No, all repositories are read-only for anonymous users. 
By default only the owner of the repository has write access. If you can push to your own repo, it&#39;s because you are using one of the supported authentification methods (HTTPS, SSH, ...).

If you want to grant someone else privileges to push to your repo, you would need to configure that access in the project settings.

To contribute to projects in which you don&#39;t have push access, you push to your own copy of the repo, then ask for a pull-request. Linux is not a good example for that, because the kernel developers do not use GitHub pull requests.

No, but if the repository is public others can fork it, commit to their own fork.

They can then ask you to pull some of the changes in their fork into your repository via a pull-request.

Nobody can push directly to your repository if you are not already granting them write access.

The process for contributing to a public repository in GitHub starts by forking the repository, then **pushing the change onto the forked**, then creating a **pull request onto the original repository**. After that comes the role of the project owner to review and take action (merge/decline) of the requested code change.

# GLFW3
Last night I was working late trying to build the GLFW 3 packages for Linux from source. This process took me a very long time, about 3 hours in total, partly because I am unfamiliar with CMake, and partly because I am was unfamiliar with GLFW.
 
I hope that this post will save you from the difficulty I had yesterday! I thought I should make a short write-up, and hopefully save you several hours of your life...

Thanks to &quot;urraka&quot;, &quot;b6&quot; and &quot;niklas&quot; on the #glfw IRC channel, I have been able to get glfw version 3.0.1 working.

It turns out this is not a trivial process (certainly not for me, I am no expert) as there is not much documentation on the web about glfw3, particularly about setting it up with CMake.

I was asked to split this into a question and answer section, and so I have done that, and the answer parts are now below.

# Are you a maintainer of GLFW, or a member of the GLFW team?
If any of the maintainers of GLFW3 see this, then my message to them is please add a &quot;setting up GLFW3 on Windows, Mac OS X and Linux&quot; section to your website! It is quite easy to write programs with GLFW, since the online documentation is quite good, a quick scan of all the available classes and modules and you&#39;ll be ready to go. The example of a test project featured [here][1] is also very good. The two main problems I found were, firstly how do I set up GLFW3 on my system, and secondly how to I build a GLFW3 project? These two things perhaps aren&#39;t quite clear enough for a non-expert.

# Edit

Had a brief look today (Date: 2014-01-14) it looks as if the GLFW website has undergone heavy changes since I last looked and there is now a section on compiling GLFW and buliding programs with GLFW, which I think are new.

I am trying to implement delegated authorization in a Web API for mobile apps using OAuth 2.0. According to specification, the implicit grant flow does not support refresh tokens, which means once an access token is granted for an specific period of time, the user must grant permissions to the app again once the token expires or it is revoked. 

I guess this is a good scenario for some javascript code running on a browser as it is mentioned in the specification. I am trying to minimize the times the user must grant permissions to the app to obtain a token, so it looks like the Authorization Code flow is a good option as it supports refresh tokens. 

However, this flow seems to rely heavily on a web browser for performing the redirections. I am wondering if this flow is still a good option for a mobile app if a embedded web browser is used. Or should I go with the implicit flow ?

I am new to git as well as github. I set up a repo on github, and I can push local stuff to this remote repo. Now here is the question: just after I push something to the remote repo, and I refresh the page, I can see the changes are uploaded(for example, if I wrote a readme.txt and push it to the remote repo, where such a readme.txt did not exist, after push and refresh the page, it appears).

So can anybody change my repo on github freely? Or if I push something to linux kernal, can the changes I made be added to it and public for all?

I just upgraded Git. I&#39;m on Git version 1.8.3.

This morning I tried to unstash a change 1 deep in the stack.

I ran `git stash pop stash@{1}` and got this error.

    

&gt; fatal: ambiguous argument &#39;stash@1&#39;: unknown revision or path not in
&gt; the working tree.
&gt;     Use &#39;--&#39; to separate paths from revisions, like this:
&gt;     &#39;git &lt;command&gt; [&lt;revision&gt;...] -- [&lt;file&gt;...]&#39;

I&#39;ve tried about 20+ variations on this as well as using `apply` instead of `pop` with no success. What&#39;s changed? Anyone else encounter this?

When I use bash autocompletion in Git, it keeps showing me branches of old remotes that I don&#39;t have anymore. When I do a `git branch -la` it shows those old remotes and branches while a `git branch -l` won&#39;t. A `ls .git/refs/remotes/` also shows them. However, they are not present in my *.git/config* and neither are they shown when I run `git remote show`.

So how do I get rid of them because my autocomplete list is too long right now. 

I have already tried:

    git reflog expire --expire=now --all
    git gc --prune=now
    rm .git/refs/remotes/theoldremote
    git remote prune theoldremote

I&#39;m also aware of the fact that I can just re-clone the repo but that&#39;s just cheating ;-)

I have code in Eclipse that I&#39;d like to upload to GitHub but so far I can&#39;t figure out how. It says &quot;create a repository&quot; but that looks more like a folder that holds your projects and I&#39;m not sure how to upload my code to it. Apologies for the seemingly dumb question. Also, how does one delete repositories? Didn&#39;t see a way to do that either.

While trying to setup a dropbox folder with git, I saw a &quot;Icon\r&quot; file which is not created by me. I try to ignore it in the ~/.gitignore file. But adding `Icon\r` `Icon\r\r` `Icon?` won&#39;t work at all.

In a git repository, is there any difference/benefit using `git grep` over good old `grep`?

How to install an npm package from GitHub directly

I have been using GitHub for a little while, and I have been fine with `git add`, `git commit`, and `git push`, so far without any problems. Suddenly I am having an error that says:

&gt; fatal: Authentication Failed

In the terminal I cloned a repository, worked on a file and then I used `git add` to add the file to the commit log and when I did `git commit`, it worked fine. Finally, `git push` asks for username and password. I put those in correctly and every time I do this, it says the same error.

What is the cause of this problem and how can I fix it?

The contents of `.git/config` are:

    [core]
            repositoryformatversion = 0
            filemode = true
            bare = false
            logallrefupdates = true
    [remote &quot;origin&quot;]
            url = http://www.github.com/######/Random-Python-Tests
            fetch = +refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/origin/*
    [branch &quot;master&quot;]
            remote = origin
            merge = refs/heads/master
    [user]
            name = #####
            email = ############





Git push results in &quot;Authentication Failed&quot;

Is there a way to control the order in which files appear in a gist? They don&#39;t seem to be alphabetical or chronological. I&#39;d like to have a README.md appear as the first file in [a multi-file gist](https://gist.github.com/Sinetheta/6003037), but no amount of &quot;deleting&quot; a file and re-adding it seems to change anything.

Is there an order to these files that I&#39;m not seeing, or does GitHub maintain an internal filetype priority list?

Mac OSX Lion 10.7.

In an effort to get around weird environment stuff (homebrew wasn&#39;t installing wget, and I had all sorts of weird blocks and errors), I uninstalled zschrc and homebrew and a bunch of other stuff, then installed fish shell.

Now, whenever I try to push/pull to/from github, I get this error:

    The authenticity of host &#39;github.com (204.232.175.90)&#39; can&#39;t be established.
    RSA key fingerprint is &lt;string of colon-separated chars that I should probs keep private&gt;.
    Are you sure you want to continue connecting (yes/no)? yes
    Failed to add the host to the list of known hosts (/Users/sasha/.ssh/known_hosts).

So I tried to check the permissions of my ~./ssh folder, and got this, which looks fine to me:

    -rw-r--r--  1 sasha  staff    97B Jul  9 22:56 config
    -rw-------  1 sasha  staff   1.7K May 16  2012 id_rsa
    -rw-r--r--  1 sasha  staff   403B May 16  2012 id_rsa.pub
    drwx------  5 sasha  staff   170B Jul 15 09:56 known_hosts

All that&#39;s in known_hosts is a pem file I used for ssh&#39;ing (also with the &quot;authenticity...&quot; prompt) to an Amazon ec2 instance, though I tried copying id_rsa and id_rsa.pub there when things got desperate. 

Any idea what&#39;s going on? I&#39;d love to fix this so I don&#39;t get prompted all the many times I push/pull.

**EDIT** I followed [these instructions][1] successfully a while ago, so I do have my ssh keys on Github, and they&#39;re recognized, so that when I run *ssh -T git@github.com*, I get 

    Hi sashafklein! You&#39;ve successfully authenticated, but GitHub does not provide shell access.

It seems to be exclusively my *local* computer that&#39;s unhappy with my ssh situation.

I want to create a two dimensional array in Javascript where I&#39;m going to store coordinates (x,y). I don&#39;t know yet how many pairs of coordinates I will have because they will be dynamically generated by user input.

Example of pre-defined 2d array:

    var Arr=[[1,2],[3,4],[5,6]];

I guess I can use the PUSH method to add a new record at the end of the array. 

How do I declare an empty two dimensional array so that when I use my first Arr.push() it will be added to the index 0, and every next record written by push will take the next index?

This is probably very easy to do, I&#39;m just a newbie with JS, and I would appreciate if someone could write a short working code snippet that I could examine. Thanks

Declare an empty two-dimensional array in Javascript?

I have been working on my local on a web app and I was ask to push it to an empty(only read me file on it) private repo created just for this project. I&#39;m new to `git` and I&#39;m having trouble doing so. 

Can someone tell me what am I doing wrong? 


I first navigate to the main folder of the app in my local using command line and initialize git. After, I try cloning the remote repo with:

    git clone git://github.com/somename/Web-App.git

but I get the error:

&gt; Cloning into &#39;Web-App&#39;... fatal: remote error:    Repository not
&gt; found.

I know the repo is there.. Do I actually need to clone or pull from that remote first or is there a way to just push to that repo. 

Again, all I&#39;m trying to do is to get the files that I have in my local pushed to a specific repo that I was given access to. 

I will really appreciate any help. 

Git pushing to a private repo

I was just wondering what does the `-u` flag mean in this command? 

    git push -u origin master



What does the -u flag mean in git push -u origin master?

Even after reading this question: [git-push-current-branch][1], I am still having difficulty figuring out how I should write my `git push` command. As mentioned in the question link, it&#39;s not clear from the documentation.

I would like to use my &#39;real world&#39; example. Following is what I see when I run the `git status` command on the top level of my branch:

&gt; On branch amd_qlp_tester
&gt; 
&gt; Your branch is ahead of &#39;origin/amd_qlp_tester&#39; by 5 commits.
&gt; 
&gt; etc...

My branch name is `amd_qlp_tester` but it was &quot;branched&quot; off from the main branch (if I have the terms wrong it&#39;s because of my SVN background). But then there is also the name `origin/amd_qlp_testser`

So how do I phrase my push command?

Is it any of the following?

    git push origin/amd_qlp_tester
    git push origin amd_qlp_tester
    git push amd_qlp_tester
    git push origin
    git push
