[DNG] Git and git.devuan.org
Can someone please give me some quick examples of how to best "checkout" something from g...@git.devuan.org:USERNAME/someproject and then, after modification, submit the changes back? I've used CVS only a little bit but am even more unfamiliar with git. I suppose it would be two lines but after reviewing a lot of git tutorials I am still not sure which one to use to fetch the code and then how to find a working method to upload the changes. Thanks, Lars ___ Dng mailing list Dng@lists.dyne.org https://mailinglists.dyne.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dng
[DNG] We can't stop wars and diseases yet, but we got rid of systemd
There seems to now be a Swiss hosting provider specializing in Devuan hosting: "We can't stop wars and diseases yet, but we got rid of systemd." ... "thanks to the developers of Devuan." https://devuanhosting.com/en-us/cms/ It is one of their featured selling points. /Lars ___ Dng mailing list Dng@lists.dyne.org https://mailinglists.dyne.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dng

Thanks, Lars Quick answer: Configure your .git/config file. In my case: [core] repositoryformatversion = 0 filemode = true bare = false logallrefupdates = true [remote "origin"] url = https://git.devuan.org/aitor_czr/simple-netaid-gtk.git fetch = +refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/origin/* [branch "master"] remote = origin merge = refs/heads/master Commit your changes: $ git add . $ git commit --all And then, push the branch to the remote repository: $ git push -u origin master I'll write about this topic in more detail.

This fact alone can triple the value of a VM. By the way, I'm pretty sure that besides being systemd free, their services are run by electricity produced by rivers or waterfalls. No coal, no uranium.

Dear Lars, if the repository belongs to you (i.e., is USERNAME is your nickname), then you should: git clone GITURL then make your changes, commit, and push (this should be covered by the tutorials you have read). If the repository belongs to someone else, then the best way is to "fork" the repo from the gitlab interface (there is a "fork" button jst under the project name in the gitlab page). This will create a "copy" of the repo under your account. From there, you do the clone, changes, commit, and push as usual. Then, in order to ask the owner of the original repo to include your changes, you should open a Pull Request. That will generate a diff and notify the owner of the repo, who should check it and "merge" it in the repo.

I get this message when trying to commit: no changes added to commit That seems to cause the push to say the following after entering the user name and password: Everything up-to-date And then no new notifications or changed files are present on the project git web page. Same if I try a 'git pull' in my cloned copy of the project. It just says: Already up-to-date. However, since one file has been changed it should be in conflict with the original copy of the project on git.devuan.org There seems to be some finesse missing. /Lars ___ Dng mailing list Dng@lists.dyne.org https://mailinglists.dyne.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dng

Hi Lars, I'm almost totally unexperienced with git, but what is missing, I think, is to "stage" the changed files with, IIRC, "git add somefiles.." That's a git concept. I read the first three chapters of an excellent and easy to read introduction into git where I learned that, which you can get for free at this website: https://git-scm.com/book/en/v2 Just in case you are interested.

The staging was the part I missed. It wasn't clear from the "git-commit" manual page at all that "git-add" is not about adding new files but queuing existing but modified files for upload. The -a with "commit" can skip that. git clone GITURL vi README.md git commit -a git push Thanks.

That is why you later need to make a *pull* request to the project developer/s to get them to fetch your code into their project and see what they think of it. Antony. -- Success is a lousy teacher.
