Swordfish Documentation: GIT Repository
{{#eclipseproject:rt.swordfish}}
Contents
Description
We need to have a repository for automating patch creation for the Swordfish project which will allow non-eclipse commiters to work with the Swordfish sources.
Current Problem / Pain
Only eclipse commiters could commit to the Swordfish repository, patches need to be send to them to check in.
Advantages/Business Case
GIT repository will automate patch creation and let external (internal) developers work with SCM cycle without Eclipse commiter rights.
Use Cases
• Developers creating a git repository on GITHub. • Developers are forking the one of the eclipse commiters GIT repository. • Developers are working with checkin-checkout cycles, also branching and merging. • Developers are notifying a forked repository owner when they are ready to merge it back.
Conditions of satisfaction
- GIT works for all developers.
- Developers can work via GIT with Eclipse Swordfish sources.
- Patches from the deveopers could be submitted to Eclipse Swordfish subversion repository.
- Updates from Eclipse Swordfish Subversion repository could be fetched from GIT repository.
