gitlab wrong user permissions - gitlab

I have installed gitlab 6.4.3 and everything went well. But there is just one weird problem!
Users that are developer, can create merge requests and ALSO ACCEPT THEM !!! I read in gitlab help that a developer can just create new merge requests.
Also the project is private and the users are added by admin as developers.
And there is my gitlab information :
System information
System: Ubuntu 12.04
Current User: git
Using RVM: no

GitLab Shell
Version: 1.8.0
Repositories: /home/git/repositories/
Hooks: /home/git/gitlab-shell/hooks/

Do you have any idea what is going on here? and is there anyway to fix this?

There is no permission for accepting merge request... yet: issue 4763 is about that.
The app/views/projects/merge_requests/show/_mr_accept.html.haml file refers to:
- unless #allowed_to_merge
.bs-callout
%strong You don't have permission to merge this MR
And allowed_to_merge is defined by the function in app/controllers/projects/merge_requests_controller.rb:
def allowed_to_merge?
action = if project.protected_branch?(#merge_request.target_branch)
:push_code_to_protected_branches
else
:push_code
end
can?(current_user, action, #project)
end
So the only control for now is based on whether or not you can push to the target branch of the merge request.
Nothing more.

Gitlab: How to trigger a script when a file is changed?

I have a repository in Gitlab and what I wish to have is a setup in which when a specific file in a specific branch is changed, I want a script/job to be triggered, which will read and make operations based on this new version of the changed file.
That script can be in another machine and be accessed through SSH, or it can be inside the same repository and be executed somehow.
Is there any way to do this with Gitlab CI/CD?
Edit: I'm using GitLab Enterprise Edition 11.2.3-ee aadca99
You can use only/except changes to do this.
It has been introduced in Gitlab 11.4 and it works with files and directories within your repository, example :
docker build:
script: docker build -t my-image:$CI_COMMIT_REF_SLUG .
only:
changes:
- Dockerfile
- docker/scripts/*
- dockerfiles/**/*
- more_scripts/*.{rb,py,sh}

Github API generated annotated tag not showing up in git describe

I am trying to write a script to automatically setup github releases using a custom CI trigger. I have a python script that uses pygithub to automatically create a tag and a release.
# roughly the following code:
repo.create_git_tag(...)
repo.create_git_ref(...)
repo.create_git_release(...)
After running the script, everything shows up in the GitHub web UI, after a git fetch origin && git tag -l, I can see the tags locally. But when I use git describe (even with --tags), it fails with fatal: No tags can describe '<head_commit_hash>'
Using git show-ref --tags, I get something like the following:
hash1 refs/tags/releases/1.0.0
hash2 refs/tags/releases/1.1.0
hash3 refs/tags/releases/1.1.1
Then git cat-file -p hash1 gives me:
object hash_of_commit_at_tag
type commit
tag releases/1.0.0
tagger ...
Release: 1.0.0
But if I create and push the tag myself using git tag -a releases/1.0.0 hash_of_commit -m "Release 1.0.0", the git describe gives me the last reachable tag from my current HEAD.
Question is, is GitHub api or pygithub doing anything special? Or am I missing an api call in pygithub?
Apparently the GitHub API is creating un-annotated tags when you make a release.
The solution that works for me is to use git describe --tags
THis is from my repo with two tags created by making a release in the GitHub API
❯ git tag -l
v1.1.0
v1.2.0
❯ git describe
fatal: No annotated tags can describe '912268bd176bbda06983995894b46cf764b3e666'.
However, there were unannotated tags: try --tags.
❯ git describe --tags
v1.2.0

How to refer to different kind of resources in pub?

In pubspec.yaml, we can refer to an dependency resource by specify the version. But how to refer to other kind of resources?
e.g.
a git repository
a local directory
a local .zip file
a local .tar.gz file
a http url
a svn repository
I can't find documents for them.

To add on to the other answers, referring to a http url (#5) is possible so long as the server is a pub package server:

You can run your own pub server by using the open-sourced pub code. You can also find more information on the Google Group dicussion.

GIT: Can't Push (Strange Config Issue)

I'm on a fresh install of Linux Mint.
I'm getting the following error when trying to push from any repository:
error: Malformed value for push.default: simple
error: Must be one of nothing, matching, tracking or current.
fatal: bad config file line 8 in /home/leng/.gitconfig
fatal: Could not read from remote repository.
This is very odd, because I definitely have a version that supports the simple push behavior.
The output of git --version is git version 1.8.3.2.
The contents of ~/.gitconfig:
[user]
name = My Name
email = MyEmail#website.com
[color]
ui = true
[push]
default = simple
Here's where it gets creepy.
If I change the behavior to matching (or to nothing, tracking, or current, for that matter), then attempt to push, I get the same exact error message. How is that possible? Is it caching the config somehow? I've even tried rebooting. I've even tried purging GIT completely from the system (and deleting ~/.gitconfig) then reinstalling it.
If I delete the [push] section completely from the .gitconfig file (or if I delete the file entirely), then try to push, then I get this:
Git 2.0 from 'matching' to 'simple'. To squelch this message
and maintain the current behavior after the default changes, use:
git config --global push.default matching
To squelch this message and adopt the new behavior now, use:
git config --global push.default simple
See 'git help config' and search for 'push.default' for further information.
(the 'simple' mode was introduced in Git 1.7.11. Use the similar mode
'current' instead of 'simple' if you sometimes use older versions of Git)
error: Malformed value for push.default: simple
error: Must be one of nothing, matching, tracking or current.
fatal: bad config file line 8 in /home/leng/.gitconfig
fatal: Could not read from remote repository.
...so it appears to be both acknowledging that I haven't chosen a pushing behavior, but then also saying that I've chosen an unsupported behavior. What on earth is going on here?
I even get the error if I delete ~/.gitconfig completely.
Can anyone help me out with this witchcraft?
Thanks!
EDIT:
Here is a .git/config file requested:
[core]
repositoryformatversion = 0
filemode = true
bare = false
logallrefupdates = true
[remote "origin"]
url = ssh://{my remote repo}
fetch = +refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/origin/*
[branch "master"]
remote = origin
merge = refs/heads/master
Okay, so I fixed it, but the method is absolute witchcraft.
I tried to isolate the problem by purging GIT, deleting the config file, reinstalling GIT, then creating a local bare repository, then cloning it, then attempting to push from there. Pretty much like this:
sudo apt-get purge git-core
rm -f ~/.gitconfig
sudo apt-get install git-core
cd /git
mkdir foo
cd foo
git init --bare
cd /var/www
git clone /git/foo
cd foo
touch blah.txt
git add -A
git config --global user.name "Name"
git config --global user.email "user#email.com"
git commit -m "Blah"
git push
...same exact error message, no change there. (Still some serious witchcraft.)
Then, I deleted one of my repositories that doesn't have a local origin (it connects to its origin via SSH) and cloned the repository anew after deleting it (with a fresh git clone ssh://... command).
I got an error from the clone command:
remote: Malformed value for push.default: simple
remote: Must be one of nothing, matching, tracking or current.
Ah ha! Now it says remote instead of error. So the remote doesn't support this behavior. (That doesn't explain why the error persists on local-only repositories with local origins, then, though.)
So I then SSH'ed into the remote server and updated the git-core there to the latest version, re-attempted to clone the repository from my local machine, and it worked.
Now, I can finally git push. Insanely, this also fixed it so I can git push from the entirely local /var/www/foo to the also entirely local /git/foo (the local origin bare repository). SSH'ing into this remote server and updating it somehow - WITCHCRAFT - fixed my local machine's error.
Why on earth the entirely local repos care about an entirely different machine's GIT version is... beyond me. How utterly, utterly insane.
I had the same error message on git push.
For me it turned out that the remote user's git was an older version (1.7.2.5),
and I had recently updated the remote ~/.gitconfig to include:
[push]
default = simple
The solution was to remove this setting from the remote's configuration.
Since it seems other people are having this issue, and I found a solution HERE, I thought I'd post the solution that worked for me.
IN SHORT:
The solution I found was at this page. Evidently the best solution is to upgrade to a newer version of Git (if possible). That was not an option for me, however. From a local machine, I typed the following command:
git config -–global push.default upstream
This got rid of the Malformed value for push.default: simple error I had been getting. I'm not entirely sure what upstream does, however.
MY CONTEXT (for comparison): I had an empty (bare) repository on a remote computer, and I had a few repositories on a couple "local" workstations. I pull from the remote repository, do some work, and then push my work to the remote repository. Pushing/pulling was accomplished via SSH. Most of the time, while working on a local machine, pushing/pulling would result in the error described above.
In short, before the fix, I had the following ~/.gitconfig file on the remote machine:
[user]
name = Foo Bar
email = FooBarPerson#email.com
[diff]
external = /Users/foobar/bin/git-diff-cmd.sh
[color]
diff = auto
status = auto
branch = auto
[push]
default = simple
After entering in the above command, my ~/.gitconfig file on the remote machine changed to:
[user]
name = Foo Bar
email = FooBarPerson#email.com
[diff]
external = /Users/foobar/bin/git-diff-cmd.sh
[color]
diff = auto
status = auto
branch = auto
[push]
default = upstream
Version information:
Remote machine (repository location): 1.9.4
My laptop: 1.8.5.2 (Apple Git-48)
Other computer I work on: 1.7.7.4

How to publish a website made by Node.js to Github Pages?

I made a website using Node.js as the server. As I know, the node.js file should start working by typing commands in terminal, so I'm not sure if Github Pages supports node.js-hosting. So what should I do?
GitHub pages host only static HTML pages. No server side technology is supported, so Node.js applications won't run on GitHub pages. There are lots of hosting providers, as listed on the Node.js wiki.
App fog seems to be the most economical as it provides free hosting for projects with 2GB of RAM (which is pretty good if you ask me).
As stated here, AppFog removed their free plan for new users.
If you want to host static pages on GitHub, then read this guide. If you plan on using Jekyll, then this guide will be very helpful.
We, the Javascript lovers, don't have to use Ruby (Jekyll or Octopress) to generate static pages in Github pages, we can use Node.js and Harp, for example:
These are the steps. Abstract:
Create a New Repository
Clone the Repository
git clone https://github.com/your-github-user-name/your-github-user-name.github.io.git
Initialize a Harp app (locally):
harp init _harp
make sure to name the folder with an underscore at the beginning; when you deploy to GitHub Pages, you don’t want your source files to be served.
Compile your Harp app
harp compile _harp ./
Deploy to Gihub
git add -A
git commit -a -m "First Harp + Pages commit"
git push origin master
And this is a cool tutorial with details about nice stuff like layouts, partials, Jade and Less.
I was able to set up github actions to automatically commit the results of a node build command (yarn build in my case but it should work with npm too) to the gh-pages branch whenever a new commit is pushed to master.
While not completely ideal as i'd like to avoid committing the built files, it seems like this is currently the only way to publish to github pages and should work for any frontend Node.js app (or app built with a frontend framework like React or Vue) that can be served as static files.
I based my workflow off of this guide for a different react library, and had to make the following changes to get it to work for me:
updated the "setup node" step to use the version found here since the one from the sample i was basing it off of was throwing errors because it could not find the correct action.
remove the line containing yarn export because that command does not exist and it doesn't seem to add anything helpful (you may also want to change the build line above it to suit your needs)
I also added an env directive to the yarn build step so that I can include the SHA hash of the commit that generated the build inside my app, but this is optional
Here is my full github action:
name: github pages
on:
push:
branches:
- master
jobs:
deploy:
runs-on: ubuntu-18.04
steps:
- uses: actions/checkout#v2
- name: Setup Node

with:
node-version: '12'
- name: Get yarn cache
id: yarn-cache
run: echo "::set-output name=dir::$(yarn cache dir)"
- name: Cache dependencies
uses: actions/cache#v2
with:
path: ${{ steps.yarn-cache.outputs.dir }}
key: ${{ runner.os }}-yarn-${{ hashFiles('**/yarn.lock') }}
restore-keys: |
${{ runner.os }}-yarn-
- run: yarn install --frozen-lockfile
- run: yarn build
env:
REACT_APP_GIT_SHA: ${{ github.SHA }}
- name: Deploy
uses: peaceiris/actions-gh-pages#v3
with:
github_token: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}
publish_dir: ./build
Alternative solution
The docs for next.js also provides instructions for setting up with Vercel which appears to be a hosting service for node.js apps similar to github pages. I have not tried this though and so cannot speak to how well it works.
No, You cannot publish on Github pages. Try Heroku or something like that. You can only deploy static sites on github pages. You can't deploy a server on github pages.
No,
GitHub allows hosting only static websites(having only HTML, CSS, javascript).
Dynamic websites(having databases, servers, and all) can't be hosted as a Github page.
And node.js app is a server-based website, we can't host it on Github.
You can try Heroku, Openshift to host your website.
ahm. Yep, as most answer says. Github Pages only process html and css and a front-end JS.
But you can use JS framework like Gatsby which is mainly known to generate static purely static files, it gathers the data on compilation.
Then use that generated folder as the directory of the site.
I would like to add that it IS very much possible, as I am doing it right now. Here's how I'm doing it:
(I'm going to assume you have a package and/or directory ready to publish.)
In the root of your package.json, add
"homepage": "https://{pages-endpoint}/{repo}",
Where the pages-endpoint is the blah.github.io endpoint you specified in the Settings -> Pages portion of your repository, and repo is the name of your repository.
Then make sure you npm install --global gh-pages --save-dev. You need the --global to ensure the bin file is on your PATH and --save-dev should add it as a dependency in your package.json
After that, just npm run build && gh-pages -d build. The -d specifies your output build directory. The standard is build, but mine was public. If it's different, just change it.
Lastly, make sure in the Settings -> Pages section, you select gh-pages as the branch to host and leave the directory as / (root). Once it's built, your site should be available at your github.io endpoint.
Happy Dev-ing!
It's very simple steps to push your node js application from local to GitHub.
Steps:
First create a new repository on GitHub
Open Git CMD installed to your system (Install GitHub Desktop)
Clone the repository to your system with the command: git clone repo-url
Now copy all your application files to this cloned library if it's not there
Get everything ready to commit: git add -A
Commit the tracked changes and prepares them to be pushed to a remote repository: git commit -a -m "First Commit"
Push the changes in your local repository to GitHub: git push origin master
