i-scream Git Repositories |

</h1> |
| 16 |
<p> |
| 17 |
The i-scream Git repositories contain the currently |
| 18 |
developed source code. All historic source code can be |
| 19 |
found in <a href="/cvs.xhtml">CVS</a>. |
| 20 |
</p> |
| 21 |
<p> |
| 22 |
All code available in the Git repositories is |

Web Access |
| 28 |
</h3> |
| 29 |
<p> |
| 30 |
We use GitWeb to provide a visual frontend to the Git |
| 31 |
repositories. It allows you to browse around each repository, |
| 32 |
viewing any version of a file, and the differences between |
| 33 |
different versions. There is also a link to download the |
| 34 |
latest version of any section. |

Anonymous Git Access (read-only) |
| 41 |
</h3> |
| 42 |
<p> |
| 43 |
Anyone can access the i-scream Git repositories in anonymous |
| 44 |
read-only mode. The following commands will both allow you |
| 45 |
to check out the libstatgrab repository. To see what other |
| 46 |
repositories are available you can look at the web frontend. |
| 47 |
Choose whichever protocol you prefer. |
| 48 |
</p> |
| 49 |
<pre> |
| 50 |
git clone http://git.i-scream.org/libstatgrab |
| 51 |
git clone git://git.i-scream.org/libstatgrab |

Developer CVS Access (write) |
| 55 |
</h3> |
| 56 |
<p> |
| 57 |
The i-scream development team have write access to the |
| 58 |
required Git repositories. This is only available over SSH on |
| 59 |
a non-standard port. You will need to have a SSH key |
| 60 |
installed on the server first. Then just clone and push |
| 61 |
using ssh. |
| 62 |
</p> |
| 63 |
<pre> |
| 64 |
git clone ssh://git@git.i-scream.org/libstatgrab |

GitHub Mirror |
| 68 |
</h3> |
| 69 |
<p> |
| 70 |
Our Git repositories are mirrored on GitHub. The master |
| 71 |
repository that we'll push commits to is located here, but |
| 72 |
we provide the GitHub mirrors to make it easier for you to |
| 73 |
make changes and work with our code. |

Git guidelines |
| 80 |
</h3> |
| 81 |
<p> |
| 82 |
We've chosen a set of guidelines to work by so that |
| 83 |
everybody is clear about how the Git repositories will be |
| 84 |
used. This should make life easier for developers and |
| 85 |
users. The aim is to keep things clear and simple without |
| 86 |
adding unnecessary overheads. We don't have need for |
| 87 |
anything as complex as git-flow. |
| 88 |
</p> |
| 89 |
<ol> |
| 90 |
<li> |
| 91 |
The <code>master</code> branch will always be buildable |
| 92 |
and should be usable. Development work does not happen |
| 93 |
here directly. |
| 94 |
</li> |
| 95 |
<li> |
| 96 |
New releases will be taken from the <code>master</code> |
| 97 |
branch and will be tagged there. |
| 98 |
</li> |
| 99 |
<li> |
| 100 |
The master branch will never have its history rewritten. |
| 101 |
</li> |
| 102 |
<li> |
| 103 |
Development work will be done on branches. These |
| 104 |
branches may only live for the period of the development |
| 105 |
work. Once the work is complete and tested it will be |
| 106 |
merged to master and the branch may be deleted. |
| 107 |
</li> |
| 108 |
<li> |
| 109 |
The history on development branches may be rewritten to |
| 110 |
tidy things up before merging. This probably won't |
| 111 |
happen often, but don't get upset if it does. |
| 112 |
</li> |
| 113 |
<li> |
| 114 |
If you want to submit changes it's best to do them |
| 115 |
against the <code>master</code> branch unless you're |
| 116 |
specifically working with a developer on an issue |
| 117 |
already. |
| 118 |
</li> |
| 119 |
<li> |
| 120 |
Gratuitous merge commits should be avoided, particularly |
| 121 |
when merging development branches to <code>master</code>. |
| 122 |
They don't offer much in the way of useful information |
| 123 |
and make operations like bisect harder. In particular, |
| 124 |
if you pull changes to your local repository and end up |
| 125 |
with a merge commit you should use rebase to get rid of |
| 126 |
it before pushing. |
