Stardust/Contributing via Gerrit
Stardust uses Gerrit Code Review for its Git repositories. Please refer to Handling Git Contributions via Gerrit for a general overview.
Prerequisites
Obtaining/Reviewing Git credentials in Gerrit
Gerrit handles all PUSHes into Stardust repositories. In consequence the credentials used for PUSHing are to be maintained within Gerrit as well.
- Use your eclipse.org account to log into Gerrit.
- Logging in for the first time might require some extra confirmation. For this, please review the on screen instructions.
- Using HTTPS URLs is probably the easiest way of setting up your contributor workspace. This will require a combination of username/password, which can be generated/obtained at Settings/HTTP Password.
HTTP sends passwords in plain text. To ensure your password remains a secret only HTTPS should be used.
- Alterntively SSH keys can be used. This will require to provide one or several public keys at Settings/SSH Public Keys. However, use of SSH is not further explained in this article.
Cloning a Target Repository
- Use File / Import... / Projects from Git to open the Clone wizard, choose URI for Repository Source.
- In the following page, enter the repository URI (e.g. https://git.eclipse.org/r/p/stardust/org.eclipse.stardust.ide.git). Feel free to fill in Authentication details. However, just for Cloning a repository no credentials are required.
Enabling Gerrit has required a new set of repository URIs. For HTTPS as access method, the new URIs are following the schema https://git.eclipse.org/r/p/stardust/repository.name.git, where repository.name has to be replaced with the actual name (org.eclipse.stardust.ide in the example).
