Are you sure you cloned the rw repository?

No not sure -- it's been a while since I cloned it. "git pull" worked though, but that is probably unrelated.

Please note that I was using git for other projects before gretl migrating. This sourceforge+git is a bit different (we are pushing to our own repository and then it is merged in master official repository).

You may change the repository in the config file to have the correct RW URL. Or a safer way is to rename the your current local gretl-git directory to free its name and do the cloning with the RW URL.

How exactly would the username + password work, at what stage, which commands?

This would happen when you want to push the changes. (Not really sure if still possible)

In normal git use, I do not have writing permissions on the master project, so I must push to my forked repository (which I own), and then create a Pull Request (PR) to the master project. They will reject or accept my PR, and they do a merge if so.

This is the difference with sourceforge+git, because this PR and merge is automatically (and transparent). Maybe Allin or Jack, have a better visibility of this.

(What I did was: edit de.po, do "git commit po/de.po" apparently
successfully, build a test version of gretl locally, and then try to
do "git push".)

Before the commit you should have done a "git add -i" (-i for interactive).

Sure? The commit stage itself seems to have worked.

No, it didn't. Looking at the po changes in http://sourceforge.net/p/gretl/git/ci/master/tree/

I see my name and last commit 2 days ago.

(actually my HelioGuilherme66 is my name in Github, but the link goes to the SourceForge user)

I don't remember if we must have a Github account, and if you must generate a SSH key from the account Github profile page. I have done this before for Linux (manually) and Windows is much easier (installing git tools + git shell) it does the key generation for you.
