Launchpad itself

How do people download a branch from me?

Asked by Ian T. Jacobsen

Everytime I try to type "bzr branch lp:mba" I get a request for a public key, which I then find on my profile, but it won't work!
Why do people even need that public key to download? Isn't it supposed to be free to download on launchpad?
So, what SSH key should I use for this problem?
I do use PuttY something, that holds the private key, and automaticly types the password in, but this is not practical for when others need to download or/and my team needs to upload, so please help!
Thanks in advance!

Well, I just chose to move to assembla since I can't figure out how to use this, and this is WAY too complicated§ launchpad I mean...

You can't grab source code for a project until it's been pushed to.

Once you do push to it, you can use bazaar to grab the source via HTTP or SSH.

Grabbing the source with "bzr branch lp:mba" will use SSH. If you don't what to use SSH, then you need to use SSH, then you need to use HTTP. How you do this is "bzr branch https://code.edge.launchpad.net/~ian.t.jacobsen/mba/game".

Bazaar has special launchpad integration to allow for those extremely short links.

That's because this branch hasn't been pushed to yet. Once there is code to be pulled, it'll work just fine.

Note:
When you do push to it, you'll need to use --use-existing-dir since the directory exists on the server.

Oh... the public key thing.

You need to add your own ssh key to your launchpad profile in order for launchpad to verify who you are. There's detailed instructions on https://launchpad.net/~ian.t.jacobsen/editsshkeys

Can you help with this problem?
