootle_fs app is also required (also dev only):

https://github.com/translate/pootle_fs

Currently also requires the no_mtime branch of pootle:

https://github.com/phlax/pootle/tree/no_mtime

Pootle configuration

(env) $ pootle fs MYPROJECT set_fs git GIT_URL

MYPROJECT should be the name of a project in your Pootle site.

GIT_URL should be git ssh url.

Git authentication

Currently only ssh authentication is supported.

The user running the pootle commands therefore must have a working ssh environment and read/write access to the git repository in order to synchronize.

Custom .pootle.ini options

When using the git pootle_fs plugin there are some git-specific options

[default]
commit_message = "A custom commit message..."
author_name = "My Self"
author_email = "[email protected]"
committer_name = "Pootle Server"
committer_email = "[email protected]"
