adding git fetch origin keyring:keyring to contributing.texi
(address . guix-patches@gnu.org)
87eeoeetet.fsf@dismail.de
Hello,
I recently followed the guix manual guide for building guix from git
(great work by the way. That is an awesome guide). However, when I
tried to run "make authenticate", or "guix authenticate", or guix git
authenticate 9edb3f66fd807b096b48283debdcddccfea34bad \ "BBB0 2DDF
2CEA F6A8 0D1D E643 A2A0 6DF2 A33A 54FA", I got this error:
guix git: error: Git error: cannot locate remote-tracking branch 'keyring'
After running
#BEGIN_SRC sh
git fetch origin keyring:keyring
#END_SRC
Everything worked.
Thanks,
Joshua

Subject: [PATCH] doc: add command to fetch keyring branch
* doc/contributing.texi (Building from Git): I added a command to fetch the
keyring branch. Without this command, users may not be able to authenticate
guix.
