Reminder to self: make a list of URL suffixes to show branch diagrams of repositories

Posted by jpluimers on 2018/12/18

One of the BitBucket features I like a lot is that in the commit history, you see the branches involved in a nice diagram on the left side of the commits: https://bitbucket.org/pypy/pypy/commits

BitBucket used to be popular to host public repositories, but from a public perspective, they are on the decline for that (they even removed the [once popular] bitbucket.org/explore page and [WayBack] will not re-introduce it).

Right now, only major git based hosters still have explore pages:

So it makes sense to see where they provide diagrams of branches, so here are some examples to go from a project to the graph:

It looks like the PlasticSCM people are building a git-client, but it needs on-line installation and registration

Posted by jpluimers on 2018/12/15

gmaster is an interesting Windows based git client, but you cannot install it off-line, and by default it does not use the external git.exe.

See the below tweets.

[WayBack] git – How to store releases/binaries in GitLab? – Stack Overflow: yes you can, but on gitlab.com they are limited to a whopping 10 megabytes in size.

[solved]Where is my user ID in GitLab.com? – HowTo – GitLab Community Forum

Posted by jpluimers on 2018/12/06

Try https://gitlab.com/api/v4/users?username=??? where ??? is your username. This will only work if you are already logged into gitlab.

Alternatively,

  1. go to https://gitlab.com/profile/account and copy your Private token.
  2. Then run the following command from a bash-like terminal:
    curl --header "PRIVATE-TOKEN: AAAA" https://gitlab.com/api/v4/users?username=BBBB
    where AAAA is your private token and BBBB is your username.

Source: [WayBack] [solved]Where is my user ID in GitLab.com? – HowTo – GitLab Community Forum

Works:

  1. https://gitlab.com/users/sign_in
  2. https://gitlab.com/api/v4/users?username=wiert

Via the ID, you can find the issues assigned to the user:

Some links that might help migrating from Mantis to GitLab

I might give a few of these a shot:

Protected Branches | GitLab

Posted by jpluimers on 2018/11/26

[WayBack] Protected Branches | GitLab usually are a cool feature, but sometimes they get in the way, for instance when someone having enough rights has pushed credentials or API keys to a repository.

Unlike the picture in the documentation that indicates the default looks like Masters, this is now assigned to the role Maintainers.

Wrong:

A repository with a hierarchy or modules referencing each other might not be a good idea

Posted by jpluimers on 2018/11/20

When creating a library of libraries where the libraries use parts of the other libraries creates a mess when organised as a repository with subrepositories having other subrepositories.

It might be better to have one big repository containing a suite of functionality. This is why darkThreading became part of darkGlass: [WayBack] Why no git submodules for the libraries it depends on? · Issue #1 · chapmanworld/darkThreading · GitHub:

You might want to maintain that suite as one big versioned repository, with a different means of structuring it than a tree of submodules. That way you can keep the more complex interdependencies between the parts you have now.

Example of the mess: [WayBack] Duplicate submodules with Git – Stack Overflow

Where does my git question go? – Programmers Meta Stack Exchange

Posted by jpluimers on 2018/11/20

StackOverflow / StackExchange is growing too large:

You’ve got a question about git. Its not uncommon, lots of people have questions about git. But where should the question be asked?

When git fails to `fetch all`

Posted by jpluimers on 2018/10/26

“fetch all”

A SourceTree fetch all actually comes down to this:

git -c diff.mnemonicprefix=false -c core.quotepath=false fetch --tags origin

Despite being such a big command-line, it sometimes doesn’t find new remote branches and you end up with a situation like this:

git 2.19.1 on Windows: NullReferenceException during https pull/push/fetch

Posted by jpluimers on 2018/10/19

When using git 2.19.1 on Windows, you will likely get a NullReferenceException during pull/push/fetch operations on https connections.

Easiest workaround is to downgrade to 2.19.0: [WayBack] git pull fatal: NullReferenceException encountered. On an local instance of Bitbucket · Issue #1868 · git-for-windows/git · GitHub

I am seeing the same thing using 2.19.1 against our internal Bitbucket server. Reverting back to 2.19.0 the problem no longer occurs.

Harder workaround is to install the Git Credential Manager 1.18.1: [WayBack] git pull fatal: NullReferenceException encountered. On an local instance of Bitbucket · Issue #1868 · git-for-windows/git · GitHub.

[WayBack] Release Git Credential Manager for Windows v1.18.1 · Microsoft/Git-Credential-Manager-for-Windows · GitHub

Bug Fixes:

  • Fixes Null Reference exceptions when parameters or contentType are not populated

To install the Git Credential Manager, download and double-click the GCMW-1.18.1.exe installer. It is that easy, it will even install Git for Windows 2.17.0 and the Microsoft .Net Framework for you if necessary.

Hopefully that one will integrated in a minor update to git for Windows soon: [WayBack] git pull fatal: NullReferenceException encountered. On an local instance of Bitbucket · Issue #1868 · git-for-windows/git · GitHub

moderately soon, hopefully, there will be a minor version release of Git for Windows that will include the updated GCM v1.18.1. [just need more volunteer time for the PR and tests ;-)
That should eliminate the `Fatal: NullReferenceException” but appears not to fix the #1874https://github.com/git-for-windows/git/issues/1874 delays. (still to hear from the OP if the issue is definitely the AV, or something elese)

If you really dare, you can try the nightly snapshot which already includes GCMW-1.18.1: [WayBack] git pull fatal: NullReferenceException encountered. On an local instance of Bitbucket · Issue #1868 · git-for-windows/git · GitHub

the next official Git for Windows version will have a new Git Credential Manager version. Also, the current snapshot at https://wingit.blob.core.windows.net/files/index.html should have it already.
