| + | So how do we prepare the public to this fight; enlightenment. , |
− | | |
− | | |
− | '''NOTE:''' For increased pleasure use git 1.5 or later.
| |
− | | |
− | == Pointers ==
| |
− | There are plenty of good git tutorials on the net. A small collection of links can be seen below:
| |
− | | |
− | * [http://git.or.cz/gitwiki/GitDocumentation Official Documentation]
| |
− | * [http://git.or.cz/gitwiki/GitCheatSheet Cheat Sheet]
| |
− | * [http://book.git-scm.com/ The Git Community Book]
| |
− | * [http://eagain.net/articles/git-for-computer-scientists/ Git For Computer Scientists]
| |
− | * [http://progit.org/book/ Pro Git]
| |
− | * [http://www.google.com/search?q=git+documentation&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&aq=t Google Search]
| |
− | | |
− | == Setup ==
| |
− | | |
− | | |
− | === Getting the data (read-only) ===
| |
− | git clone git://git.openembedded.org/openembedded
| |
− | | |
− | === Getting the data (write-access) ===
| |
− | | |
− | For this command to succeed you need to have provided a SSH key (see [[#Generating a ssh key]]).
| |
− | | |
− | git clone git@git.openembedded.org:openembedded
| |
− | | |
− | === Generating a ssh key ===
| |
− | To be able to push to the OpenEmbedded git server you will need to have the right permissions. This starts with having your public ssh key on the server. Generate a key and send the public key to the one of the core developers.
| |
− | | |
− | # send the resulting pub key to koen, mickeyl, RP, or zecke [http://lists.linuxtogo.org/pipermail/openembedded-devel/2008-October/006291.html [email address]]
| |
− | ssh-keygen -t rsa or -t dsa
| |
− | | |
− | === Upgrading your data (lurking) ===
| |
− | git pull --rebase
| |
− | | |
− | This command will fetch new objects from the server, and try to put your local changes on top of the newly fetched revisions for your current branch. If you have no local revisions you will still be updated.
| |
− | | |
− | Depending on your git version this command may fail and does not report any error message: Version 1.5.6.5 (Debian Lenny) does, 1.5.5.1 (Fedora 9) does not. The message is
| |
− | "refusing to pull with rebase: your working tree is not up-to-date".
| |
− | | |
− | In case that 'git pull --rebase' does not work for you, try the following:
| |
− | | |
− | git stash
| |
− | git pull --rebase
| |
− | git stash pop
| |
− | | |
− | This information was taken from the [http://wiki.videolan.org/Git#Setting_up_.22git_up.22_.28Tip.29 VideoLAN Wiki].
| |
− | | |
− | === Checking out a branch ===
| |
− | # See which branches are available
| |
− | git branch -a
| |
− | | |
− | # In theory create a branch and switch
| |
− | git checkout -b local origin/remote
| |
− | | |
− | # you will now be in the dreambox branch and track this.
| |
− | git checkout -b org.openembedded.dreambox origin/org.openembedded.dreambox
| |
− | | |
− | === Configuring your tree for commits ===
| |
− | | |
− | If you forget this, your name and email in the commit mails, may be messed up.
| |
− | | |
− | git config user.name "Your Name"
| |
− | git config user.email "you@name"
| |
− | | |
− | == Doing things with git ==
| |
− | | |
− | === Commit Message ===
| |
− | <package name> <version>| <package category> | <configfile/class name>: <summary>
| |
− | { - <detail 1>
| |
− | - <detail 2>}*
| |
− | | |
− | === Making your changes (old way) ===
| |
− | # if you have new files
| |
− | git add your/new/file
| |
− | | |
− | # Commit everything
| |
− | git commit -a
| |
− | | |
− | === Making your changes (better way) ===
| |
− | git add your/changed/files
| |
− | git commit
| |
− | | |
− | === Making your changes (a cool way) ===
| |
− | git add -i
| |
− | git commit
| |
− | | |
− | === Amending to your changes ===
| |
− | You forgot something, no big deal, change the commit
| |
− | | |
− | git add your/others/changes
| |
− | git commit --amend
| |
− | | |
− | == Commiting someones else work ==
| |
− | git commit --author "Other One <other@one>"
| |
− | | |
− | == Pushing your changes ==
| |
− | # just pushes the org.openembedded.dev
| |
− | git push origin org.openembedded.dev
| |
− | | |
− | # the same, just simpler
| |
− | git push
| |
− | | |
− | # just pushes your things to a test branch. Use the right branch! dangerous!
| |
− | git push origin yourname/testbranch
| |
− | | |
− | # delete a branch
| |
− | git push origin :yourname/testbranch
| |
− | | |
− | == Dealing with conflicts ==
| |
− | Git will tell you what needs resolving. You can use kdiff3, meld, or many other tools to resolve the conflict. Don't be afraid you can easily redo and undo everything.
| |
− | | |
− | # Conflicts from here or something else
| |
− | git pull --rebase
| |
− | git status
| |
− | | |
− | # Starts interactive resolver, TOOL can be kdiff3, meld or anything else
| |
− | git mergetool --tool=TOOL filename
| |
− | | |
− | git rebase --continue or similar once everything got resolved
| |
− | | |
− | == Working with git ==
| |
− | === Feature branches ===
| |
− | ==== Create your own short lived feature branch ====
| |
− | git checkout -b yourname/yourfeature origin/org.openembedded.dev
| |
− | | |
− | ==== Push your feature branch ====
| |
− | git push origin yourname/yourfeature
| |
− | | |
− | ==== Delete your branch after it was merged ====
| |
− | git push origin :yourname/yourfeature
| |
− | | |
− | ==== Upgrade/Rebase your branch to the latest version ====
| |
− | git fetch origin
| |
− | git rebase origin/org.openembedded.dev
| |
− | | |
− | ==== Change your history ====
| |
− | # select edit, squash, pick to say what to do with the commit
| |
− | | |
− | git rebase -i origin/org.openembedded.dev
| |
− | | |
− | # to abort the operation on a tricky merge
| |
− | git rebase --abort
| |
− | | |
− | # to find out a previous state to use with git reset
| |
− | git reflog
| |
− | | |
− | == Seeing changes ==
| |
− | | |
− | === Log ===
| |
− | # See what happened in a branch
| |
− | git log branch
| |
− | | |
− | # See the change, HEAD or branch name will work too
| |
− | git show --color (COMMIT)
| |
− | | |
− | # Only show you change on foo/file
| |
− | git show --color HEAD -- foo/file
| |
− | | |
− | # Graphical browser
| |
− | gitk
| |
− | | |
− | === What did you change ===
| |
− | # Lists you the revs that are only in your branch compared to org.openembedded.dev
| |
− | git rev-list origin/org.openembedded.dev..
| |
− | | |
− | == Other Interesting commands ==
| |
− | # fetch new revisions from all remote repositories
| |
− | git fetch
| |
− | | |
− | # show your local branches and which branch you are in
| |
− | git branch
| |
− | | |
− | # show your all branches
| |
− | git branch -a
| |
− | | |
− | # create a branch and switch to it
| |
− | git checkout -b MYNAME origin/THEIRNAME
| |
− | | |
− | # upgrade a branch
| |
− | git push origin org.openembedded.dev
| |
− | git reflog
| |
− | | |
− | # Change your index to be at the state of REF
| |
− | git reset REF
| |
− | | |
− | # Kill the last commit
| |
− | git reset HEAD^1
| |
− | | |
− | # Prepare a set of patch
| |
− | git format-patch origin
| |
− | | |
− | == Working with additional git repositories ==
| |
− | One of the neat things with git is you can easily work with external repositories.
| |
− | # add an external repository:
| |
− | git remote add openmoko.org git://git.openmoko.org/git/openmoko.git
| |
− | git fetch openmoko.org
| |
− |
| |
− | # view all remote branches available
| |
− | git branch -r
| |
− | | |
− | # view changes on a remote branch
| |
− | gitk openmoko.org/org.openmoko.asu.stable
| |
− | git log openmoko.org/org.openmoko.asu.stable
| |
− | | |
− | # view all diffs
| |
− | git diff origin/org.openembedded.dev openmoko.org/org.openmoko.asu.stable
| |
− |
| |
− | # view diffs in just one subdirectory
| |
− | git diff origin/org.openembedded.dev openmoko.org/org.openmoko.asu.stable classes
| |
− | | |
− | | |
− | == Examples ==
| |
− | | |
− | | |
− | === Example 1: ===
| |
− | | |
− | vi packages/gaim/gaim.inc
| |
− | git commit packages/gaim/gaim.inc
| |
− | git pull --rebase
| |
− | | |
− | should have a log message like this:
| |
− | | |
− | gaim: make sure do_install does its job in gaim.inc
| |
− | * install lib to ${libdir} instead of /usr/lib
| |
− | * remove executable bits from docs
| |
− | | |
− | === Example 2: ===
| |
− | | |
− | diff /tmp/foo.c /oe/work/gtk+-2.8.4-r0/gtk+-2.8.4/src/foo.c > gtk-2.8.4/fix-foo.patch
| |
− | vi gtk+_2.8.4.bb
| |
− | git add gtk-2.8.4/fix-foo.patch
| |
− | git commit gtk-2.8.4/fix-foo.patch gtk+_2.8.4.bb
| |
− | git pull --rebase
| |
− | | |
− | should have a log message like this:
| |
− | | |
− | gtk+ 2.8.4: add patch for buffer overflow
| |
− | | |
− | === Example 3: Working with a private branch ===
| |
− | | |
− | Download and create a remote private branch "origin/ulf/linux-2.6.30.2".
| |
− | The local copy of the branch will be called "ulf/linux-2.6.30.2"-
| |
− | When you do:
| |
− | | |
− | git branch -a
| |
− | | |
− | local branches will be at the top, and remote branches
| |
− | will be sorted in alpabetical order.
| |
− | | |
− | Create the local branch and prepare:
| |
− | | |
− | git clone git@git.openembedded.org:openembedded
| |
− | cd openembedded
| |
− | git config user.name "Ulf Samuelsson"
| |
− | git config user.email "ulf.samuelsson@atmel.com"
| |
− | git checkout -b ulf/linux-2.6.30.2 origin/org.openembedded.dev
| |
− | | |
− | Add something:
| |
− | | |
− | touch test
| |
− | git add test
| |
− | git commit -m "test" test
| |
− | | |
− | Create a remote private branch from the local branch.
| |
− | It will be called "origin/ulf/linux-2.6.30.2"
| |
− | | |
− | git push origin ulf/linux-2.6.30.2
| |
− | | |
− | Create a local branch, based on your remote private branch:
| |
− | | |
− | git checkout -b ulf/linux-2.6.30.2 origin/ulf/linux-2.6.30.2
| |
− | | |
− | Add something to your local branch:
| |
− | | |
− | touch test2
| |
− | git add test2
| |
− | git commit -m "test2" test2
| |
− | | |
− | Update your remote private branch:
| |
− | | |
− | git push origin ulf/linux-2.6.30.2
| |
− | | |
− | Once the remote branch has been updated from a local
| |
− | branch you need to update any other local branches by:
| |
− | | |
− | git fetch origin
| |
− | | |
− | Prepare patches for the mailing list:
| |
− | | |
− | git format-patch origin
| |
− | | |
− | Remove your local branch:
| |
− | | |
− | git checkout org.openembedded.dev
| |
− | git branch -d ulf/linux-2.6.30.2
| |
− | | |
− | or possibly:
| |
− | | |
− | git branch -D ulf/linux-2.6.30.2
| |
− | | |
− | Note that the openembedded git server will not
| |
− | allow you to delete a private branch.
| |
− | Send an email to the mailing list and this will be fixed.
