Install SparkleShare¶

You'll need the SparkleShare client app. It's available for Mac OS X, Windows, and Linux.

Simply head to sparkleshare.org and download SparkleShare.

After the installation has finished, SparkleShare will present you with your unique Link Code (or public key as it's called in Planio). Click on the Copy button next to it.

Paste your link code into Planio¶

Within Planio, navigate to My account -> Public keys and click on Add.

Give your key a name, for instance the name of your computer, and paste the SparkleShare link code you copied previously.

Create your first Git repository¶

Repositories are versioned and secure data storage areas within Planio. You can have as many repositories as you want per project.

To create one, navigate to any of your Planio projects, and then to Settings -> Repositories -> New repository.

Select Git as your SCM, and enter an Identifier, for example documents. Then click Create.
