From c30d5621ede95d57d2259b006649d031fa4a0923 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: James Lowe Date: Sun, 1 Feb 2015 11:32:50 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] Doc: CG added notes about Google Account Settings Issue 4250 Both git-cl and pathcy scripts assume that the user has a Google account set up. It seems that the [default] Account setting 'Access for less secure apps' must be set to 'Allowed' for these two tools to work as expected. Added an @warning in the two sections that state the Google account requirement. --- Documentation/contributor/administration.itexi | 8 ++++++++ Documentation/contributor/source-code.itexi | 15 ++++++++++++--- 2 files changed, 20 insertions(+), 3 deletions(-) diff --git a/Documentation/contributor/administration.itexi b/Documentation/contributor/administration.itexi index 1f8b5b1de6..50f97ade9e 100644 --- a/Documentation/contributor/administration.itexi +++ b/Documentation/contributor/administration.itexi @@ -217,6 +217,14 @@ documentation.
