How to create a group in dist-git

You may want to read first Groups in Fedora for information on the different types of groups in Fedora.

Dist-git does not allow anyone to create groups, only admins can do it via the pagure-admin CLI tool.

To create a group, you can simply run the command on pkgs01.iad2.fedoraproject.org:

pagure-admin new-group <group_name> <username of requester> \
      --description="short description" \
      --display="Name used in the UI"

The group members are then sync upon their login in dist-git (ie: people will have to log out and back in for their group membership to be refreshed).

How to give groups from someone to someone else can be found in How to give a group from someone to someone else in dist-git.
