How To Use Git Automated

We have a handy tool jscode to make working with source code easier.

jscode --help
usage: jscode [-h] [-n NAME] [--url URL] [-m MESSAGE] [-b BRANCH]
              [-a ACCOUNTS] [-u] [-f] [-d] [-o]
              {get,commit,push,update,status,list,init}

positional arguments:
  {get,commit,push,update,status,list,init}
                        Command to perform

optional arguments:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
  -n NAME, --name NAME  name or partial name of repo, can also be comma
                        separated, if not specified then will ask, if '*' then
                        all.
  --url URL             url
  -m MESSAGE, --message MESSAGE
                        commit message
  -b BRANCH, --branch BRANCH
                        branch
  -a ACCOUNTS, --accounts ACCOUNTS
                        comma separated list of accounts, if not specified
                        then will ask, if '*' then all.
  -u, --update          update merge before doing push or commit
  -f, --force           auto answer yes on every question
  -d, --deletechanges   will delete all changes when doing update
  -o, --onlychanges     will only do an action where modified files are found

jscode init

jscode init

this will check if there is ~/.ssh/id_rsa
if not keys will be generated
your git configuration will be done (email, username)
your bashrc will be adjusted to make sure your ssh-agent gets loaded properly

If you entered a passphrase for your key, you will get asked for it when you do a relogin

jscode status and jscode list

jscode status Show all the code repos status (if it has local modifications). jscode list shows the remote URLs

jscode commit

Commit changes in a repo (or all repos) optionally commit to branch using the -b option.

jscode update

Pulls all new remote changes to local clone.

jscode push

Pushes all local commit to remote.

How To Use Git Manual Way

Generate Keys

generate your own ssh keys
- look at https://help.github.com/articles/generating-ssh-keys/ has a good explanation
best to use a passphrase !!! you will only have to use the passphrase when you load it in your ssh-add

Manually Load Keys

ssh-agent is a very nice tool which allows you to use your keys without having to type the passphrase all the time.

if you manually want to use ssh-agent to load your keys Look at next session which is the better way !

eval "$(ssh-agent -s)"
ssh-add ~/.ssh/id_rsa

~/.ssh/id_rsa is your private key you have generated, never expose this key, its only for you
~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub is your public key, this one needs to be used to get access to other machine or service (like git in this case)

How to get ssh-agent to work without having to do this manually

add this to end of $homedir/.bashrc

ssh-add -l &>/dev/null
if [ "$?" == 2 ]; then
  test -r ~/.ssh-agent && \
    eval "$(<~/.ssh-agent)" >/dev/null

  ssh-add -l &>/dev/null
  if [ "$?" == 2 ]; then
    (umask 066; ssh-agent > ~/.ssh-agent)
    eval "$(<~/.ssh-agent)" >/dev/null
    ssh-add
  fi
fi

this will make sure your ssh-agent get's loaded and keys are in mem for maximum 10h

set your git private details

git config --global user.email "[email protected]"
git config --global user.name "Billy Everyteen"

How to manually checkout a git repo

mkdir -p ~/code
cd ~/code/
git clone [email protected]:Jumpscale/jumpscale_core7.git

the nice thing is you will not have to use login/passwd when doing code mgmt as long as you have your keys filled in.
