How to create a group in dist-git?

/!\ You may want to read first groups_in_fedora.md 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: give_groups_dist_git.md
