Clone from Github
I am trying to git the I2C library from github, but it asks for user name/password. I entered my Adafruit forum name to no avail. Please help.

Re: Clone from Github
Clone is for developers working on the code. To just get a copy to use. click on the "zip" button.

Thanks, I was just following Kevin Townsend's tutorial in the 16 channel I2C board writeup. He might want to change it.

Re: Clone from Github
OK, I am officially frustrated. There is no zip button. I was following the exact instructions that appear in multiple tutorials regarding downloading the code. And yes, I am a developer.
Has something been changed on the website? I am looking at screen shots from tutorials where the exact commandline I typed allows direct access to the repository.

Re: Clone from Github
It should be just to the right of the "clone" button:
If you want to use the "Clone" button, you need to create a Github account.

Re: Clone from Github
the instructions in the tutorial are for the command line. adafruit support is referring to accessing via the web.
type
at the command line on your pi. to get to a command line interface, if you're running the gui, startt up LXTerminal or type ctl-alt-F1 to get a console screen.
type
Code: Select all
git clone https://github.com/adafruit/Adafruit-Raspberry-Pi-Python-Code.git

Re: Clone from Github
Got it! It always asks for a username and password if there is an error/typo in the github clone url. So, when https://github.com/blahblah is entered correctly, it doesnt ask for a username.
