[cctbxbb] Moving cctbx to git

[markus.gerstel at diamond.ac.uk]

Hello everyone,

Just a friendly reminder that tomorrow morning (Europe and UK), tonight (US) we will complete the migration of the cctbx source repository to git.



At this time if you want to commit code: *keep committing to Sourceforge*.

Do not worry about leaving uncommitted changes in your SVN tree. Those can be migrated later, instructions for this will follow after the move.



The new cctbx repository lives at https://github.com/cctbx/cctbx_project, however please do not commit to this repository yet!



We have set up a mailing list at https://www.jiscmail.ac.uk/cgi-bin/webadmin?A0=CCTBX-COMMIT, where you can get commit notifications and test results.



If you haven't done it before, now is a good time to set up your local installation of git to use your name and mail address with

git config --global user.name "John Doe"

git config --global user.email your_email at example.com<mailto:your_email at example.com>

as well as this setting to avoid merge commits:

git config --global pull.rebase true

Note that you must set these on every computer you use! You may want to keep a copy of those commands around in case you ever get a new computer.

You should use mail addresses registered with your github account, or - if you enable it in your github account - the anonymous address offered by github.



You may want to use the time to sort out your ssh access keys with your GitHub account, and play around with git a bit. You can test that everything works using the temporary sandbox repository of cctbx. Here are some commands to get you started:

git clone git at github.com:cctbx/cctbx-playground.git <mailto:git at github.com:cctbx/cctbx-playground.git%20>

cd cctbx-playground

echo some text >> some-file

git add some-file

git commit -m "some commit"

git push

git log

Then go to https://github.com/cctbx/cctbx-playground/commits/master to see how other people will see your commits.





The next steps:



*Tuesday 22nd November 2016, 11:59pm Pacific Time*

*= Wednesday 23rd November 2016, 07:59am GMT:*

Sourceforge: *Read-only*. GitHub: Committing allowed

Please do not commit to Sourceforge any more.

All future commits should go to GitHub only.

Instructions to migrate local developer repositories will be sent around.

Change any website pointers from SF to GitHub.

Remaining commits on Sourceforge will be migrated to GitHub.
