Newbie installation issues

[Griffin-Sullivan]

I think it'll be easier to just run through this list and check them off or delete them as we fix.

• Tag_project needed me to assign a key for gpg git. Something like git config --global user.signingkey <my_key>
• Tag_push didn’t work because tool_belt used http clone had to reclone everything with ssh #400
• Bump_packaging needs foreman-packaging cloned into ~/dev and run the following #401

Pip install obal
Yum install git-annex rpmdev-tools
In ~/.gitconfig
[alias]
  ph = "!git push $(whoami) HEAD --set-upstream --quiet"
  pr = "!hub pull-request"
  phr = "!git ph && git pr"

• Drop Append CLI release notes taken from the hammer-cli and hammer-cli-foreman changelogs, in theforeman.org. From the instructions #402
• Add contributors script to theforeman-rel-eng #403
• Ctrl + d escapes script for release_announcement #404
• Specify that updates to the /web folder are done in master only #405
• The required Redmine issues check blocks some steps #312
• Can’t push directly to foreman-documentation master #406
• Update web/content/index.adoc and web/content/js/versions.js to add 3.9 as a release candidate” Shouldn’t exist #407

• Tag_project needed me to assign a key for gpg git. Something like git config --global user.signingkey <my_key>

I don't think this is tracked before, but certainly something that belongs in the README

• Tag_push didn’t work because tool_belt used http clone had to reclone everything with ssh

I've configured git to rewrite push URLs: git config --global [email protected]:.pushInsteadOf https://github.com/

• Bump_packaging needs foreman-packaging cloned into ~/dev and run the following:

Note the ~/dev directory is configurable:

theforeman-rel-eng/settings

Line 57 in 17a45eb

GIT_DIR="${GIT_DIR:-$HOME/dev}"

You can override it in settings.local:

theforeman-rel-eng/settings

Lines 10 to 13 in 17a45eb

	# load user local settings
	if [[ -f "settings.local" ]]; then
	. "settings.local"
	fi

It now clones foreman-packaging as needed, but 940a720 was probably merged after you got started.

Additional installations are added in #199

The additional aliases aren't documented. It may be better to avoid them and call the commands directly. Let's take that part to #337

I've converted everything into separate issue because it's easier to have individual discussions.
