<h1>Code Repository</h1>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
Mesa uses <a href="http://git-scm.com">git</a>
|
|
as its source code management system.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
The master git repository is hosted on
|
|
<a href="http://www.freedesktop.org">freedesktop.org</a>.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
You may access the repository either as an
|
|
<a href="#anonymous">anonymous user</a> (read-only) or as a
|
|
<a href="#developer">developer</a>
|
|
(read/write).
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
You may also
|
|
<a href="http://cgit.freedesktop.org/mesa/mesa/"
|
|
>browse the main Mesa git repository</a> and the
|
|
<a href="http://cgit.freedesktop.org/mesa/demos"
|
|
>Mesa demos and tests git repository</a>.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<h2 id="anonymous">Anonymous git Access</h2>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
To get the Mesa sources anonymously (read-only):
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<ol>
|
|
<li>Install the git software on your computer if needed.<br><br>
|
|
<li>Get an initial, local copy of the repository with:
|
|
<pre>
|
|
git clone git://anongit.freedesktop.org/git/mesa/mesa
|
|
</pre>
|
|
<li>Later, you can update your tree from the master repository with:
|
|
<pre>
|
|
git pull origin
|
|
</pre>
|
|
<li>If you also want the Mesa demos/tests repository:
|
|
<pre>
|
|
git clone git://anongit.freedesktop.org/git/mesa/demos
|
|
</pre>
|
|
</ol>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<h2 id="developer">Developer git Access</h2>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
Mesa developers need to first have an account on
|
|
<a href="http://www.freedesktop.org">freedesktop.org</a>.
|
|
To get an account, please ask Brian or the other Mesa developers for
|
|
permission.
|
|
Then, if there are no objections, follow this
|
|
<a href="http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/AccountRequests">
|
|
procedure</a>.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
Once your account is established:
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<ol>
|
|
<li>Install the git software on your computer if needed.<br><br>
|
|
<li>Get an initial, local copy of the repository with:
|
|
<pre>
|
|
git clone git+ssh://username@git.freedesktop.org/git/mesa/mesa
|
|
</pre>
|
|
Replace <em>username</em> with your actual login name.<br><br>
|
|
<li>Later, you can update your tree from the master repository with:
|
|
<pre>
|
|
git pull origin
|
|
</pre>
|
|
<li>If you also want the Mesa demos/tests repository:
|
|
<pre>
|
|
git clone git+ssh://username@git.freedesktop.org/git/mesa/demos
|
|
</pre>
|
|
</ol>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<h2>Windows Users</h2>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
If you're <a href="http://git.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/WindowsInstall">
|
|
using git on Windows</a> you'll want to enable automatic CR/LF conversion in
|
|
your local copy of the repository:
|
|
</p>
|
|
<pre>
|
|
git config --global core.autocrlf true
|
|
</pre>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
This will cause git to convert all text files to CR+LF on checkout,
|
|
and to LF on commit.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Unix users don't need to set this option.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<br>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<h2>Development Branches</h2>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
At any given time, there may be several active branches in Mesa's
|
|
repository.
|
|
Generally, the trunk contains the latest development (unstable)
|
|
code while a branch has the latest stable code.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
The command <code>git-branch</code> will list all available branches.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
Questions about branch status/activity should be posted to the
|
|
mesa3d-dev mailing list.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<h2>Developer Git Tips</h2>
|
|
|
|
<ol>
|
|
<li>Setting up to edit the master branch
|
|
<p>
|
|
If you try to do a pull by just saying<code> git pull </code>
|
|
and git complains that you have not specified a
|
|
branch, try:
|
|
<pre>
|
|
git config branch.master.remote origin
|
|
git config branch.master.merge master
|
|
</pre>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Otherwise, you have to say<code> git pull origin master </code>
|
|
each time you do a pull.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<li>Small changes to master
|
|
<p>
|
|
If you are an experienced git user working on substancial modifications,
|
|
you are probably
|
|
working on a separate branch and would rebase your branch prior to
|
|
merging with master.
|
|
But for small changes to the master branch itself,
|
|
you also need to use the rebase feature in order to avoid an
|
|
unnecessary and distracting branch in master.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
If it has been awhile since you've done the initial clone, try
|
|
<pre>
|
|
git pull
|
|
</pre>
|
|
<p>
|
|
to get the latest files before you start working.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Make your changes and use
|
|
<pre>
|
|
git add <files to commit>
|
|
git commit
|
|
</pre>
|
|
<p>
|
|
to get your changes ready to push back into the fd.o repository.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
It is possible (and likely) that someone has changed master since
|
|
you did your last pull. Even if your changes do not conflict with
|
|
their changes, git will make a fast-forward
|
|
merge branch, branching from the point in time
|
|
where you did your last pull and merging it to a point after the other changes.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
To avoid this,
|
|
<pre>
|
|
git pull --rebase
|
|
git push
|
|
</pre>
|
|
<p>
|
|
If you are familiar with CVS or similar system, this is similar to doing a
|
|
<code> cvs update </code> in order to update your source tree to
|
|
the current repository state, instead of the time you did the last update.
|
|
(CVS doesn't work like git in this respect, but this is easiest way
|
|
to explain it.)
|
|
<br>
|
|
In any case, your repository now looks like you made your changes after
|
|
all the other changes.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
If the rebase resulted in conflicts or changes that could affect
|
|
the proper operation of your changes, you'll need to investigate
|
|
those before doing the push.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
If you want the rebase action to be the default action, then
|
|
<pre>
|
|
git config branch.master.rebase true
|
|
git config --global branch.autosetuprebase=always
|
|
</pre>
|
|
<p>
|
|
See <a href="http://www.eecs.harvard.edu/~cduan/technical/git/">Understanding Git Conceptually</a> for a fairly clear explanation about all of this.
