ETrice/Development/Repository

< ETrice‎ | Development
Revision as of 03:08, 5 June 2011 by Christoph.wiedmannkunz.de (Talk | contribs) (Git: Reorganising the first two chapters)

Git and eTrice

For eTrice we are using the Git-Repository from eclipse. For those people, who are not so familiar with Git, this chapter will give a step by step introduction.

Git in general and Git at Eclipse

After installation of EGit in Eclipse, you can look up "Git for Eclipse Users" in the EGit Documentation.

Installations on your computer


Clone eTrice Repository

Configuration

IMPORTANT: execute in shell or git shell:

  • git config --global user.email <your email address>
  • git config --global user.name "<your user name>"

pull/push (only for committers)

  • ssh: git clone ssh://<dein commiter name>@git.eclipse.org/gitroot/etrice/org.eclipse.etrice.git
  • https: git clone https://<dein commiter name>@git.eclipse.org/gitroot/etrice/org.eclipse.etrice.git

only pull

Use EGit

  • create empty workspace
  • open view "Git Repositories" or perspective "Git Repository Exploring"
  • add repository path of your local git repository you cloned before
  • contextmenu on repository: "Import Projects..."
  • Next >
  • Select All + Finish

Create a Patch via Git Gui

  • open the Git Gui from your windows menu
  • open your "local Git Repositoriy"
  • from the main menu select "Projektarchiv" => "Historie von >>master<< darstellen"
  • in the new window the latest master version must be selected (blue)
  • right click on "lokale Änderungen"
  • in the contextmenu select "Patch erstellen"

Checkout a previous revision

Inspect the log and determine the commit id you want to change to. Then git checkout this:

 $ git checkout 2eb90f4643fd425f77de2b88753a86416cda0166
 Note: checking out '2eb90f4643fd425f77de2b88753a86416cda0166'.
 
You are in 'detached HEAD' state. You can look around, make experimental changes and commit them, and you can discard any commits you make in this state without impacting any branches by performing another checkout.
If you want to create a new branch to retain commits you create, you may do so (now or later) by using -b with the checkout command again. Example:
git checkout -b new_branch_name
HEAD is now at 2eb90f4... ui.structure: during creation take position as midpoint of new interface item. Adjusted PopulateDiagramCommand accordingly.

working with branches

creating a local branch

pushing a local branch

creating a remote tracking branch

pulling for remote tracking branches

If you often merge with the same branch, you may want to use something like the following in your configuration file:

   [branch "before_indigo"]
   remote = <nickname>
   merge = <remote-ref>
   [remote "<nickname>"]
   url = <url>
   fetch = <refspec>

With EGit the configuration can be accesses from the Git Repositories View context menu > Open Properties View The Properties View displays the current configuration and offers an Edit button in the upper left corner.

Here is an example of a pull configuration for a remote tracking branch:

Using the eTrice github clone

According to https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=332970 Eclipse projects with git repositories (and correct metadata set) are mirrored to github.

And so is eTrice: https://github.com/eclipse/etrice

Here are some slides explaining how github is accessed using EGit: http://www.slideshare.net/loianeg/using-the-egit-eclipse-plugin-with-git-hub-2578587

Any github user can fork an existing github repository. This facilitates collaborating with contributors which have no commit rights.

Some hints to create Documentation

Location of Documentation

- ETrice Documentation will be put to org.eclipse.etrice.doc

- numbering of chapters is 000-xxx, 005-yyy, 010-zzz, 015... to have room for inject some chapters

- images (put to the folder images) should have the same numbering according to the chapters

- within the etrice-index.txt document the ordering of the chapters will be done. This file will be used from the build prozess to collect all single .textile files to produce the complete Doku.

- build prozess will be started from the external tool menu => "build-etrice-doc". (you must have internet access during production of the docu)


Within the .textile file

- with F1 you can get a list of the formating strings

- some formating options does not work well for all document types e.g. __italic__ does not work in the pdf file if the string contains "_". => therefore, for names which reference a concrete model name (shown in a picture or code block) use: "??This_is_my_name??" == citation

Images

- use IrfanView to create screen shots (everything on board what you need)

- use the png format to save pictures (i had never problems with that)

- pictures should not be larger than 640*480 pixels. Otherwise they will cause problems in the PDF file. IrfanView: Ctrl+r => resize image

- to sharpen the images, use IrfanView: Image=>sharpen to create perfect screen shots.
