Git for Linux Tools
In late February 2011, we moved from SVN to Git. Our SVN repositories were joined into one Git repository (and one for eclipse-build).
First steps
- Learn about Git: Pro Git, The Git Parable
- Read about Git at Eclipse
- Note the process by which things must be committed at eclipse.org
Commit messages
- See guidelines others have written such as this one
Branches
- Branches created for bug fixes
- prefix the name with the bug # and a 'very' short description (ex. 307258-automake-tabs-to-spaces)
- Release branches
- stable-Major.Minor
- Branches specific to a sub-project
- namespaced (ex. valgrind/remote, lttng/super-awesome-feature)
Tags
- Tag each release with vMajor.Minor.Micro
- See Semantic Versioning for more details
