What is git.alt?
git.alt is a hosting for git repositories. Git.alt is integrated with gear — the system of packages building and storage.
Services similar to Git.alt are github and gitorious. git.alt differs from them in its advanced SSH repositories management interface, e-mail notifications of many kinds and relatively simplistic web-interface.
How to use?
git.alt provides the following kinds of access to the repositories:
- SSH. Special commands are provided: repos search, cloning, creation, deletion, build invocation and control, and some auxiliary ones.
- ssh:, git:, http: provide immediate access to repositories. With git: and http: you can only do read-only operations, ssh: gives read-write access.
- Web interface. It is located here: http://git.altlinux.org/ and provides repos navigation and gitweb for each individual repo.
SSH access to git.alt is only granted to persons who joined ALT Linux Team.
SSH access
You can use git.alt via SSH at git.altlinux.org:222. The login name is your ALT Linux Team username with _ (underscores) instead of - (hyphens), if there are any.
Here is an example of an entry in your ~/.ssh/config file:
Host git.alt HostName git.altlinux.org Port 222 User git_USERNAME
If your are behind a proxy, most ports are blocked etc., you can also access SSH with the address git.altlinux.org:443.
The list of available commands is displayed, when you login to SSH without commands or with help command:
$ ssh git.alt help
Available commands:
help
git-receive-pack <directory>
git-upload-pack <directory>
charset <path to git repository> [<charset>]
clone <path to git repository> [<path to directory>]
find-package <pattern>
init-db <path to directory>
ls [<path to directory>]
mv-db <path to source directory> <path to destination directory>
quota
rm-db <path to git repository>
task {list|new|show|drop|add|run} ...
build <path to gear repository> <tag name> [<binary package repository name>] [<project name>]
$
In all commands, the .git suffix for repositories is optional and may be omitted; but in the output of commands this suffix is always appended.
ls
$ ssh git.alt ls [<directory>]
Similar to UNIX ls, this command lets you see contents of directories at git.alt:
$ ssh git.alt ls /people/dottedmag/public total 24 drwxr-sr-x 5 4096 Jun 13 10:22 bugzilla-repo-sync.git ... drwxr-sr-x 5 4096 Jul 7 18:03 wackoconvert.git $
The command issued without parameters displays the contents of /people/$USERNAME:
$ ssh git.alt ls total 16 drwxr-s--- 5 4096 May 30 21:27 etc drwxr-sr-x 14 4096 Aug 13 23:53 packages drwxr-s--x 2 4096 Feb 13 2007 private drwxr-sr-x 8 4096 Aug 13 23:57 public $
The same directory is used as a base for relative paths:
$ ssh git.alt ls public total 24 drwxr-sr-x 5 4096 Jun 13 10:22 bugzilla-repo-sync.git ... drwxr-sr-x 5 4096 Jul 7 18:03 wackoconvert.git $
find-package
$ ssh git.alt find-package <pattern>
This command searches repositories with names matching <pattern>. The only wildcard character allowed in <pattern> is * (asterisk). It is assumed that all public gear-repos are located in packages directories of each user, so repos are only searched in these directories.
$ ssh git.alt find-package glibc* /people/avm/packages/glibc.git 1216320095 ... /people/peet/packages/glibc-kernheaders.git 1177084354 /people/mike/packages/glibc-kvercheck.git 1160664813 $ ssh git.alt find-package glibc /people/avm/packages/glibc.git 1216320095 ... /people/peet/packages/glibc.git 1177084600 $
The second column in tt>find-package output is a unixtime of the last repo update.
