Hi Christian, I am trying to configure a repository on our RB test server, and am having trouble filling these fields below,
When I am under--- *admin ---> repositories,* *path:* (*It says)* For git, this should be the path to the .git repository on the local disk. But the repo is not on the local disk, but on a central repository. Can I have the unix path to our central server on ubuntu ? (Since I am going to use cgit, I assume I don't have to clone the central repository to my local ?) *mirror path:* <Blank> ? *Raw file URL Mask:* for example: The upper-level directory url with all paths to the .gits is: http://mobcom-git.sj.broadcom.com/cgi-bin/cgit.cgi/git_repos (say under here I need to set to this repo: git_repos/repo_tools/scripts.git<http://mobcom-git.sj.broadcom.com/cgi-bin/cgit.cgi/git_repos/repo_tools/scripts.git/> ) How will I get the <filename> (can be a lot of file in this repo) & <revision>, as suggested on your website for this field. <http://mobcom-git.sj.broadcom.com/cgi-bin/cgit.cgi/git_repos/repo_tools/scripts.git/> Thanks for the help !
