User:Fab/Personal aports repo
This page was made to check the existing guides to setup a developer repository and publish it at git.alpinelinux.org. I use the aports repository because this requires a bit more of configuration than just setting up a repo at git.alpinelinux.org.
git clone git://git.alpinelinux.org/aports.git
SSH access to git.alpinelinux.org and some space is needed.
Create a repository
Create a directory on your local system.
mkdir aports
Initialize the git repository and create a first commit
echo "testing" > aports/test.txt cd aports git init git add . git commit -m 'Initial commit'
Create a bare repo
Clone it to a bare repo
cd .. git clone --bare aports aports.git
Set the description
echo "fab's aports repo" > aports.git/description
Set the section and your name for cgit.
cat <<EOF >> aports.git/cgitrc section=Developer fab owner=Fabian Affolter EOF
Upload to git.alpinelinux.org
Copy the content to your the ~/cgit directory on git.alpinelinux.org.
scp -r aports.git git.alpinelinux.org:cgit/
Clean up
We no longer need the local aports.git directory.
rm -rf aports.git
Add your personal repo
So far git does not know anything about about the repositories.
cd aports git remote add origin ssh://git.alpinelinux.org/gitroot/aports
Add upstream source to merge with
Add the original source as a git remote repository ("upstream" can be whatever name you want to assign to the remote repository):
git remote add upstream git://git.alpinelinux.org/aports
Populate your repository
Now your personal repository can be filled with the data from the upstream aports repository.
git pull origin master
With a push the repository data will be upload to the git repository hosted by git.alpinelinux.org.
git push
Now everything is ready to make APKBUILD files.
