i'm trying to setup puppet with r10k to dynamically deploy environments from a git repo hosted in Bitbucket.
The problem I'm having is that for each environment r10k configures git with the default branch set in Bitbucket rather with the actual branch.
Has anyone seen this behaviour before ?

I have made changes to some css and js file in my Node-React apllication which is deployed on Heroku. But the changes are not showing up when I git add . the project on heroku. ALthough the changes are not coming up when I run the project locally.
Any help would be appreciated on what could be the possible cause on the changes not getting deployed?
You need a few more commands in your deployment workflow.
The git add . command is putting your local changes into staging.
You also need to run git commit -m 'your commit message' in order to commit those local changes to your local git repository.
Next, you need to run git push to push your local repository to the remote repository it is linked with.
Effective use of git is one of the most useful things you can teach yourself as a developer. It will enable you to contribute effectively to a team when the time comes. Here's a good starter article: Basic Git With Examples.
I want to publish my Gitlab project's(not a maven project) artifact to JFrog Artifactory. The artifact size is 4.2 GB.
I searched for this but mostly got links to publish Gitlab Maven project to Artifactory. My project is not a maven project.
I have a requirement to keep all source code in Gitlab and artifacts(.war, .tar.gz) in Artifactory.
How do I achieve this?
It sounds like you're looking for Git LFS. This is an extention to Git that allows your Gitlab repository to track artifacts without actually storing them in the repository, instead using some external filestore or artifact management server.
Artifactory supports Git LFS repositories, and you can find the documentation for setting it up here.
I am new to Heroku. Recently I created a NodeJS application with the Heroku git and deployed it on Heroku. I used the following command to clone the repository to my local computer from the Heroku git.
heroku git:clone -a {app_name}
How would I be able to browse the repository on the Heroku git rather than locally, like GitHub?
In your heroku account, go to your app -> Settings.
Under App Information, you'll find the heroku git url.

You don't.
Heroku is a platform as a service hosting provider, not a repository host. You can clone from it, but that's not what it's designed to do:
Heroku provides the git service primarily for deployment, and the ability to clone from it is offered as a convenience. We strongly recommend you store your code in another git repository such as GitHub and treat that as canonical.
It doesn't provide a web interface to its Git repositories.
I've created GitLab project by cloning remote repository. During a few days my colleagues pushed their commits to the original repository (not GitLab). Now I did 'git fetch --all' from GitLab repository but commits do not show in GitLab web UI. What should I do to resync GitLab project with its repository? Is there rake task for that? I can't simply recreate the project as we already imported issues from an external source, created labels, milestones, etc.
There is no GitLab feature to fetch the upstream updates. What you did was import an already existing repository, and that is a one time feature.
But you can fetch the upstream updates into your local repository, then push them to GitLab. You'll need to add the orginial/upstream repo as a remote to your local repository by running git remote add upstream {path to original repo}, then fetch the upstream repos by running git fetch upstream, then merge git merge upstream/master, then git push master origin.
GitHub has a decent help section on adding the upstream remote, and doing the merge.
Only the EE version of GitLab has the repository mirroring feature which supports automatically pulling down updates from the import source repository.
If you are using the free CE version, you'll have to manually update or create a custom process.
I installed GithubHQ in one server and GitlabCI in another server. But now I need do integration between GitlabHQ and GitlabCI. When I go to add a new project in GitlabCI he requests a path .git project, but the project is on another server where the GitlabHQ.
I tried use the path remote, like: http://[domain-name]/[user]/[project].git but he not accept.
I researched about how GitlabCI search the path and found that it does not support remote paths. He use "Rugged::Repository.new(path)" just to get the project on the server.
Does anyone know a way to use paths .git remotes in GitlabCI?
As illustrated by Issue 36:
Actually the purpose of gitlab-ci implies that you install it on deployment point. You install it where you deploy your project
So you are supposed to use a local non-bare repo.
You could, in your case, clone your remote repo on the gitlab-ci server, and use that local path.
In order to build an integration between gitlab and gitlab-ci:
add gitlab_ci user to git group for read access
clone your project via git clone /home/git/repositories to somewhere like /home/gitlab_ci/projects/...
add this project to ci.
setup gitlabhq to use ci service
Thats all.
On gitlab push it will trigger gitlab ci to make git fetch origin, so testing repo will be always up to date.
