Git repository backup

Git is distributes system, the beauty of the git make is more robust and easy to recover from any last known good working copy.

However, You can not always rely on such copy and you will definitely need proper backup solution to deal with such situation.

There are many ways to take backup of git repositories.
I am listing few here.

You can directly take a tar of the git repo directory as it has the whole bare contents of the repo on server. There is a slight possibility that somebody may be working on repo while taking backup.
The following command will give you the bare clone of repo (just like it is in server), then you can take a tar of the location where you have cloned without any issue.
git clone –bare {your backup local repo} {new location where you want to clone}

OFFERINGS/ACTIVITIES/PRACTICES UNDER SCM/BUILD/RELEASE/DEPLOYMENT
I am in the process of making a list of Offerings/Activities/Practices under SCM/build/release/Deployment area.

Can some someone please suggest some of those Offerings/Activities/Practices which come under SCM/build/release/Deployment.

i have attached a some of the listing in the document.

NAME OF THE TEAM WHICH HAS CM, BUILD, RELEASE, APPOPP AND DB ENGINEER
Hello Folks,

I am looking for ideal NAME OF THE TEAM which has CM, Build, Release, AppOpp Support and Database engineers. Few people Suggested that it should be DevOps and some of them voted for EnterpriceAppOps Team. What is the naming convention is being used in your company? Please comment for new name as well if you have some idea.

ESCAPING A PASSWORD USING MYSQLDUMP CONSOLE
when you use the quotes, make sure there is no space :
between -p and ‘PASSWORD’ or
between –password= and ‘PASSWORD’

correct:
mysql -u root -p’PASSWORD’
mysql -u root –password=’PASSWORD’

does not work:
mysql -u root -p ‘PASSWORD’
mysql -u root –password = ‘PASSWORD’

you can also define a variable and then use it for the command (still with no spaces in between) MSQLPWD=’PASSWORD’
mysql -u root -p$MSQLPWD

RELEASE VERSION PORTAL
Hi,

We have a complex product architecture having multiple integrated component making a complete solution.

Each component has its own development team and which provide their delivery to release management team

We have catered the version numbering system where all components are sent under one version in incremental manner.

Now in order to provide the high level visibility to the management about what version of which component is running in QA staging and prod i need to have url based dashboard.

How can achieve this using any simple free tool which enable the font end data form entry , and when someone click on specific version hyperlink it should redirect to release notes of that version in SharePoint.

We tried creating list in SharePoint but it didn’t work as we need environment name as columns and components as rows against which we have to enter version number in the grid table as hyperlinks.

something like

QA staging Prod
Component A 1.7.4 4.24.4 1.4.5
Component B 3.46.5 3.5.7 3.5.7
Component C 3.6.5 3.5.7 2.6.7

PUPPET
As anyone worked on puppet Configuration Management tool? Can you please provide the complete details about that or point me to any web portal which contains details except puppetlabs.com

CODE PROMOTION MODEL
Hi ,

I am looking for a code promotional model example like how to dev-> qa -> uat _ release.

CANNOT OPEN THE DISK
Earlier my disk was full and my VMware stopped working.

Later when i start my VM after disk cleanup, i am getting following error. any idea?
Cannot open the disk ‘C:\Windows XP Professional-000002.vmdk’ or one of the snapshot disks it depends on.
Reason: The specified virtual disk needs repair.

BEST PRACTICE IN BRANCHING
Git does not dictate a process, so usually each project does. Common featurs:
–> Branch for features
–> Branch for fixes
–> Branch for experiments

HOW TO HIRE THE BEST WEBSITE DESIGN COMPANY.
Once a business has been developed and set up properly, the need for a website arises. The website is the online identity of a company and it is necessary that you hire an experienced and professional website design company who can complete the task perfectly. While looking for the best website design company you should compare the prices as well as services offered by the various companies in the market. Before hiring a website design company, it is necessary to assemble the various ideas or thoughts of what your business needs and requirements are. Even if you have already hired a web designer, you still need your website to project your ideas. Creating a list of ideas and services that you plan to offer through your site is a good idea so that when you hire the design company, you are already prepared.

You should also make sure that the company you hire has a good track record in terms of customer satisfaction. This can be done by asking your friends who have utilized the firm’s services or by reading customer reviews online. Checking out their work portfolio can give you a better view of their work quality and their individual style. You can choose the services of a firm depending on whether or not the services offered meet your requirements and specifications and whether that design company has the ability and talent required to design your website you are thinking of.

COMPONENT OBSOLESCENCE TRACKING
Often obsolescence management is confined to availability of parts, but the issue of obsolescence management goes beyond. There are key issues related to it- design for the longest possible product life cycle, availability of electronic parts, skills to modify the product, product knowledge, system and domain, tools to modify the product and continuing Electronic Security and Support Issues. While the product is being designed it is important to identify the parts that pose the greatest obsolescence risk. Component Obsolescence Management has to be balanced against product features.

For example, opto-electronic displays (LCDs, OLEDs) commonly tend to become obsolete quickly despite big promises made by their vendors. The design phase will result in a list of parts that are at risk for obsolescence. A proactive approach must be taken to manage these at risk parts. This is possible only if the product is part of an expensive long life cycle product. An estimate is prepared for the requirement of at risk parts for the entire life cycle and these parts are procured. This is a costly process and it is important to correctly identify the risk parts and limit the procurement to them. It is also important to store the parts acquired properly. A less costly approach for handling at risk components is to do obsolescence tracking for them. For critical components, it is essential that the availability be proactively checked every month. Thus, you will want to buy enough components to make sure your product stays in production while your engineering team redesigns the product to not use the part about to go obsolete.

EC2 FTP CONNECTION PROBLEM – WINDOWS INSTANCE –
We’re trying ftp connection from EC2 ftp client to external our server.
But we encounterd the following ftp connection problem.

We need to solve this problem.
We are very much appreciated if you could give us the solutions.

1. Problem
EC2 ftp client fail to conect to ftp Server ,
pwd or cd command can work, but ls, put and get comand cannot work.
We need to use Windows ftp command for connection.
ftp client is EC2 and have Elastic IP address
ftp server is on our office side and have grobal IP address.

2. ftp client Environment
Amazon EC2
Windows 2003 Server Instance
Windows ftp command
EC2 Elastic IP address – zz.zz.zz.zz
EC2 Internal IP address – aa.aa.aa.aa
We used EC2 as ftp client, not ftp server.

3. ftp Server Environment
ftp server is on our office Japan.
it have a grobal IP address xx.xx.xx.xx.

4. firewall security on our office
Our office -> EC2(internet) : all tcp permitted
EC2(internet) -> Our office: tcp20/21 permitted.

5. EC2 security group setting.
tcp20/21 from any IP permitted

6. EC2 ftp client Log
ftp> open xx.xx.xx.xx
Connected to xx.xx.xx.xx
220 ftp server ready.
User (xx.xx.xx.xx:(none)):
—> USER yyyyy
331 Password.
—> PASS ecopass
230 User yyyyy logged in super!
ftp> cd LogFiles\DayLog
—> CWD LogFiles\DayLog
250 CWD command succesful.
ftp> ls
—> PORT aa,aa,aa,aa,9,134
200 PORT command successful.
—> NLST
150 ASCII data.

xx.xx.xx.xx means that ftp Server grobal IP address
aa,aa,aa,aa means that EC2 Internal IP address

7. ftp Server ftp log
Session 7, Peer xx.xx.xx.xx ftp Server session started
Session 7, Peer xx.xx.xx.xx ftp Server session started
Session 7, Peer xx.xx.xx.xx USER xxxx
Session 7, Peer xx.xx.xx.xx 331 User name ok, need password
Session 7, Peer xx.xx.xx.xx ftp: Login attempt by: xxxx
Session 7, Peer xx.xx.xx.xx PASS XXXXXXX
Session 7, Peer xx.xx.xx.xx 230 User logged in
Session 7, Peer xx.xx.xx.xx ftp: Login successful
Session 7, Peer xx.xx.xx.xx PORT aa,aa,aa,aa ,5,106 <- EC2 Internal IP Address Session 7, Peer xx.xx.xx.xx 200 PORT command successful. Session 7, Peer xx.xx.xx.xx NLST Session 7, Peer xx.xx.xx.xx Could not connect to peer. Aborting transfer. Session 7, Peer xx.xx.xx.xx 226 Closing data connection Session 7, Peer xx.xx.xx.xx QUIT Session 7, Peer xx.xx.xx.xx 221 Service closing control connection Session 7, Peer xx.xx.xx.xx ftp: Connection closed. 8. reason why It seems that EC2 Internal IP address is used when ftp Server tried to tansfer data to EC2 ftp client by TCP20. We tried ftp PASSIVE mode by literal command, but rejected by ftp Server. ftp> literal pasv
—> pasv
502 [pasv] Command not implemented.

W need to solve this problem.

Thank you for reading.

LOOKING FOR SUGGESTIONS FOR BUILD JOBS
Looking for suggestions for build jobs using Mercurial MQ

Hello

I’ve recently setup matrix projects to test Py libs (so far axis are
the version of the interpreter and versions of dependencies) .
Considering the fact that Hudson Mercurial plugin doesn’t provide
explicit support for MQ (AFAIK) I’m looking for suggestions so as to
find ways to work around this limitation in order to achieve the
following

1. First of all I’d like to test each and every revision
committed to the repository . I think this could be
achieved by parameterizing the build job and
supplying individual revision number
to the build in the Hg hook that triggers it
from remote (is there a better way to do this ?)
2. I’d like to start a variable number of jobs , more
precisely one job for each patch in the queue .
The goal is to ensure that every patch will work
if applied against repository trunk (have
no idea of how to do this …)
3. I need to copy some (script) files to the workspace
before starting the build (and I don’t use neither Ant
nor Maven, nor MSBuild, nor … I just need to copy
static files ;o) .
4. I need to publish in the build results page
some files generated
during the build (binaries, logs, … ) and browse
(some of) them inside Hudson site . They should
be accessible from the page showing build results
e.g. myserver.com/job/jobname/49

(I suppose this is the «Archive the artifacts» +
«Files to archive» combination … isn’t it ? )
5. I need to execute custom scripts only if the build
succeds.

Please ideas and suggestions about how to do this (and probably
plugins that need to be installed, …) will be very welcomed.

Thnx in advance !

Top 5 Open Source Code Management tools

by scmgalaxy KSource Code ManagementLeave a Comment on Top 5 Open Source Code Management tools
top-5-open-source-code-management-tools
The old way of software development where the release engineers ran from one mates to another mates to keep track on Developers to know which module they are working and when they changed something in the code or which bugs has been tracked or fixed. No doubt, that process was pathetic, stressful, filled with issues and errors.
But, now things have changed. This is the era of DevOps where everyone works as a Team and collaborate with each other and use various tools in the Software Development Lifecycle. So, today we are going to discuss on one of the most important tool called by name Code Management Tools. In this article we will see top 5 open source code management tools which are mostly used by DevOps professionals these days.
But before going further lets see what is source code management?
Code management is actually a process of handling or managing changes to source code over time with the help of softwares or tools. These softwares keeps track of every changes and modifications in the code which is made by developers frequently. If there is some kind of mistakes made by developers they can simply go back compare it with previously written code and fix the mistakes easily. With the help of code management tools Developers team can work on different features and on bug fixing simultaneously by changing code with out disrupting team members. In other words you can say It give developers the ability to work concurrently on files (in branches that may or may not converge) without conflicting each other and also give developers the ability to merge changes with other developers’ changes, to track and audit changes that were requested and made, to track bug-fix status and to perform releases.
So now the question is which code management tools to use. When you search for the options you will get hundred of tools in your search results. To make this job easy for you we have done some research and make this list of Top 5 Open Source Code Management tools.

1. Subversion

git-interview-questions-and-answer

Q1. What is GIT?

Git is a distributed version control system and source code management (SCM) system with focus to handle small and large projects source code versions in the local repository with speed and efficiency. It is free and open source and its one of widly used versioning tools used ever worldwide.

Q2. What do you understant the repository in Git?

A repository in git, consists of .git directory which contains the each source code commited in form of objects created using SHA1 algorithms. A .git directry where git keeps all of its metadata for the source code in objects forms. It also contains the git configuration file, breanch reference and staging state of the work space.

Q. What is the command you can use to write a commit message?

The command that is used to write a commit message is “git commit –m”this is reason for commit”.  The –a on the command line instructs git to commit the new content of all tracked files that have been modified. You can use “git add <file>” before git commit –a if new files need to be committed for the first time.

In nutshell, any new changes has to added from working directory to stageing area and then commit from staging area to reposiory. Please refer the image for the same as below;

Q. What is the difference between GIT and SVN?

The difference between GIT and SVN is

  1. Git is less preferred for handling extremely large files or frequently changing binary files while SVN can handle multiple projects stored in the same repository.
  2. GIT does not support ‘commits’ across multiple branches or tags.  Subversion allows the creation of folders at any location in the repository layout.
  3. Gits are unchangeable, while Subversion allows committers to treat a tag as a branch and to create multiple revisions under a tag root.

Q. What are the advantages of using GIT?

  1. Data redundancy and replication
  2. High availability
  3. Only one.git directory per repository
  4. Superior disk utilization and network performance
  5. Collaboration friendly
  6. Any sort of projects can use GIT

Q. What language is used in GIT?

GIT is fast, and ‘C’ language makes this possible by reducing the overhead of runtimes associated with higher languages.

Q. What is the function of ‘GIT PUSH’ in GIT?

‘GIT PUSH’ updates remote refs along with associated objects.

Q. Why GIT better than Subversion?

GIT is an open source version control system; it will allow you to run ‘versions’ of a project, which show the changes that were made to the code overtime also it allows you keep the backtrack if necessary and undo those changes.  Multiple developers can checkout, and upload changes and each change can then be attributed to a specific developer.

Q. What is “Staging Area” or “Index” in GIT?

Before completing the commits, it can be formatted and reviewed in an intermediate area known as ‘Staging Area’ or ‘Index’.

Q. What is GIT stash?

GIT stash takes the current state of the working directory and index and puts in on the stack for later and gives you back a clean working directory.  So in case if you are in the middle of something and need to jump over to the other job, and at the same time you don’t want to lose your current edits then you can use GIT stash.

Q. What is GIT stash drop?

When you are done with the stashed item or want to remove it from the list, run the git ‘stash drop’ command.  It will remove the last added stash item by default, and it can also remove a specific item if you include as an argument.

Q. How will you know in GIT if a branch has been already merged into master?

Git branch—merged lists the branches that have been merged into the current branch

Git branch—no merged lists the branches that have not been merged

Q. is the function of git clone?

The git clone command creates a copy of an existing Git repository.  To get the copy of a central repository, ‘cloning’  is the most common way used by programmers.

Q. What is the function of ‘git config’?

The ‘git config’ command is a convenient way to set configuration options for your Git installation.  Behaviour of a repository, user info, preferences etc. can be defined through this command.

Q. What does commit object contain?

  1. A set of files, representing the state of a project at a given point of time
  2. Reference to parent commit objects
  3. An SHAI name, a 40 character string that uniquely identifies the commit object.

Q. How can you create a repository in Git?

In Git, to create a repository, create a directory for the project if it does not exist, and then run command “git init”. By running this command .git directory will be created in the project directory, the directory does not need to be empty.

Q. What is ‘head’ in git and how many heads can be created in a repository?

A ‘head’ is simply a reference to a commit object. In every repository, there is a default head referred as “Master”.  A repository can contain any number of heads.

Q. What is the purpose of branching in GIT?

The purpose of branching in GIT is that you can create your own branch and jump between those branches. It will allow you to go to your previous work keeping your recent work intact.

Q. What is the common branching pattern in GIT?

The common way of creating branch in GIT is to maintain one as “Main“

branch and create another branch to implement new features. This pattern is particularly useful when there are multiple developers working on a single project.

Q. How can you bring a new feature in the main branch?

To bring a new feature in the main branch, you can use a command “git merge” or “git pull command”.

Q. What is a ‘conflict’ in git?

A ‘conflict’ arises when the commit that has to be merged has some change in one place, and the current commit also has a change at the same place. Git will not be able to predict which change should take precedence.

Q. How can conflict in git resolved?

To resolve the conflict in git, edit the files to fix the conflicting changes and then add the resolved files by running “git add” after that to commit the repaired merge,  run “git commit”.  Git remembers that you are in the middle of a merger, so it sets the parents of the commit correctly.

Q. To delete a branch what is the command that is used?

Once your development branch is merged into the main branch, you don’t need development branch.  To delete a branch use, the command “git branch –d [head]”.

Q. What is another option for merging in git?

“Rebasing” is an alternative to merging in git.

Q. What is the syntax for “Rebasing” in Git?

The syntax used for rebase is “git rebase [new-commit] “

Q. What is the difference between ‘git remote’ and ‘git clone’?

‘git remote add’  just creates an entry in your git config that specifies a name for a particular URL.  While, ‘git clone’ creates a new git repository by copying and existing one located at the URI.

Q. What is GIT version control?

With the help of GIT version control, you can track the history of a collection of files and includes the functionality to revert the collection of files to another version.  Each version captures a snapshot of the file system at a certain point of time. A collection of files and their complete history are stored in a repository.

Q. Mention some of the best graphical GIT client for LINUX?

Some of the best GIT client for LINUX is

  1. Git Cola
  2. Git-g
  3. Smart git
  4. Giggle
  5. Git GUI
  6. qGit

Q. What is Subgit? Why to use Subgit?

‘Subgit’ is a tool for a smooth, stress-free SVN to Git migration.  Subgit is a solution for a company -wide migration from SVN to Git that is:

a)      It is much better than git-svn

b)      No requirement to change the infrastructure that is already placed

c)       Allows to use all git and all sub-version features

d)      Provides genuine stress –free migration experience.

Q. What is the function of ‘git diff ’ in git?

‘git diff ’ shows the changes between commits, commit and working tree etc.

Q. What is ‘git status’ is used for?

As ‘Git Status’ shows you the difference between the working directory and the index, it is helpful in understanding a git more comprehensively.

Q. What is the difference between the ‘git diff ’and ‘git status’?

‘git diff’ is similar to ‘git status’, but it shows the differences between various commits and also between the working directory and index.

Q. What is the function of ‘git checkout’ in git?

A ‘git checkout’ command is used to update directories or specific files in your working tree with those from another branch without merging it in the whole branch.

Q. What is the function of ‘git rm’?

To remove the file from the staging area and also off your disk ‘git rm’ is used.

Q. What is the function of ‘git stash apply’?

When you want to continue working where you have left your work, ‘git stash apply’ command is used to bring back the saved changes onto the working directory.

Q. What is the use of ‘git log’?

To find specific commits in your project history- by author, date, content or history ‘git log’ is used.

Q. What is ‘git add’ is used for?

‘git add’ adds file changes in your existing directory to your index.

Q. What is the function of ‘git reset’?

The function of ‘Git Reset’ is to reset your index as well as the working directory to the state of your last commit.

Q. What is git Is-tree?

‘git Is-tree’ represents a tree object including the mode and the name of each item and the SHA-1 value of the blob or the tree.

Q. How git instaweb is used?

‘Git Instaweb’ automatically directs a web browser and runs webserver with an interface into your local repository.

Q. What does ‘hooks’ consist of in git?

This directory consists of Shell scripts which are activated after running the corresponding Git commands.  For example, git will try to execute the post-commit script after you run a commit.

Q. Explain what is commit message?

Commit message is a feature of git which appears when you commit a change. Git provides you a text editor where you can enter the modifications made in commits.

Q. How can you fix a broken commit?

To fix any broken commit, you will use the command “git commit—amend”. By running this command, you can fix the broken commit message in the editor.

Q. Why is it advisable to create an additional commit rather than amending an existing commit?

There are couple of reason

  1. The amend operation will destroy the state that was previously saved in a commit.  If it’s just the commit message being changed then that’s not an issue.  But if the contents are being amended then chances of eliminating something important remains more.
  2. Abusing “git commit- amend” can cause a small commit to grow and acquire unrelated changes.

Q. What is ‘bare repository’ in GIT?

To co-ordinate with the distributed development and developers team, especially when you are working on a project from multiple computers ‘Bare Repository’ is used. A bare repository comprises of a version history of your code.

Q. How do you revert a commit that has already been pushed and made public?

One or more commits can be reverted through the use of git revert. This command, in essence, creates a new commit with patches that cancel out the changes introduced in specific commits. In case the commit that needs to be reverted has already been published or changing the repository history is not an option, git revert can be used to revert commits. Running the following command will revert the last two commits:

git revert HEAD~2..HEAD

Alternatively, one can always checkout the state of a particular commit from the past, and commit it anew.

Q. How do you squash last N commits into a single commit?

Squashing multiple commits into a single commit will overwrite history, and should be done with caution. However, this is useful when working in feature branches. To squash the last N commits of the current branch, run the following command (with {N} replaced with the number of commits that you want to squash):

git rebase -i HEAD~{N}

Upon running this command, an editor will open with a list of these N commit messages, one per line. Each of these lines will begin with the word “pick”. Replacing “pick” with “squash” or “s” will tell Git to combine the commit with the commit before it. To combine all N commits into one, set every commit in the list to be squash except the first one. Upon exiting the editor, and if no conflict arises, git rebase will allow you to create a new commit message for the new combined commit.

Q. How do you find a list of files that has changed in a particular commit?

git diff-tree -r {hash}

Given the commit hash, this will list all the files that were changed or added in that commit. The -r flag makes the command list individual files, rather than collapsing them into root directory names only.

The output will also include some extra information, which can be easily suppressed by including a couple of flags:

git diff-tree –no-commit-id –name-only -r {hash}

Here –no-commit-id will supress the commit hashes from appearing in the output, and –name-only will only print the file names, instead of their paths.

Q. How do you setup a script to run every time a repository receives new commits through push?

To configure a script to run every time a repository receives new commits through push, one needs to define either a pre-receive, update, or a post-receive hook depending on when exactly the script needs to be triggered.

Pre-receive hook in the destination repository is invoked when commits are pushed to it. Any script bound to this hook will be executed before any references are updated. This is a useful hook to run scripts that help enforce development policies.

Update hook works in a similar manner to pre-receive hook, and is also triggered before any updates are actually made. However, the update hook is called once for every commit that has been pushed to the destination repository.

Finally, post-receive hook in the repository is invoked after the updates have been accepted into the destination repository. This is an ideal place to configure simple deployment scripts, invoke some continuous integration systems, dispatch notification emails to repository maintainers, etc.

Hooks are local to every Git repository and are not versioned. Scripts can either be created within the hooks directory inside the “.git” directory, or they can be created elsewhere and links to those scripts can be placed within the directory.

Q. What is git bisect? How can you use it to determine the source of a (regression) bug?

Git provides a rather efficient mechanism to find bad commits. Instead of making the user try out every single commit to find out the first one that introduced some particular issue into the code, git bisect allows the user to perform a sort of binary search on the entire history of a repository.

By issuing the command git bisect start, the repository enters bisect mode. After this, all you have to do is identify a bad and a good commit:

git bisect bad # marks the current version as bad

git bisect good {hash or tag} # marks the given hash or tag as good, ideally of some earlier commit

Once this is done, Git will then have a range of commits that it needs to explore. At every step, it will checkout a certain commit from this range, and require you to identify it as good or bad. After which the range will be effectively halved, and the whole search will require a lot less number of steps than the actual number of commits involved in the range. Once the first bad commit has been found, or the bisect mode needs to be ended, the following command can be used to exit the mode and reset the bisection state:

git bisect reset

Q. What are the different ways you can refer to a commit?

In Git each commit is given a unique hash. These hashes can be used to identify the corresponding commits in various scenarios (such as while trying to checkout a particular state of the code using the git checkout {hash} command).

Additionally, Git also maintains a number of aliases to certain commits, known as refs. Also, every tag that you create in the repository effectively becomes a ref (and that is exactly why you can use tags instead of commit hashes in various git commands). Git also maintains a number of special aliases that change based on the state of the repository, such as HEAD, FETCH_HEAD, MERGE_HEAD, etc.

Git also allows commits to be referred as relative to one another. For example, HEAD~1 refers to the commit parent to HEAD, HEAD~2 refers to the grandparent of HEAD, and so on. In case of merge commits, where the commit has two parents, ^ can be used to select one of the two parents, e.g. HEAD^2 can be used to follow the second parent.

And finally, refspecs. These are used to map local and remote branches together. However, these can be used to refer to commits that reside on remote branches allowing one to control and manipulate them from a local Git environment.

Q. What is git rebase and how can it be used to resolve conflicts in a feature branch before merge?

In simple words, git rebase allows one to move the first commit of a branch to a new starting location. For example, if a feature branch was created from master, and since then the master branch has received new commits, git rebase can be used to move the feature branch to the tip of master. The command effectively will replay the changes made in the feature branch at the tip of master, allowing conflicts to be resolved in the process. When done with care, this will allow the feature branch to be merged into master with relative ease and sometimes as a simple fast-forward operation.

Q. How do you configure a Git repository to run code sanity checking tools right before making commits, and preventing them if the test fails?

This can be done with a simple script bound to the pre-commit hook of the repository. The pre-commit hook is triggered right before a commit is made, even before you are required to enter a commit message. In this script one can run other tools, such as linters and perform sanity checks on the changes being committed into the repository. For example, the following script:

#!/bin/sh
files=$(git diff –cached –name-only –diff-filter=ACM | grep ‘.go$’)
if [ -z files ]; then
exit 0
fi
unfmtd=$(gofmt -l $files)
if [ -z unfmtd ]; then
exit 0
fi
echo “Some .go files are not fmt’d”
exit 1

… checks to see if any .go file that is about to be commited needs to be passed through the standard Go source code formatting tool gofmt. By exiting with a non-zero status, the script effectively prevents the commit from being applied to the repository.

Basics of Git and Gerrit | Git & Gerrit Overview | Git and Gerrit Concept

by scmgalaxy KSource Code ManagementLeave a Comment on Basics of Git and Gerrit | Git & Gerrit Overview | Git and Gerrit Concept

basics-of-git-and-gerrit

Git & Gerrit

  • As per British English, Git means “unpleasant person”. The inspiration of designing Git is taken from “BitKeeper” and “Monotone”. 
  • Both are distributed revision control system. Git was originally designed as a low level version control system engine and on top of this Cogito and StGIT(Stacked Git) is developed. StGIT is a Python application that provides functionality similar to quilt. 
  • Git is a highly performant free and open source distributed version control system as compare and contrast to other centralized version control systems such as CVS, SVN, ClearCase, and Perforce. 
  • It was initially designed and developed by Linus Torvalds for Linux kernel development in 2005.
  • As per the analysis corresponding to Eclipse IDE users, Git has reported 30% adoption as of 2013 in software industry for VCS(Version Control System)/RCS(Revision Control System)/SCM(Source code management).
  • The Stable release of Git is released on August 23, 2013 which is of version 1.8.4. Its Initial release was introduced in the 7th april 2005 . Originally Git is developed in “C”.

Gerrit

  • Gerrit is a free, web-based review tool developed by Google for Android. 
  • It is developed with a git based workflow in mind. It acts as a firewall in front of a Git repository. 
  • Software developers working in a team can review each other’s changes/modifications on their source code using a web browser and approve or reject those changes. 
  • Gerrit works on “Change”s. A change is a set of modifications to various files in your repository to accomplish a task. It is essentially one large git commit with all the necessary changes which can be both built and tested. 
  • It integrates closely with Git, a distributed version control system. 
  • It was developed at Google by Shawn Pearce (founder of JGit) for the development of the Android project. Gerrit uses Google Web Toolkit to generate front-end JavaScript code from Java source. 
  • It is a SSH server. 
  • Gerrit centralizes the distributed nature of Git, while maintaining the advantages of a DVCS, by imposing a centralized workflow. 
  • Large corporations such as SAP, Sony Mobile, Qualcomm and many other enterprises, organisations and non affiliated individuals/volunteers contributed to the review and development of the code-base.
  • The Stable release of Gerrit is released on September 18, 2013 which is of version 2.7.   
  • Originally this tool was written in Python and now this tool is written in Java, Servlet and GWT. 
  • This is a code review tool and now Apache is having its license.
