Orion/Orion - Git client enhancements
< Orion
- Student: Piotr Janik
- Mentors: Tomasz Zarna, Szymon Brandys
This project is part of the Google Summer of Code 2011

Goal
The first release of Orion is going to provide a simple but fully functional support for git. The idea behind this project is to identify missing bits and address them.
My work would include implementation of missing Git commands. Task includes both server side and UI work.
General plan
- Enhancement of existing remote command by implementing add/remove remotes functionality.
- Add support for working with branches i.e. implement git branch and git checkout
- Implementation of missing commands like reset, rm, revert, cherry-pick. Work will include both server and client side, number of implemented commands depends on available time.
- Changing server implementation of some Git commands to use JGit porcelain API instead of JGit internals.
- Enhancing existing commit and add commands to be able to work with single file. Currently, only whole project can be committed.
- Implementation of user friendly graphical representation of git log. Similar to what we can see in EGit or git log --graph.
- Improvement of git config. Current configuration options cover only user.name and user.email.
- General UI polishing. For example clone seems to need some work, according to discussion available here.
- implement conditional GET where possible to reduce network traffic between client and server. [bug 338121, bug 338122, bug 339846]
- Implementing hundreds of fresh ideas, which may come once you begin development work. :)
Also very important parts of my work:
- Cooperation with JGit community when it is needed. As JGit is still in development, some features can be missing, some can change rapidly and some can need a fix.
- Taking care of test coverage and wiki updates (i.e. server side Git REST API).
