Henshin/Committer Instructions
Henshin uses Gerrit for handling code reviewing and merging. This implies specific processes when setting up the development environment and pushing changes.
Set-up
This is what you need to do for the set-up:
- If you don't have one yet, generate a SSH RSA key pair: do ssh-keygen -t rsa in the git shell.
- Register your public key at https://git.eclipse.org/r/#/settings/ssh-keys
- Make sure your git's local committer e-mail address matches the one registered at https://git.eclipse.org/r/#/settings/contact
- To view the local e-mail address, do git config user.email. An empty result means the e-mail address has not been set yet.
- To change the local e-mail address, do git config --global user.email [your email address here]
- In the same manner, you can view and change your committer name using the user.name environment variable.
- To ensure correct handling of line endings when using Windows, please use the following git configs: core.autocrlf=true and core.filemode=false. If you have dirty projects due to Windows line endings, try a hard reset after setting the config.
- Clone the Henshin repo (in Eclipse) from ssh://committer_id@git.eclipse.org:29418/henshin/org.eclipse.emft.henshin
- Restarting Eclipse before this step may be required.
- It is also possible to clone via https, but with a separate HTTP passwordw.
- In the Git perspective, open the Repository: Remotes -> origin -> Gerrit Configuration... -> Finish. Check out the plug-ins you want to work on.
- In case of build errors for the plug-in org.eclipse.emf.henshin.cpa, please follow the instructions to reconcile the dependency to AGG.
Pushing changes
After pushing a change, a corresponding entry on Gerrit has been created. Please invite (a subset of) the other committers as reviewers, doing this for all changes.
