Revision as of 10:17, 28 January 2010

This page is a work in progress, and is not yet complete. Git repositories at Eclipse.org are experimental and are not fully deployed. Not every project has a Git repository -- just like not every project has an SVN repository.

If you're a project committer and you'd like to experiment with Git, please see Bug 257706 comment 173.


Git mirrors of CVS repositories

The CVS repositories at Eclipse.org are being mirrored to read-only Git repositories. Please see the git repositories page for the full list of repositories.

Git repositories (experimental)

Eclipse projects may use either CVS, SVN or Git. The project you are looking for may not be using Git. Please see CVS_Howto and SVN_Howto for more information. If you are unsure which type of repository a project is using, please go to that project's home page.

My Eclipse project wants to use Git

If you're a project committer and you'd like to experiment with Git, please see Bug 257706 comment 173.

Committers new to Git

Before working on a Git repository, please:

  • Read Git for Dummies
  • Note that anyone can commit to their repo, but only Eclipse committers can push their repo to git.eclipse.org
  • DON'T FORGET to configure your git environment
   git config --global user.email my_committer_email@address.com
   git config --global user.name "John Doe"

List of Git repositories available

(There are none yet, but CVS projects are mirrored to Git. See above.)

Connecting, cloning a repo

Please see the list of Git repositories (above).

   git clone ssh://committer_id@git.eclipse.org/gitroot/project/repo

Example:

   git clone ssh://droy@git.eclipse.org/gitroot/babel/org.eclipse.babel.server.git

Committing and pushing

Before committing code to your cloned repo, please ensure that your Git environment is properly set. Otherwise, the email address stored in the commit transaction in your repository will not match the email address of your Eclipse Committer record with the Eclipse Foundation, and your push will fail.

Creating a new repository

Webmaster can create a new repository for you. Just open a bug against Eclipse Foundation > Community > Git. However, Eclipse committers with shell accounts can create new repositories:

   cd /gitroot/your_project
   mkdir org.eclipse.your.repo.name.git
   cd org.eclipse.your.repo.name.git
   git init --bare --shared
