Comment (by Samuel Hartmann):
Replying to [comment:1 Mohamed Nabil Rady]:
> This seems like a Github issue and not a Django issue, I think the user
can figure out the problem from the git error message.
From my point of view, the issue here isn't the error message itself (Of
course we can't change/fix the error).
Instead the issue is that the documentation is incomplete.
The documentation is incomplete because it intends to give the correct
prerequisites in the
[https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/internals/contributing/writing-code
/working-with-git/#installing-git Installing Git] section.
But these are actually not all requirements which are necessary to follow
the subsequent steps.
Since this documenation especially targets first time contributers, I
suggest to make it as easy as possible.
It took me at least one hour to get the SSH setup running.
This may definitely be enough to sicourage most of the first timers.
So my intention with this ticket is to simplify the contribution for first
time contributers as much as possible, to enlarge the community which
maintains Django in the long run.
