Kitware Local Git Setup Scripts
Introduction
------------
This is a collection of local Git development setup scripts meant for
inclusion in project source trees to aid their development workflow.
Project-specific information needed by the scripts may be configured
in a "config" file added next to them in the project.
Import
------
A project may import these scripts into their source tree by
initializing a subtree merge. Bring up a Git prompt and set the
current working directory inside a clone of the target project.
Fetch the "setup" branch from the GitSetup repository:
$ git fetch ../GitSetup setup:setup
Prepare to merge the branch but place the content in a subdirectory.
Any prefix (with trailing '/') may be chosen so long as it is used
consistently within a project through the rest of these instructions:
$ git merge -s ours --no-commit setup
$ git read-tree -u --prefix=Utilities/GitSetup/ setup
Commit the merge with an informative message:
$ git commit
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Merge branch 'setup'
Add Utilities/GitSetup/ directory using subtree merge from
the general GitSetup repository "setup" branch.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Configuration
-------------
Read the "Project configuration instructions" comment in each script.
Add a "config" file next to the scripts with desired configuration
(optionally copy and modify "config.sample"). For example, to
configure the "setup-hooks" script:
$ git config -f Utilities/GitSetup/config hooks.url "$url"
where "$url" is the project repository publishing the "hooks" branch.
When finished, add and commit the configuration file:
$ git add Utilities/GitSetup/config
$ git commit
Update
------
A project may update these scripts from the GitSetup repository.
Bring up a Git prompt and set the current working directory inside a
clone of the target project. Fetch the "setup" branch from the
GitSetup repository:
$ git fetch ../GitSetup setup:setup
Merge the "setup" branch into the subtree:
$ git merge -X subtree=Utilities/GitSetup setup
where "Utilities/GitSetup" is the same prefix used during the import
setup, but without a trailing '/'.
