Re: Project structure with git and Jenkins
It does sound like a use case for my employer's (CloudBees) proprietary validated merge plugin...

Re: Project structure with git and Jenkins
Given that condition (developer computers are too slow for reasonable compilation), I don't have any suggestion that I would consider very helpful. You could try having them commit to git on their local computer using feature branches, then push the feature branch to a central repository for compilation by Jenkins. It seems like a real problem that you're making developers round trip through a central server before they can decide if their code computer.

Re: Project structure with git and Jenkins
Thank you Mark. Actually, we are facing compilation time issue on local servers as we are using GWT. To solve it, we set a central server with very good configuration. So, developers can use that server for compilation. Now, the idea is that developers have code on some shared drive, they implement the code, and to compile they use jenkins, which is on central server. Thanks, Ritesh Patel.

Re: Project structure with git and Jenkins
Can you explain further what you hope to gain by using a shared drive for development? Git works best with local drives. It is a fast version control system in large measure because the vast majority of its operations work on the local file system. If you make git operate on a shared file system, you've now inserted a slowdown (network access) into all the operations performed by developers, all day long. That seems like a serious penalty for the most active portion of a developer's working day. Git users have the notion of a "feature branch" which allows a developer to submit something to be evaluated by Jenkins, without making that change available on the authoritative branch. You could investigate a feature branch based workflow, and use Jenkins to automate the merge from feature branches to the authoritative branch. Alternately, you could consider using Gerrit, which provides a code read facility and related workflow as a layer over a git repository.

Project structure with git and Jenkins
Hi All, Right now, in our project, developers develop code on shared drive, compile on common server, but deploy on local PC. But, we want continuous integration in future with git and Jenkins. Our main requirement is that developers should not have anything on their PC, they develop on shared drive, once they save, they can ask Jenkins to compile and deploy automatically. But, this should happen without commit to main branch. How we can achieve this? Thanks in advance.
