To this date, this is the easiest way, as far as I know, to retrieve FGData in a secure and reliable way (probably because of (1) its sheer size as compared to the other repositories of the FlightGear project, and (2) some technical problems in the SourceForge Git infrastructure; other repositories can be cloned with HTTPS without any problem). This procedure is explained [[#alternate-method-clone-with-ssh-and-update-with-https|below]] in '''French''', and [https://sourceforge.net/p/flightgear/mailman/message/36633375/ here] in '''English'''. | ||
Users who are willing to take the time to read moderately technical explanations may be interested in the [[#tutorial-on-ssh-public-key-authentication-and-ssh-agent|tutorial on creating a pair of SSH keys, setting up an SSH agent and using it to do all Git transfers with the SSH protocol]] (in French). This is an alternate method, is quite secure and convenient when set up, but requires users to understand a few technical points regarding SSH public key authentication. They are all explained below, though, for those who are ready to read carefully. | Users who are willing to take the time to read moderately technical explanations may be interested in the [[#tutorial-on-ssh-public-key-authentication-and-ssh-agent|tutorial on creating a pair of SSH keys, setting up an SSH agent and using it to do all Git transfers with the SSH protocol]] (in French).
