Publish developer repositories on cgit
Developers with SSH access can publish their repositories repositories on cgit.
Create a repository
Create a directory on your private computer
mkdir mytest cd mytest
init git and create a first commit
echo "testing" > test.txt git init git add . git commit -m 'initial commit'
Create a bare repo
Clone it to a bare repo
cd .. git clone --bare mytest mytest.git
Set the description
echo "My git/cgit test" > mytest.git/description
Publish it on git.alpinelinux.org
Set the section for cgit
vim mytest.git/cgitrc
Add something like this to the file
section=Developer ncopa
Copy the content to ~/cgit dir on git.alpinelinux.org
scp -r mytest.git git.alpinelinux.org:cgit/
Clean up
We no longer need the local bare repository.
rm -rf mytest.git
Add upstream source to merge with
If the project you uploaded is a clone of an existing repo (aports for example), 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
Then, to synchronize your local copy with upstream then push your changes (might need to fix merge conflicts if/when they happen):
git pull upstream master git push
Git Push (Distributed Workflows)
If working with Distributed Workflows you would 'pull' from public repo, 'push' to another publically accessable repo (where you have write access), main developer (who has write access to public repo) 'pulls' you changes from your pub.accessed.repo into the public repo.
To make it easier for you to work, you can configure 'git push' to push your work to your publically accessable repo ('git pull' would still pull from same repo as you cloned from).
cd /your/private/repo/where/you/work/reponame git config remote.origin.pushurl "ssh://user@dev.alpinelinux/home/user/cgit/reponame.git"
Now 'git pull' pulls the public repo, and 'git push' pushes to your public repo.
