Gitiles - A simple JGit repository browser
==========================================

Gitiles is a simple repository browser for Git repositories, built on JGit. Its
guiding principle is simplicity: it has no formal access controls, no write
access, no fancy Javascript, etc.


BUILDING

Gitiles requires Maven (http://maven.apache.org/) to build.

sudo apt-get install maven
cd gitiles
mvn compile


TESTING

cd gitiles
mvn package
./tools/run_dev.sh
open http://localhost:8080/ to view your local copy of gitiles.


ECLIPSE

If you'd like to use Eclipse to edit Gitiles, you will need the m2e
Eclipse plugin: http://eclipse.org/m2e/

File -> Import -> Maven -> Existing Maven Project

Make sure that all 4 projects are imported:
gitiles-parent, gitiles-dev, gitiles-servlet, gitiles-war


CODE REVIEW

Gitiles uses Gerrit for code review:
https://gerrit-review.googlesource.com/

Gitiles uses the "git push" workflow described here:
http://gerrit.googlecode.com/svn/documentation/2.0/user-upload.html
With the server https://gerrit.googlesource.com/gitiles
You'll need a password from: https://gerrit.googlesource.com/new-password

Gerrit depends on "Change-Id" annotations in your commit message.
If you try to push a commit without one, it will explain how to
install the proper git-hook:

curl -Lo `git rev-parse --git-dir`/hooks/commit-msg \
    https://gerrit-review.googlesource.com/tools/hooks/commit-msg
chmod +x `git rev-parse --git-dir`/hooks/commit-msg

Before you create your local commit (which you'll push to Gerrit)
you will need to set your email to match your Gerrit account:
git config --local --add user.email [email protected]

Normally you'll create code reviews for pushes to master:
git push origin HEAD:refs/for/master
