Traditionally we have two different account types within KDE. Some people use https://$username@svn.kde.org and some people use svn+ssh://$username@svn.kde.org. While we are moving to git we can not use the https version anymore, write access to the git repository will be based on ssh keys.

To streamline your move to git, you will have to convert your svn account from https (if you are using that) to svn+ssh by providing us with your ssh public key. If you do that, you will automatically get write access to the git repositories. If you already have a svn+ssh account, there is nothing you need to do right now.

To facilitate the move from password to ssh based accounts, we have created a special page where you can request the conversion.

Please note that if you are behind a firewall, which blocks port 22, you should not convert your account at this moment. We are working on a solution!
