Git

OpenEmbedded Git repository

Git repository that currently mirrors the main Monotone repository (test installation).

See GitPhraseBook

Web interfaces:

• http://git.openembedded.net/
• http://cgit.openembedded.net/
• http://gitweb.openembedded.net/

To use the git repository:

• Anonymous clone. By default, a clone now checks out the org.openembedded.dev branch.

 git clone git://git.openembedded.net/org.openembedded.dev

• checkout a different branch:

 git checkout --track -b <branch> origin

• see other branches that are available:

 git branch -r

• Update your branch

 git pull

and if your key is registered, push/pull from:

ssh://gittrial@git.openembedded.net/org.openembedded.dev

To add a branch mirroring the openmoko tree, do the following:

• git remote add openmoko.org git://git.openmoko.org/git/openmoko.git
• git fetch openmoko.org
• git branch -r
• gitk openmoko.org/org.openmoko.asu.stable
• git diff origin/org.openembedded.dev openmoko.org/org.openmoko.asu.stable
• git diff origin/org.openembedded.dev openmoko.org/org.openmoko.asu.stable classes
• git checkout -b org.openmoko.asu.stable --track openmoko.org/org.openmoko.asu.stable

Monotone to Git Conversion Issues

• Monotone to Git ID mapping

Why Git

Why are we switching:

• better support for branching and merging (this is where git shines)
• much faster
• much larger user base -- many people doing OE work are already using git for kernel work
