How to upload a git repo to gerrit? - linux

I installed the gerrit service on a ubuntu server,and my PC as client.
I created a git repo on my PC(with msysgit),and the question is :how can I upload the git repo to the Ubuntu server?Should I do some work on Ubuntu server first(i just installed gerrit and git service )?

First, you need to create the project on the Gerrit server using gerrit create-project.
Next, edit the project permissions if necessary to add the following for your user (Administrators group, probably):
Create reference
Forge committer identity
Forge author identity
This allows you to upload an existing history, perhaps committed by different people, bypassing the need to review every commit you select.
Finally, push your code:
git remote add gerrit gerritserver:project
git push gerrit master:refs/heads/master

How to push changes from GitHub Desktop to Cpanel

Is it possible to directly push changes to a cpanel repository from GitHub desktop software. Or first the repository changes will be pushed to the online repository on github.com and then from there the cpanel will fetch the changes by clicking Update from Remote & Deploy HEAD Commit
One possibility would be to use a GitHub Action, that is a process able to run on GitHub side, triggered by a push.
For example, a deployment action, like one to publish to Netlify or zem
You would need to adapt such an action to push/publish to Cpanel, using an API key.
Clone the remote repository on your cPanel account to your local computer. git clone URL
Create the .cpanel.yml file.
Add the cPanel-managed repository as a remote. git remote add origin URL
Push changes to the cPanel-managed repository. git push -u origin HEAD

How to clone git repo from Windows to Linux?

I previously kept a bare git repository on a Linux server and a working copy in my local Windows laptop for development (syncing to the server using TortoiseGit over ssh). The server version was deleted/lost so I want to recreate the repo on the server using the latest commit from the local working copy on the Windows machine.
What is the best way to create this new remote bare repo copy on the remote Linux server from the Windows working copy?
You can re-create the linux server repo using
mkdir -p myrepo.git
cd myrepo.git
git init --bare
On the local copy, assuming the remote URL is the same, do
git push origin <branch refspec>
for example
git push origin master
Note: If the remote URL has changed you can use
git remote set-url origin <new-url>
Just create the repo on the server, then add the repo to your local one as remote if it is not the same location as before and push to it.
Follow these steps:
Create a bare repository on remote.
I guess the answer provided by ad22 is good enough for you:
mkdir -p myrepo.git
cd myrepo.git
git init --bare
Otherwise, you need to find out how to create a bare repository on server.
Copy or Memo the URL of that just created bare repository.
(Of cause, you need to have the right for accessing the URL.)
Add a new remote for your local repository.
Since you already have a local repository,
Right click in that repository, Click TortoiseGit -> Settings,
Give the remote a shortname and URL you copied
Add it and apply the setting.
See:
Push to remote by right clicking in local repository and click Push item.
In Push dialog,
Select the remote you just added.
Check the Push all branches checkbox if all branches can be public, otherwise you need push each branch one by one.
Check the Include Tags checkbox if you want to push all tags.
Suppose that's all. ^__^
On your Windows machine:
git clone --bare /path/to/local-working-copy-of-the-repo
The above command will create local-working-copy-of-the-repo.git folder.
Now copy the folder(bare repository) on to the Linux server.
Hope this helps.

How to connect local and remote Mercurial repos?

Typically, in Mercurial, I create a new project by:
Create a new remote repo
Clone the repo locally
Make changes to the local repo
Push those changes to the remote repo
The "remote repo" here is actually our "central/originating" DVCS server (http://ourhg.ourorg.example.com, etc.).
I am now in a situation where I had to use a code generation tool to produce the source code for a simple web app. So the source code exists before the remote repo exists on our hg server. I'm looking for the exact shell commands I need to execute to get this properly pushed to the remote repo.
I believe it should be something like this:
Use the code generator to generate the code, say, at /home/myuser/myapp.
Initialize an hg repo for myapp locally on my machine (hg init)
Add the generated source code for myapp to this local repo (hg add, then hg commit)
On ourhg.ourorg.example.com, create the new remote repo (manual steps)
???
Push the changes sitting in my local repo to the remote repo (hg push)
I know there is something missing in between Step #4 (creation of the remote repo) and Step #6 (pushing to the remote repo). There surely needs to be some "connection" step where my local repo and the remote repo realize they represent the same project/source code/etc. This is my hangup here, so I ask: what is Step #5?
what is Step #5?
Discover URL of this repo. Because it's empty repo, you can don't worry about "related|unrelated"
There's nothing you need to do to associate them. You can do hg push URL_OF_REMOTE on your local and it will work. If you don't want to have to provide the URL each time you can edit (creating if necessary) .hg/hgrc in the repo and set the default= value in the [paths] section. Something like this
[paths]
default=URL_OF_REMOTE
That's optional though.
Just use your origial steps, with caveat:
Create a new remote repo
Clone the repo locally (this will set default path of local to remote).
Make changes to the local repo (Use the code generator app to generate the code in the local repo).
Push those changes to the remote repo.
With this flow, you don't have to manually update the path to the remote repo.

Cannot find my project files on the server gitolite is running

I cannot find my project files on the server gitolite is running.
Basically, I built a git server using gitolite on a CentOS 6.2, and I created a new repository,I can successfully clone, pull, commit and push files to this new project, but when I logged in this server, trying to find my project files on it, I could not find them. the repository is in /home/mygituser/repositories/myproject.git/ , but none of my pushed files can be found any in there.
Is gitolite keeping the actual project contents somewhere else or is there a way to config and seperate project contents and its repository?
This is driving me crazy, any help will be highly appreciated.
Gitolite operates with bare repositories.
A bare repo has no working tree, meaning no files.
That is why, by the way, your repo root directory ends with .git: it is a naming convention to reference bare repos.
See "Git push only for bare repositories?" for more.
Your repos are managed by default on:
~git/repositories/myrepo1.git
~git/repositories/myrepo2.git
Generally, you don't need to look to the content of a repo while being on the server: you simply clone it on a client and look it there. (the clone won't be a bare repo by default)
You could clone it on the server, if you have a proper ~git/.ssh/id_rsa(.pub) key declared as a user in the gitolite.conf file.
It is what I do, as a test, after installing/updating gitolite on my server.
That works because of my local ssh config file:
Host gitolitesrv
Hostname localhost
User #USERNAME#
Port #PORT_SSHD#
IdentityFile #H#/.ssh/gitoliteadm
So I have a ~git/.ssh/gitolite(.pub) private and public key dedicated to gitolite admin, which I can use locally on the server to clone gitolite repo if I want.
That is because I use that same key to setup gitolite:
GITOLITE_HTTP_HOME= gitolite setup -pk "${H}/.ssh/gitoliteadm.pub"
If you have a similar setup, you can then clone any repo on the server:
git clone gitolitesrv:gitolite-admin "${gtl}/ga"

git server and client set up in linux

i am new to git and now i am trying to set up a git server and want to access the server from client.
referred many links but those are not helping me. i tried with the link http://davedevelopment.co.uk/2010/12/05/how-to-install-gitolite-on-ubuntu-10-10-maverick-meerkat.html. after the final step in the document i didn't know how to proceed.
can anyone give the details?
thanks in advance.
if you have cloned a repository on your client you are ready to start coding...
git commit
to commit changes locally, and
git push
to push your changes to the server.
What is missing on the above answers is how to push on the server a new repo.
Suppose that in the gitolite config file you have a repo named my_repo, you can add to the server an existing local repo this way:
cd my_repo
git remote add gitolite git#your.git.server:my_repo
git push gitolite master
You have to type ONLY ONCE the second line above. After that, you only have to push.
