Using git.hpc.ufl.edu

Request a group repository

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

  • Open a support ticket in the HPC Support] ticket system with a name like "Create an HPC Git repository for the "Awesome" group.
  • List your projected git usage:
  1. What group will be accessing it.
  2. Who would be the group administrator (username).
  3. How soon you need it set up.
  4. How much space you need i.e. what type of content is going to be stored in the repository.
  5. The uptime requirements i.e. whether the occasional downtime is acceptable.
  6. 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:

admin@linux64

The admin user on a remote machine linux64 can do the following

  • Check out the admin repository
git clone awesome@git.hpc.ufl.edu:gitolite-admin.git
  • Add more users e.g. 'student' with a public key student.pub
cd gitolite-admin
cp ~/student.pub keydir/
git add keydir/*
git commit -m "added user student"
git push
  • Create a new repository denovo for de novo assembly scripts and set access to users admin and student
cd gitolite-admin
vim conf/gitolite.conf

Add a group configuration:

@mygroup = admin student

Add a repository configuration repo denovo

   RW+     =   @mygroup
   R       =   @all
  • Commit and push
git add *
git commit -m "Set up a new repository denovo for use by admin and student"
git push
  • Create a local working tree for the denovo project:
cd
mkdir denovo
cd denovo
git init
git remote add origin awesome@git.hpc.ufl.edu:denovo.git
  • Add and edit some files
  • Commit and push to the Git server
git add *
git commit -m "Initial import"
git push origin master

Output:

Initialized empty Git repository in /git/awesome/repositories/denovo.git/
Counting objects: 3, done.
Writing objects: 100% (3/3), 231 bytes, done.
Total 3 (delta 0), reused 0 (delta 0)
To awesome@git.hpc.ufl.edu:denovo.git
* [new branch]      master -> master

After a new user 'student is allowed access they can start using the repository.

student@linux64

  • Clone the denovo repository
git clone awesome@git.hpc.ufl.edu:denovo.git

Output:

Cloning into denovo...
remote: Counting objects: 3, done.
remote: Total 3 (delta 0), reused 0 (delta 0)
Receiving objects: 100% (3/3), done.
  • Work in the git working tree
cd denovo

Edit and add files

  • Commit and push the changes to the repository
git add *
git commit -m "The changes I made"
git push

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 ~/.ssh/config 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

   HostName git.hpc.ufl.edu
   User awesomegroup
   IdentityFile ~/.ssh/id_rsa_my_other_key
