Manual:Pywikibot/Gerrit/cs

Terminologie

 * Git - a version control system. Replaces SVN.
 * Gerrit - a code review platform (https://gerrit.wikimedia.org). Replaces Special:CodeReview
 * core - actual (master) branch formerly known as "rewrite".

Git clients
For example in order to download core via commandline:
 * Windows users: We recommend you use TortoiseGit with Git for Windows. Install TortoiseGit first!
 * macOS/Linux: commandline git - https://git-scm.com/ or brew install git(Homebrew, macOS)

To update:

If you're lazy and want to be able to do that all at once, you can do:

Note that the repositories are somewhat large (~70MB). If this is an issue, use

to just retrieve the latest versions.

Použití SVN
But wait... I don't want to use Git. Can I still use SVN? Yes!

Updating is as simple as

Windows users may also use the GUI extension TortoiseSVN. You'll find the documentation here.

Adresy URL
Your client will probably ask you for the repository url. The urls follow the format of: .

So for core: .

Nightly distributions
You can download the whole packages or browse the source code via nightly distributor in Wikimedia Labs

For developers
How to submit patches...configure git/gerrit. etc.

Read the guidelines, then follow steps in Gerrit/Getting started and run this: and after modifying codes follow steps in Gerrit/Tutorial


 * Windows: Developer using Windows may also use Gerrit/TortoiseGit tutorial for further informations.

Example (step-by-step)
Do the following, step-by-step:
 * 1) setup your software:
 * 2) if not done already for svn access; create an SSH key, a developer account and add your public key to gerrit as well as to wikitech
 * 3) install 'git' package
 * 4) install 'git-review' package
 * 5) * the one by openstack, NOT the one by Facebook
 * 6) * any version like 1.12, 1.21, but NOT v1.18
 * 7) clone and setup your repo:
 * 8) clone the git repo with all submodules by using (like  )   and wait, this step will take some time
 * 9) enter the directory
 * 10) config git setting for this repo/directory only (not global, in case e.g. you have different pseudo for multiple projects)   and   in order to configure this globally, use the   parameter
 * 11) config your terminal/console to output english messages (in order to work properly with git review, see Gerrit/git-review)   this has to be done every time a new console is started, in order to configure this permanently, put this into your   or similar setup file
 * 12) setup git review for this repo only   and enter your   again, this is an important step - if you forget it, according to Gerrit/Tutorial, the final   below (needed to commit your changes for review) will fail - though this can be still solved then
 * 13) work with the repo, e.g. commit patches for review:
 * 14) switch to the master branch (might not be needed)
 * 15) update the current branch to revision online (like  )
 * 16) create your own local temporary branch for working   and try to choose a   with the help of the branch naming tips available - the branch can be removed when not needed anymore with
 * 17) now write some code; see the Git commands add, rm and mv to add, remove or rename files - when you're ready go to the next step
 * 18) commit your changes to your local temporary branch with   (you can use   instead of   and   instead of  ) and, as used from svn, enter a meaningful commit message, e.g. a short description of your code changes
 * 19) * See Gerrit/Commit message guidelines.
 * 20) optionally check your changes by looking at the committed data   and make sure that you are sending what you wanted to
 * 21) send the data to the online repository, resp. gerrit for review (like  )
 * 22) finally go to Gerrit, click on your change and write a reviewer name in the input box near the "Add Reviewer" button
 * 23) optionally/opt-in further settings:
 * 24) * enable RCS keywords expansion (like svn:keywords ) by using git hooks (explained in detail here - german only)
 * 25) ** for core (rewrite):
 * 26) ** (may be we should consider using the git-rcs-keywords module as mentioned in dealing-with-svn-keyword-expansion-with-git-svn)

Phabricator
Patches will be linked to a Phabricator task automatically if you mention 'Bug: T12345' in a line just before 'Change-Id: ....'. See Gerrit/Commit message guidelines for more information.

https://integration.wikimedia.org/ci/job/pywikibot-core-tox-flake8/2591/console : FAILURE in ?s (non-voting) The patchset committed did not pass flake8 code style checks. That says nothing about the functionality of the code but about the syntax and style.

https://integration.wikimedia.org/ci/job/pywikibot-core-tox-flake8-docstrings-mandatory/560/console : FAILURE in ?s (non-voting) The patchset committed did not pass mandatory pep257 code style checks. That says nothing about the functionality of the code but about the inline documentation.

https://integration.wikimedia.org/ci/job/pywikibot-core-tox-nose/1448/console : FAILURE in ?s (non-voting) The patchset committed did not pass pre-merge test suite. That indicates the code fails the basic tests, but a pass says nothing about the functionality of the modified code. There is a more extensive set of tests which developers should run pre-submission, and will run post merge.

This change could not be automatically merged with the current state of the repository. Please rebase your change and upload a new patchset. The pachset cannot be merged automatically into current HEAD. Please consider Gerrit/Advanced usage for a solution.
