| This document is for helping you get started on Moodle development with Git. For further details of Git, see [[:Category:Git]].
| | {{Template:Migrated|newDocId=/docs/guides/git/}} |
| | |
| == Set-up ==
| |
| | |
| 1. Go to [https://github.com/ Github] and create an account.
| |
| | |
| 2. Go to the [https://github.com/moodle/moodle official Moodle Github repository] and click on the Fork button. You now have your own github Moodle repository.
| |
| | |
| 3. Install Git on your computer. If you are on Mac, [http://code.google.com/p/git-osx-installer/ git-osx-installer] installs it in few click.
| |
| | |
| 4. Now the technical part, you will need to setup your SSH public key, so you can push to your github Moodle repository from your local Moodle repository. On Mac you can go on this [http://help.github.com/mac-key-setup/ Github help page]. If you are on another system, go to your Github administration page, to the section SSH Public Keys, and you should see a link to a help page. Done? Good! That was the most difficult part!
| |
| | |
| == Working on 2.0 ==
| |
| | |
| 1. Create a local clone repository of your github repository. In a terminal:
| |
| <code bash>
| |
| git clone git@github.com:YOUR_GITHUB_USERNAME/moodle.git ./YOUR_LOCAL_MOODLE_FOLDER/
| |
| </code>
| |
| | |
| 2. You will create a update script in order to update your github and local repository from git.moodle.org. Add a reference to this Moodle.org Git repository and make your local master branch tracking it:
| |
| <code bash>
| |
| cd ./YOUR_LOCAL_MOODLE_FOLDER/
| |
| git remote add upstream git://git.moodle.org/moodle.git
| |
| git fetch upstream
| |
| git branch --set-upstream master upstream/master
| |
| </code>
| |
| | |
| 3. Create the update script (name it "update_github")
| |
| | |
| <code bash>
| |
| cd YOUR_LOCAL_MOODLE_FOLDER
| |
| git checkout master
| |
| git pull
| |
| git push origin refs/remotes/upstream/master:master
| |
| </code>
| |
| | |
| 4. Run the./update_github script. Your local repository ("master" branch) and your github repository ("master" branch) will be updated from git.moodle.org.
| |
| | |
| 5. Now you can work on a new issue. You can use a Git UI tool like SmartGit for these steps:
| |
| * Run the update script (the script will switch to "master" branch, so take care to stash/commit the changes of your current branch)
| |
| * Create a new branch and switch to it. You should never work in your local master branch.
| |
| * Fix your issue with your favorite IDE.
| |
| * Commit, push and do a pull request.
| |
| | |
| == Working on 1.9 or earlier branches ==
| |
| This is just a tiny little bit more complicated that working on 2.0. Even though you could work in the same folder as for 2.0, you should create another folder for working on 1.9. It will make things less messy and easier to understand.
| |
| | |
| 1. In a terminal
| |
| <code bash>
| |
| git clone git@github.com:YOUR_GITHUB_USERNAME/moodle.git ./YOUR_LOCAL_MOODLE_19_FOLDER/
| |
| </code>
| |
| | |
| 2. Add the remote upstream. You want to update your local MOODLE_19_STABLE branch and your github (called "origin") MOODLE_19_STABLE branch from the official Moodle upstream.
| |
| <code bash>
| |
| cd ./YOUR_LOCAL_MOODLE_19_FOLDER/
| |
| git remote add upstream git://git.moodle.org/moodle.git
| |
| git fetch upstream
| |
| </code>
| |
| | |
| 3. Now you are going to create a local 1.9 branch. You will keep this branch updated (the branch will track upstream) and you are never going to work in it.
| |
| <code bash>
| |
| git checkout -b MOODLE_19_STABLE upstream/MOODLE_19_STABLE
| |
| </code>
| |
| | |
| 4. Create the update script in ./update_github
| |
| <code bash>
| |
| cd YOUR_LOCAL_MOODLE_19_FOLDER
| |
| git checkout MOODLE_19_STABLE
| |
| git pull
| |
| git push origin refs/remotes/upstream/MOODLE_19_STABLE:MOODLE_19_STABLE
| |
| </code>
| |
| | |
| 5. Run the script. Your github MOODLE_19_STABLE branch and your local MOODLE_19_STABLE branch are now updated.
| |
| | |
| 6. You can now work on an issue. You can use a Git UI tool like SmartGit for these steps:
| |
| * Run the update script (don't forget to stash/commit the change of your current local branch, you are going to switch to MOODLE_19_STABLE local branch)
| |
| * Create a new branch for your issue and switch to it
| |
| * Fix your issue with your favorite IDE
| |
| * Commit, push and do a pull request
| |
| | |
| == Troubleshooting == | |
| | |
| * If you want to delete a remote branch on github:
| |
| <code bash>
| |
| git push origin :CONFLICTING_REMOTE_BRANCH_NAME
| |
| </code>
| |
| * PHPStorm (beta version) named your 'origin' => 'master' when you cloned your github repository. It is better to rename it as 'origin'.
| |
| <code bash>
| |
| git remote rename master origin
| |
| </code>
| |
| * You've been working with Git in the early stages when Moodle HQ were experimenting with it. They now changed 'cvshead' to 'master' into upstream (moodle.org Git). You need to rename all your 'cvshead' github and local branches as 'master'. There what you should do (this is not a script to run, execute the command one at the time following the instructions):
| |
| <code bash>
| |
| #go to your root git folder
| |
| | |
| git fetch origin
| |
| git fetch upstream
| |
| git remote prune upstream
| |
| git remote prune origin
| |
| | |
| /// FIRST TIME YOU RUN THIS SCRIPT
| |
| git checkout -b master upstream/master
| |
| git push origin master
| |
| | |
| #on github, in your repository administration, change the default to 'master'
| |
| | |
| git push origin :cvshead
| |
| git branch -d cvshead
| |
| /// END OF FIRST TIME
| |
| | |
| git remote set-head origin -a
| |
| git remote set-head upstream -a
| |
|
| |
| /// OTHER TIME - FOR YOUR OTHER GIT MOODLE FOLDERS
| |
| git checkout -b master upstream/master
| |
| git branch -d cvshead | |
| /// END OF OTHER TIME | |
|
| |
| #check .git/config that there is no references to 'cvshead', if there are replace with 'master'
| |
|
| |
| #optional:
| |
| #update your update script ('cvshead' => 'master')
| |
| </code>
