As an example we'll use the ''awesome'' group, administrative user (set up by HPC staff) ''admin'' and a regular user ''student''.

Git is a free and open source distributed version control system designed to handle everything from small to very large projects with speed and efficiency.

Git is easy to learn and has a tiny footprint with lightning fast performance. It outclasses SCM tools like Subversion, CVS, Perforce, and ClearCase with features like cheap local branching, convenient staging areas, and multiple workflows.
* List your projected git usage:
 
  
#What group will be accessing it.
+
<!--Modules-->
#Who would be the group administrator (username).
+
==Environment Modules==
#How soon you need it set up.
+
Run <code>module spider {{#var:app}}</code> to find out what environment modules are available for this application.
#How much space you need i.e. what type of content is going to be stored in the repository.
+
==System Variables==
#The uptime requirements i.e. whether the occasional downtime is acceptable.
+
* HPC_{{uc:{{#var:app}}}}_DIR - installation directory
#Where the repository administrator's public ssh key can be found (you can paste it into the support ticket).
 
  
* Assuming that your usage pattern falls within the limits of our resources we'll create a repository 'awesome' on git.hpc.ufl.edu and configure it for the administrator. After that the administrator 'admin' can do the following:

{{#if: {{#var: exe}}|==Additional Information==
  
==Repository Administration==
+
UFRC git environment module also contains a 'git-lfs' instance, so you can run 'git lfs ...' after loading the git environment module.
Check out the admin repository
 
  git clone awesome@git.hpc.ufl.edu:gitolite-admin.git
 
or change into the gitolite-admin directory if already cloned and run 'git pull' to refresh the local working tree from the server.

;Single machine

<!--Job Scripts-->
: e.g. user 'jdoe' working on a single machine who provided the repository administrator with a public ssh key named ''jdoe.pub''
+
{{#if: {{#var: job}}|==Job Script Examples==
cd gitolite-admin
+
See the [[{{PAGENAME}}_Job_Scripts]] page for {{#var: app}} Job script examples.

: if a user needs to access the repository from another machine named, for example, 'jdoe_laptop'

git add *
 
git commit -m "added a new key from jdoe_laptop for user jdoe"
 
git push
 
  
===Grant Access===
+

Once a new user (but not a new key for an existing user) is added they need to be granted access to appropriate repositories. This is done by editing the config/gitolite.conf file, then committing and pushing the commit to the server.

<!--Performance-->

{{#if: {{#var: testing}}|==Performance==
  
For example, to allow access from users 'janedoe' and 'johndoe' to a repository 'test1' either add their gitolite key names to the access list for that repository or create a gitolite group, add the users to the group and grant the group access to the repository.

==Git email reports==
 
We can enable Git email reports for any repository. Please email the support or file a suport ticket. Once enabled, every "push" to the remote repository on git.hpc.ufl.edu will produce a commit email report to a defined list of email addresses.
 
==Multiple SSH keys==
 
To enable a user to have multiple ssh keys for accessing the UFRC Git server the repository administrator can simply put the user's keys under subdirectories in the 'keydir', add, commit, and push as usual. The user must make sure they're using the right key. It's often convenient to create a SSH configuration for each particular combination of repositories and keys. For example,
 
 
 
* Edit your <code>~/.ssh/config</code> file on a local machine that need to be configured. Let's assume that the main configuration is
 
Host hpcgit
 
    HostName git.hpc.ufl.edu
 
    User awesomegroup
 
    IdentityFile ~/.ssh/id_rsa
 
   
 
To be able to use an alternate key add the following configuration
 
Host hpcgit2
 
    HostName git.hpc.ufl.edu
 
    User awesomegroup
 
    IdentityFile ~/.ssh/id_rsa_my_other_key
 
 
 
Once configuration is done you'll be able to check out the repository via
 
 
 
git clone hpcgit2:my_repository
 
 
 
'''Notes:''' Make sure that the '''User''' is set to your group's Git account and not your personal HPC account name.

Description

git website  

Git is a free and open source distributed version control system designed to handle everything from small to very large projects with speed and efficiency.

Git is easy to learn and has a tiny footprint with lightning fast performance. It outclasses SCM tools like Subversion, CVS, Perforce, and ClearCase with features like cheap local branching, convenient staging areas, and multiple workflows.

Environment Modules

Run module spider git to find out what environment modules are available for this application.

System Variables

  • HPC_GIT_DIR - installation directory


Additional Information

UFRC git environment module also contains a 'git-lfs' instance, so you can run 'git lfs ...' after loading the git environment module.
