      Surely you did not do "step7: clearly explain what you have done, tried and failed at".
      Anyway..

      So, did you sign the ICLA or CCLA and the LA for the pfSense portal ? Did you recieve a email that you added to the pfsense-tools team? Did you configure your public ssh key to github?

          pfsense-tools moved onto GitHub as a private repo a while ago. After completed the CLA you should have it as a repo in GitHub. That GitHub repo has the RELENG_2_2 branch from which you should be able to clone and build 2.2.* …

          I guess the CLA signup code is no longer automagically adding access to the git.pfsense.org:pfsense-tools repo?

          @cmb @jimp ?

            @sreekupm@gmail.com:

            I had done above steps but stuck up here what I can do?
            [2.2.4-RELEASE][admin@pfSense.localdomain]/home/pfsense: git clone -b RELENG_2_2 git@github.com:pfsense/pfsense-tools.git tools
            Cloning into 'tools'…
            Permission denied (publickey).
            fatal: Could not read from remote repository.

            Some questions where asked after you asked that.
            @PiBa:

            • So, did you sign the ICLA or CCLA and the LA for the pfSense portal ?
            • Did you recieve a email that you added to the pfsense-tools team?
            • Did you configure your public ssh key to github?

            Which you did not answer..

            @sreekupm@gmail.com:

            I am stuck up
            root@develop:/usr/ports/devel/git # cd /home/pfsense && git clone git@git.pfsense.org:pfsense-tools tools
            Cloning into 'tools'…

            Indeed you are.. And probably will be for a while longer.. Why now try and clone a different repository? Others have confirmed the github repository to be working fine? (when ICLA/CCLA LA are signed, and ssh key has been configured)

            If i may repeat myself.. Please read the other posts in this thread, and don't blindly run commands until something breaks, instead try to understand what your doing, pretty much all information required is there already.

            Could you please answer the 3 questions above before continuing with other attempts?

                    Ok good that worked out.

                    1- investigate how for example "the wall" theme changes the gui, then create your own theme?
                    2- create your own package repository, and install packages from there?
                    3- so you dont want a iso? If your lucky the "./build.sh iso" command has other options to? Did you check?

                        So where do you think the build scripts get the normal pfSense gui from? Do you think that could be the https://github.com/pfsense/pfsense.git which was set in step3 of the building steps ? So its probably possible replace that to a cloned&modified git repository of your own to create a fully customized gui if thats what you want.

                        There might be other ways to accomplish changing the normal pfSense webgui build to, which i currently dont know, and im not going to investigate as you should do that yourself.

                        Anyway this topic is not about how to customize every single thing there is in pfSense, you succeeded in building the iso and thats as far as this topic is supposed to help you, so if you dont mind please ask further not directly related questions in another topic, perhaps one you create. Thanks.
