First-time setup

Basic git commands

Branch naming conventions

• On your local machine you can call your branches however you like. However, it might be useful to use the same names that you use on trac.

mystuff

• If you are working on a branch yourself, then it is best to put your patches on trac in your personal space

u/aschilling/mystuff

• If you collaborate on a branch with others or have already a ticket number, then please put your branch on the public space and mark it as combinat

public/combinat/mystuff

• The branch name should be descriptive. If you have a ticket number (say 10305) that should be the first part of the name. The rest should describe what is in the branch, so people can easily search it

public/combinat/10305-partition-tableaux

Consistently using these naming conventions among all (sage-combinat) developers will make it easier to search for stuff. For example, trying to find all branches related to combinatorics can be found as follows

$ git ls-remote origin *combinat*
5feebdbfa73f64dafe28a5e4fe0144ab36083ab0        refs/heads/public/combinat/15361-branching-rules
7f974aeb3446206c029ac047c31938d55d86e651        refs/heads/u/aschilling/combinat/kschur

Example workflow

Moving a ticket from patches to git

Moving a patch from the combinat queue to git

All patches in the queue will soon be merged from the sage-combinat queue to git branches on trac. Authors who want to do this themselves are encouraged to do so. The script will by default put the branches to public/combinat/branchname and might loose author information if the patch does not have the appropriate meta information.

Here is a sample workflow on how to transform your patch to git:

• First make sure that your patch has the correct meta data by exporting it.
• Make a new branch on your local machine:

$ git checkout -b combinat/kschur master
$ git branch
* combinat/kschur
  master
  ticket/15300

• Next import the patch from the queue

$ sage --dev import-patch --local-file /Applications/sage-5.13.beta2/devel/sage-combinat/.hg/patches/kschur-as.patch

• Now we create a branch on trac

$ git push --set-upstream origin combinat/kschur:u/aschilling/combinat/kschur

 * [new branch]      combinat/kschur -> u/aschilling/combinat/kschur
Branch combinat/kschur set up to track remote branch u/aschilling/combinat/kschur from origin.

• Mark the patch in the sage-combinat series file as moved to git by changing

kschur-as.patch

• to

kschur-as.patch # git:u/aschilling/combinat/kschur
