Revision as of 08:15, 5 July 2011 by Pwebster.ca.ibm.com (Talk | contribs) (Clone your repo)

We'd like to capture some common CVS workflows used by the Eclipse Project and spell out the git/EGit equivalent.

Clone a repo

The first step is to clone the one or more repos you need to work on. You want to clone the repo to a location outside your workspace. Then use the EGit Import Projects option to import the projects.

Refer to the EGit/User Guide for instructions and pictures.

  1. Switch to the Git Repository Exploring Perspective
  2. Use Clone a Git repository Clone a git repository
  3. you can paste in your connection URL and it should do the right thing. Some URLs:
    1. ssh://userid@git.eclipse.org/gitroot/equinox/rt.equinox.bundles.git
    2. ssh://userid@git.eclipse.org/gitroot/equinox/rt.equinox.framework.git
    3. ssh://userid@git.eclipse.org/gitroot/equinox/rt.equinox.incubator.git
    4. ssh://userid@git.eclipse.org/gitroot/equinox/rt.equinox.p2.git
    5. ssh://userid@git.eclipse.org/gitroot/equinox/rt.equinox.security.git
    6. ssh://userid@git.eclipse.org/gitroot/jdt/eclipse.jdt.core.git
    7. ssh://userid@git.eclipse.org/gitroot/jdt/eclipse.jdt.debug.git
    8. ssh://userid@git.eclipse.org/gitroot/jdt/eclipse.jdt.git
    9. ssh://userid@git.eclipse.org/gitroot/jdt/eclipse.jdt.ui.git
    10. ssh://userid@git.eclipse.org/gitroot/pde/eclipse.pde.build.git
    11. ssh://userid@git.eclipse.org/gitroot/pde/eclipse.pde.git
    12. ssh://userid@git.eclipse.org/gitroot/pde/eclipse.pde.incubator.git
    13. ssh://userid@git.eclipse.org/gitroot/pde/eclipse.pde.ui.git
    14. ssh://userid@git.eclipse.org/gitroot/platform/eclipse.platform.debug.git
    15. ssh://userid@git.eclipse.org/gitroot/platform/eclipse.platform.git
    16. ssh://userid@git.eclipse.org/gitroot/platform/eclipse.platform.releng.git
    17. ssh://userid@git.eclipse.org/gitroot/platform/eclipse.platform.resources.git
    18. ssh://userid@git.eclipse.org/gitroot/platform/eclipse.platform.runtime.git
    19. ssh://userid@git.eclipse.org/gitroot/platform/eclipse.platform.swt.git
    20. ssh://userid@git.eclipse.org/gitroot/platform/eclipse.platform.team.git
    21. ssh://userid@git.eclipse.org/gitroot/platform/eclipse.platform.text.git
    22. ssh://userid@git.eclipse.org/gitroot/platform/eclipse.platform.ua.git
    23. ssh://userid@git.eclipse.org/gitroot/platform/eclipse.platform.ui.git
  4. Next
  5. Select all branches to clone
  6. Next
  7. Confirm the location that it will clone the repository into.
  8. an initial branch of master and a remote name of origin are standard.
  9. Finish - Now just sit back while git copies the entire repo to your harddrive :-)

We need to get the projects from the repo into our workspace:

  1. right click on your newly cloned repo and select Import Projects
  2. you want Import existing projects from the Working Directory
  3. Next
  4. Select the projects that you want to import from the repository
  5. Finish

Now you can start working.

Start working in HEAD

Start working in a new branch

Create a patch

Apply a patch

Tag the mapfile for a build

Commit changes to HEAD

Update to pull in the latest changes to HEAD

Merge conflicting changes
