Does gitlab has its own windows client or does it support any other compatible windows client ? if so, could you please help with the same.
Thnks in advance for any help.
I use msys2.org and it works like a charm with GitHub, GitLab and BitBucket.
When you run the msys2 console for the first time, issue:
pacman -Syu git
This will update the system and install a fresh copy of git.
pacman is a powerful package manager and you may discover more potentially interesting packages with:
pacman -Ss <search string>
Note that git is a standard for source control (like SVN). In so far as a service claims it is git based, it must work with a git client. However, companies hosting the git server usually offer other services too: release repositories, continuous integration/delivery, wiki pages etc. These are not part of the git standard and therefore might require additional client software.

I've been deploying VMs with kickstart files and OSes like CentOS7 and Oracle Linux 7 in Spacewalk, I even update the VM with a yum update in the post installation kickstart script, which is amazingly cool. After installation though, it doesn't really keep up to date with the latest version of the operating system, I'd have to download and upload the .ISO to Spacewalk every time an update comes around or do a yum update on the VM itself. Then I found out you can link and schedule an OS repository. I already have a setup of this kind for CentOS7 in Spacewalk.
This works for me:
CentOS7 repository for spacewalk channel example
The link to the CentOS7 repo
However, I haven't found any public repos for OL7. Does this kind of repo simply not exist for Oracle Linux 7?
Also, is there perhaps a better solution to this problem? I'm planning on using Puppet with this setup for the software aspect.
Thanks in advance.

2.3 Downloading the Oracle Linux Yum Server Repository Files
Note
The following procedure assumes that yum on your system is configured to expect to find repository files in the default /etc/yum.repos.d directory.
To download the Oracle Linux Yum Server repository configuration file:
As root, change directory to /etc/yum.repos.d.
cd /etc/yum.repos.d
Use the wget utility to download the repository configuration file that is appropriate for your system.
wget http://yum.oracle.com/public-yum-release.repo
For Oracle Linux 7, enter:
wget http://yum.oracle.com/public-yum-ol7.repo
The /etc/yum.repos.d directory is updated with the repository configuration file, in this example, public-yum-ol7.repo.
You can enable or disable repositories in the file by setting the value of the enabled directive to 1 or 0 as required.
Oracle provides publicly accessible yum repos at yum.oracle.com. They even have their own build of Spacewalk available to customers.
Further, I added ULN support to Spacewalk a while ago, so you can configure it to sync content from ULN if you're a customer. See the Oracle Spacewalk Client Life Cycle Guide for more info: https://docs.oracle.com/cd/E52668_01/E71078/html/swk24-crreposwc.html
Alright REW and Djelibeybi both gave me good answers, instead of using the repo file though I opten to fully use Spacewalk and use the links in the repo file to update the channel. In hindsight I can't believe I didn't come up with this sooner because I knew of the yum public file.
The link to repo file was wrong,
I instead should have just used the links in the repo file to create multiple Spacewalk Channel repositories.
Thank you all, I'm very happy with this solution.
I'm trying since two days to set up a private Git and link it with my Eclipse IDE.
First of all, I have a Raspberry running Rasbian as a server. SSH is working with SSH keys.
I created a new user to store my Git projects on. Git is installed too.
My dev computer is running Windows 10 and Eclipse Neon.1 with the Git plugin installed on. I have MSysGit installed too.
And here I can't link anything to make it working well together.
First, I didn't find how can I tell to EGit to use a SSH key. So I wanted to use the Git GUi provided by MSysGit but I don't know how to link it with my server.
I'm not here to ask you to setting up for me or even tell me how to do it step by step, I'm just looking for a detailled tutorial or video which can helps me with it. Most of tutorial I rode use Linux as dev OS, or link Eclipse directly on GitHub so I didn't find a situation like mine.
First you need git setting done in eclipse that provide GUI for git commands.
Then to link local server, add you local git server URL to your project remote URL. and it should be able to pull & push commit to your server.
This tutorial should be enough for all you need.

I am trying to come up with a deployment strategy in developer environments using Ansible.
I have a few builds (node.js) coming out every day usually in the form of debian packages.
Eg: my_product_1.0.0_33.deb is the corresponding debian for build#33.
I am trying to automate the deployment on existing as well as new environments using Ansible. So what is the preferred way of updating the build packages using Ansible?
Eg: my_product_1.0.0_44.deb is my new build with build id #44 which I want to install on top of the existing build.
I am going through the Ansible documentation and below mentioned is the way I think will work for now.
Check if any package of "my_product" is installed and if not installed, install the latest debian.
If yes, check if the right build id of my_product is installed
If yes, don't restart the service and leave as is
If no, uninstall the existing package, install the new build debian and restart the service.
Is this the preferred approach of updating the debian packages in an environment or is there a better way to do this in Ansible?
The debian packages I receive are not hosted in any repository and are local .deb files.
Is this the preferred approach of updating the debian packages in an
environment or is there a better way to do this in Ansible?
This is a reasonably common approach. It could be simplified a bit by hosting your debs on an internal repo, but that's not necessary.
In general, you don't need to do things like "check if a package is installed and if not, install the latest version". You just specify the package name to the apt module and it handles the conditional logic for you.
For restarting the service if a new version has been deployed, look into handlers.
I am trying to migrate to git and would like to stay inside my familiar IDE (Eclipse), and apparently Egit is the plugin to use.
A few questions:
Does Egit require git? Meaning, do I need to first install git on my machine, prior to installing the Egit plugin?; and
If the answer to #1 above is "yes", and I do need to first install git, then after I install git, are there any system-level configurations, or git commands (to be ran from the shell) that I need to perform before I install Egit? Note I do plan on using a private repo on GitHub which I believe uses SSL keys...if that changes the answer to this question at all...
Also I'm on Ubuntu Desktop 12.04 - just fyi in case there are linux-specific settings, etc.
Thanks in advance!
No, EGit does not require Git as it is based JGit, which is a pure Java implementation of Git.
My host is Bluehost. My server is on Linux.
I have tried to follow the tutorial.
You can quite easily compile it from source, with the usual ./configure && make && sudo make install commands.
See "How to install git". Specifically the Mac OS X section (which applies to Linux also)
If the machine doesn't have apt-get, then chances are it isn't a Debian or Ubuntu machine, which means that using a tutorial designed for Debian or Ubuntu is unlikely to get you very far.
Either use the packaged releases for whatever Linux distribution you are running, or build from source.
Get the source from http://git.or.cz/
Maybe you have the same problem I have that I cannot have an outgoing connection but I can have an incoming connection, that´s why I cannot use apt-get. What I do to move files is just use WinSCP and move the files there and after do whatever I want with them.
