PERLGIT(1)                            Perl Programmers Reference Guide                            PERLGIT(1)



NAME
       perlgit - Detailed information about git and the Perl repository

DESCRIPTION
       This document provides details on using git to develop Perl. If you are just interested in working on
       a quick patch, see perlhack first.  This document is intended for people who are regular contributors
       to Perl, including those with write access to the git repository.

CLONING THE REPOSITORY
       All of Perl's source code is kept centrally in a Git repository at perl5.git.perl.org.

       You can make a read-only clone of the repository by running:

         % git clone git://perl5.git.perl.org/perl.git perl

       This uses the git protocol (port 9418).

       If you cannot use the git protocol for firewall reasons, you can also clone via http, though this is
       much slower:

         % git clone http://perl5.git.perl.org/perl.git perl

WORKING WITH THE REPOSITORY
       Once you have changed into the repository directory, you can inspect it. After a clone the repository
       will contain a single local branch, which will be the current branch as well, as indicated by the
       asterisk.

         % git branch
         * blead

       Using the -a switch to "branch" will also show the remote tracking branches in the repository:

         % git branch -a
         * blead
           origin/HEAD
           origin/blead
         ...

       The branches that begin with "origin" correspond to the "git remote" that you cloned from (which is
       named "origin"). Each branch on the remote will be exactly tracked by these branches. You should
       NEVER do work on these remote tracking branches. You only ever do work in a local branch. Local
       branches can be configured to automerge (on pull) from a designated remote tracking branch. This is
       the case with the default branch "blead" which will be configured to merge from the remote tracking
       branch "origin/blead".

       You can see recent commits:

         % git log

       And pull new changes from the repository, and update your local repository (must be clean first)

         % git pull

       Assuming we are on the branch "blead" immediately after a pull, this command would be more or less
       equivalent to:

         % git fetch
         % git merge origin/blead

       In fact if you want to update your local repository without touching your working directory you do:

         % git fetch

       And if you want to update your remote-tracking branches for all defined remotes simultaneously you
       can do

         % git remote update

       Neither of these last two commands will update your working directory, however both will update the
       remote-tracking branches in your repository.

       To make a local branch of a remote branch:

         % git checkout -b maint-5.10 origin/maint-5.10

       To switch back to blead:

         % git checkout blead

   Finding out your status
       The most common git command you will use will probably be

         % git status

       This command will produce as output a description of the current state of the repository, including
       modified files and unignored untracked files, and in addition it will show things like what files
       have been staged for the next commit, and usually some useful information about how to change things.
       For instance the following:

         $ git status
         # On branch blead
         # Your branch is ahead of 'origin/blead' by 1 commit.
         #
         # Changes to be committed:
         #   (use "git reset HEAD <file>..." to unstage)
         #
         #       modified:   pod/perlgit.pod
         #
         # Changed but not updated:
         #   (use "git add <file>..." to update what will be committed)
         #
         #       modified:   pod/perlgit.pod
         #
         # Untracked files:
         #   (use "git add <file>..." to include in what will be committed)
         #
         #       deliberate.untracked

       This shows that there were changes to this document staged for commit, and that there were further
       changes in the working directory not yet staged. It also shows that there was an untracked file in
       the working directory, and as you can see shows how to change all of this. It also shows that there
       is one commit on the working branch "blead" which has not been pushed to the "origin" remote yet.
       NOTE: that this output is also what you see as a template if you do not provide a message to "git
       commit".

   Patch workflow
       First, please read perlhack for details on hacking the Perl core.  That document covers many details
       on how to create a good patch.

       If you already have a Perl repository, you should ensure that you're on the blead branch, and your
       repository is up to date:

         % git checkout blead
         % git pull

       It's preferable to patch against the latest blead version, since this is where new development occurs
       for all changes other than critical bug fixes. Critical bug fix patches should be made against the
       relevant maint branches, or should be submitted with a note indicating all the branches where the fix
       should be applied.

       Now that we have everything up to date, we need to create a temporary new branch for these changes
       and switch into it:

         % git checkout -b orange

       which is the short form of

         % git branch orange
         % git checkout orange

       Creating a topic branch makes it easier for the maintainers to rebase or merge back into the master
       blead for a more linear history. If you don't work on a topic branch the maintainer has to manually
       cherry pick your changes onto blead before they can be applied.

       That'll get you scolded on perl5-porters, so don't do that. Be Awesome.

       Then make your changes. For example, if Leon Brocard changes his name to Orange Brocard, we should
       change his name in the AUTHORS file:

         % perl -pi -e 's{Leon Brocard}{Orange Brocard}' AUTHORS

       You can see what files are changed:

         % git status
         # On branch orange
         # Changes to be committed:
         #   (use "git reset HEAD <file>..." to unstage)
         #
         #    modified:   AUTHORS
         #

       And you can see the changes:

         % git diff
         diff --git a/AUTHORS b/AUTHORS
         index 293dd70..722c93e 100644

          Lincoln D. Stein               <lstein@cshl.org>

       Now commit your change locally:

         % git commit -a -m 'Rename Leon Brocard to Orange Brocard'
         Created commit 6196c1d: Rename Leon Brocard to Orange Brocard
          1 files changed, 1 insertions(+), 1 deletions(-)

       The "-a" option is used to include all files that git tracks that you have changed. If at this time,
       you only want to commit some of the files you have worked on, you can omit the "-a" and use the
       command "git add FILE ..." before doing the commit. "git add --interactive" allows you to even just
       commit portions of files instead of all the changes in them.

       The "-m" option is used to specify the commit message. If you omit it, git will open a text editor
       for you to compose the message interactively. This is useful when the changes are more complex than
       the sample given here, and, depending on the editor, to know that the first line of the commit
       message doesn't exceed the 50 character legal maximum.

       Once you've finished writing your commit message and exited your editor, git will write your change
       to disk and tell you something like this:

         Created commit daf8e63: explain git status and stuff about remotes
          1 files changed, 83 insertions(+), 3 deletions(-)

       If you re-run "git status", you should see something like this:

         % git status
         # On branch blead
         # Your branch is ahead of 'origin/blead' by 2 commits.
         #
         # Untracked files:
         #   (use "git add <file>..." to include in what will be committed)
         #
         #       deliberate.untracked
         nothing added to commit but untracked files present (use "git add" to track)

       When in doubt, before you do anything else, check your status and read it carefully, many questions
       are answered directly by the git status output.

       You can examine your last commit with:

         % git show HEAD

       and if you are not happy with either the description or the patch itself you can fix it up by editing
       the files once more and then issue:

         % git commit -a --amend

       Now you should create a patch file for all your local changes:

         % git format-patch -M origin..
         0001-Rename-Leon-Brocard-to-Orange-Brocard.patch

       You should now send an email to perlbug@perl.org <mailto:perlbug@perl.org> with a description of your
       changes, and include this patch file as an attachment. In addition to being tracked by RT, mail to
       perlbug will automatically be forwarded to perl5-porters (with manual moderation, so please be
       patient). You should only send patches to perl5-porters@perl.org <mailto:perl5-porters@perl.org>
       directly if the patch is not ready to be applied, but intended for discussion.

       See the next section for how to configure and use git to send these emails for you.

       If you want to delete your temporary branch, you may do so with:

         % git checkout blead
         % git branch -d orange
         error: The branch 'orange' is not an ancestor of your current HEAD.
         If you are sure you want to delete it, run 'git branch -D orange'.
         % git branch -D orange
         Deleted branch orange.

   Committing your changes
       Assuming that you'd like to commit all the changes you've made as a single atomic unit, run this
       command:

          % git commit -a

       (That "-a" tells git to add every file you've changed to this commit.  New files aren't automatically
       added to your commit when you use "commit -a" If you want to add files or to commit some, but not all
       of your changes, have a look at the documentation for "git add".)

       Git will start up your favorite text editor, so that you can craft a commit message for your change.
       See "Commit message" in perlhack for more information about what makes a good commit message.

       Once you've finished writing your commit message and exited your editor, git will write your change
       to disk and tell you something like this:

         Created commit daf8e63: explain git status and stuff about remotes
          1 files changed, 83 insertions(+), 3 deletions(-)

       If you re-run "git status", you should see something like this:

         % git status
         # On branch blead
         # Your branch is ahead of 'origin/blead' by 2 commits.
         #
         # Untracked files:
         #   (use "git add <file>..." to include in what will be committed)
         #
         #       deliberate.untracked
         nothing added to commit but untracked files present (use "git add" to track)

       When in doubt, before you do anything else, check your status and read it carefully, many questions
       are answered directly by the git status output.

   Using git to send patch emails
       Please read perlhack first in order to figure out where your patches should be sent.

       In your ~/git/perl repository, set the destination email to perl's bug tracker:

         $ git config sendemail.to perlbug@perl.org

       Or maybe perl5-porters:

         $ git config sendemail.to perl5-porters@perl.org

       Then you can use git directly to send your patch emails:

         $ git send-email 0001-Rename-Leon-Brocard-to-Orange-Brocard.patch

       You may need to set some configuration variables for your particular email service provider. For
       example, to set your global git config to send email via a gmail account:

         $ git config --global sendemail.smtpserver smtp.gmail.com
         $ git config --global sendemail.smtpssl 1
         $ git config --global sendemail.smtpuser YOURUSERNAME@gmail.com

       With this configuration, you will be prompted for your gmail password when you run 'git send-email'.
       You can also configure "sendemail.smtppass" with your password if you don't care about having your
       password in the .gitconfig file.

   A note on derived files
       Be aware that many files in the distribution are derivative--avoid patching them, because git won't
       see the changes to them, and the build process will overwrite them. Patch the originals instead. Most
       utilities (like perldoc) are in this category, i.e. patch utils/perldoc.PL rather than utils/perldoc.
       Similarly, don't create patches for files under $src_root/ext from their copies found in
       $install_root/lib. If you are unsure about the proper location of a file that may have gotten copied
       while building the source distribution, consult the "MANIFEST".

   Cleaning a working directory
       The command "git clean" can with varying arguments be used as a replacement for "make clean".

       To reset your working directory to a pristine condition you can do:

         % git clean -dxf

       However, be aware this will delete ALL untracked content. You can use

         % git clean -Xf

       to remove all ignored untracked files, such as build and test byproduct, but leave any  manually
       created files alone.

       If you only want to cancel some uncommitted edits, you can use "git checkout" and give it a list of
       files to be reverted, or "git checkout -f" to revert them all.

       If you want to cancel one or several commits, you can use "git reset".

   Bisecting
       "git" provides a built-in way to determine which commit should be blamed for introducing a given bug.
       "git bisect" performs a binary search of history to locate the first failing commit. It is fast,
       powerful and flexible, but requires some setup and to automate the process an auxiliary shell script
       is needed.

       The core provides a wrapper program, Porting/bisect.pl, which attempts to simplify as much as
       possible, making bisecting as simple as running a Perl one-liner. For example, if you want to know
       when this became an error:

           perl -e 'my $a := 2'

       you simply run this:

           .../Porting/bisect.pl -e 'my $a := 2;'

       Using "bisect.pl", with one command (and no other files) it's easy to find out

       •   Which commit caused this example code to break?

       •   Which commit caused this example code to start working?

       •   Which commit added the first file to match this regex?

       •   Which commit removed the last file to match this regex?

       usually without needing to know which versions of perl to use as start and end revisions, as
       bisect.pl automatically searches to find the earliest stable version for which the test case passes.
       Run "Porting/bisect.pl --help" for the full documentation, including how to set the "Configure" and
       build time options.

       If you require more flexibility than Porting/bisect.pl has to offer, you'll need to run "git bisect"
       yourself. It's most useful to use "git bisect run" to automate the building and testing of perl
       revisions. For this you'll need a shell script for "git" to call to test a particular revision. An
       example script is Porting/bisect-example.sh, which you should copy outside of the repository, as the
       bisect process will reset the state to a clean checkout as it runs. The instructions below assume
       that you copied it as ~/run and then edited it as appropriate.

       You first enter in bisect mode with:

         % git bisect start

       For example, if the bug is present on "HEAD" but wasn't in 5.10.0, "git" will learn about this when
       you enter:

         % git bisect bad
         % git bisect good perl-5.10.0
         Bisecting: 853 revisions left to test after this

       This results in checking out the median commit between "HEAD" and "perl-5.10.0". You can then run the
       bisecting process with:

         % git bisect run ~/run

       When the first bad commit is isolated, "git bisect" will tell you so:

         ca4cfd28534303b82a216cfe83a1c80cbc3b9dc5 is first bad commit
         commit ca4cfd28534303b82a216cfe83a1c80cbc3b9dc5
         Author: Dave Mitchell <davem@fdisolutions.com>
         Date:   Sat Feb 9 14:56:23 2008 +0000

             [perl #49472] Attributes + Unknown Error
             ...

         bisect run success

       You can peek into the bisecting process with "git bisect log" and "git bisect visualize". "git bisect
       reset" will get you out of bisect mode.

       Please note that the first "good" state must be an ancestor of the first "bad" state. If you want to
       search for the commit that solved some bug, you have to negate your test case (i.e. exit with 1 if OK
       and 0 if not) and still mark the lower bound as "good" and the upper as "bad". The "first bad commit"
       has then to be understood as the "first commit where the bug is solved".

       "git help bisect" has much more information on how you can tweak your binary searches.

Topic branches and rewriting history
       Individual committers should create topic branches under yourname/some_descriptive_name. Other
       committers should check with a topic branch's creator before making any change to it.

       The simplest way to create a remote topic branch that works on all versions of git is to push the
       current head as a new branch on the remote, then check it out locally:

         $ branch="$yourname/$some_descriptive_name"
         $ git push origin HEAD:$branch
         $ git checkout -b $branch origin/$branch

       Users of git 1.7 or newer can do it in a more obvious manner:

         $ branch="$yourname/$some_descriptive_name"
         $ git checkout -b $branch
         $ git push origin -u $branch

       If you are not the creator of yourname/some_descriptive_name, you might sometimes find that the
       original author has edited the branch's history. There are lots of good reasons for this. Sometimes,
       an author might simply be rebasing the branch onto a newer source point.  Sometimes, an author might
       have found an error in an early commit which they wanted to fix before merging the branch to blead.

       Currently the master repository is configured to forbid non-fast-forward merges. This means that the
       branches within can not be rebased and pushed as a single step.

       The only way you will ever be allowed to rebase or modify the history of a pushed branch is to delete
       it and push it as a new branch under the same name. Please think carefully about doing this. It may
       be better to sequentially rename your branches so that it is easier for others working with you to
       cherry-pick their local changes onto the new version. (XXX: needs explanation).

       If you want to rebase a personal topic branch, you will have to delete your existing topic branch and
       push as a new version of it. You can do this via the following formula (see the explanation about
       "refspec"'s in the git push documentation for details) after you have rebased your branch:

          # first rebase
          $ git checkout $user/$topic
          $ git fetch
          $ git rebase origin/blead

          # then "delete-and-push"
          $ git push origin :$user/$topic
          $ git push origin $user/$topic

       NOTE: it is forbidden at the repository level to delete any of the "primary" branches. That is any
       branch matching "m!^(blead|maint|perl)!". Any attempt to do so will result in git producing an error
       like this:

           $ git push origin :blead
           *** It is forbidden to delete blead/maint branches in this repository
           error: hooks/update exited with error code 1
           error: hook declined to update refs/heads/blead
           To ssh://perl5.git.perl.org/perl
            ! [remote rejected] blead (hook declined)
            error: failed to push some refs to 'ssh://perl5.git.perl.org/perl'

       As a matter of policy we do not edit the history of the blead and maint-* branches. If a typo (or
       worse) sneaks into a commit to blead or maint-*, we'll fix it in another commit. The only types of
       updates allowed on these branches are "fast-forward's", where all history is preserved.

       Annotated tags in the canonical perl.git repository will never be deleted or modified. Think long and
       hard about whether you want to push a local tag to perl.git before doing so. (Pushing unannotated
       tags is not allowed.)

   Grafts
       The perl history contains one mistake which was not caught in the conversion: a merge was recorded in
       the history between blead and maint-5.10 where no merge actually occurred. Due to the nature of git,
       this is now impossible to fix in the public repository. You can remove this mis-merge locally by
       adding the following line to your ".git/info/grafts" file:

         296f12bbbbaa06de9be9d09d3dcf8f4528898a49 434946e0cb7a32589ed92d18008aaa1d88515930

       It is particularly important to have this graft line if any bisecting is done in the area of the
       "merge" in question.

WRITE ACCESS TO THE GIT REPOSITORY
       Once you have write access, you will need to modify the URL for the origin remote to enable pushing.
       Edit .git/config with the git-config(1) command:

         % git config remote.origin.url ssh://perl5.git.perl.org/perl.git

       You can also set up your user name and e-mail address. Most people do this once globally in their
       ~/.gitconfig by doing something like:

         % git config --global user.name "var Arnfjoerd Bjarmason"
         % git config --global user.email avarab@gmail.com

       However if you'd like to override that just for perl then execute then execute something like the
       following in perl:

         % git config user.email avar@cpan.org

       It is also possible to keep "origin" as a git remote, and add a new remote for ssh access:

         % git remote add camel perl5.git.perl.org:/perl.git

       This allows you to update your local repository by pulling from "origin", which is faster and doesn't
       require you to authenticate, and to push your changes back with the "camel" remote:

         % git fetch camel
         % git push camel

       The "fetch" command just updates the "camel" refs, as the objects themselves should have been fetched
       when pulling from "origin".

Accepting a patch
       If you have received a patch file generated using the above section, you should try out the patch.

       First we need to create a temporary new branch for these changes and switch into it:

         % git checkout -b experimental

       Patches that were formatted by "git format-patch" are applied with "git am":

         % git am 0001-Rename-Leon-Brocard-to-Orange-Brocard.patch
         Applying Rename Leon Brocard to Orange Brocard

       If just a raw diff is provided, it is also possible use this two-step process:

         % git apply bugfix.diff
         % git commit -a -m "Some fixing" --author="That Guy <that.guy@internets.com>"

       Now we can inspect the change:

         % git show HEAD
         commit b1b3dab48344cff6de4087efca3dbd63548ab5e2
         Author: Leon Brocard <acme@astray.com>
         Date:   Fri Dec 19 17:02:59 2008 +0000

           Rename Leon Brocard to Orange Brocard

       If you are a committer to Perl and you think the patch is good, you can then merge it into blead then
       push it out to the main repository:

         % git checkout blead
         % git merge experimental
         % git push

       If you want to delete your temporary branch, you may do so with:

         % git checkout blead
         % git branch -d experimental
         error: The branch 'experimental' is not an ancestor of your current HEAD.
         If you are sure you want to delete it, run 'git branch -D experimental'.
         % git branch -D experimental
         Deleted branch experimental.

   Committing to blead
       The 'blead' branch will become the next production release of Perl.

       Before pushing any local change to blead, it's incredibly important that you do a few things, lest
       other committers come after you with pitchforks and torches:

       •   Make sure you have a good commit message. See "Commit message" in perlhack for details.

       •   Run the test suite. You might not think that one typo fix would break a test file. You'd be
           wrong. Here's an example of where not running the suite caused problems. A patch was submitted
           that added a couple of tests to an existing .t. It couldn't possibly affect anything else, so no
           need to test beyond the single affected .t, right?  But, the submitter's email address had
           changed since the last of their submissions, and this caused other tests to fail. Running the
           test target given in the next item would have caught this problem.

       •   If you don't run the full test suite, at least "make test_porting".  This will run basic sanity
           checks. To see which sanity checks, have a look in t/porting.

       •   If you make any changes that affect miniperl or core routines that have different code paths for
           miniperl, be sure to run "make minitest".  This will catch problems that even the full test suite
           will not catch because it runs a subset of tests under miniperl rather than perl.

       On merging and rebasing

       Simple, one-off commits pushed to the 'blead' branch should be simple commits that apply cleanly.  In
       other words, you should make sure your work is committed against the current position of blead, so
       that you can push back to the master repository without merging.

       Sometimes, blead will move while you're building or testing your changes.  When this happens, your
       push will be rejected with a message like this:

         To ssh://perl5.git.perl.org/perl.git
          ! [rejected]        blead -> blead (non-fast-forward)
         error: failed to push some refs to 'ssh://perl5.git.perl.org/perl.git'
         To prevent you from losing history, non-fast-forward updates were rejected
         Merge the remote changes (e.g. 'git pull') before pushing again.  See the
         'Note about fast-forwards' section of 'git push --help' for details.

       When this happens, you can just rebase your work against the new position of blead, like this
       (assuming your remote for the master repository is "p5p"):

         $ git fetch p5p
         $ git rebase p5p/blead

       You will see your commits being re-applied, and you will then be able to push safely.  More
       information about rebasing can be found in the documentation for the git-rebase(1) command.

       For larger sets of commits that only make sense together, or that would benefit from a summary of the
       set's purpose, you should use a merge commit.  You should perform your work on a topic branch, which
       you should regularly rebase against blead to ensure that your code is not broken by blead moving.
       When you have finished your work, please perform a final rebase and test.  Linear history is
       something that gets lost with every commit on blead, but a final rebase makes the history linear
       again, making it easier for future maintainers to see what has happened.  Rebase as follows (assuming
       your work was on the branch "committer/somework"):

         $ git checkout committer/somework
         $ git rebase blead

       Then you can merge it into master like this:

         $ git checkout blead
         $ git merge --no-ff --no-commit committer/somework
         $ git commit -a

       The switches above deserve explanation.  "--no-ff" indicates that even if all your work can be
       applied linearly against blead, a merge commit should still be prepared.  This ensures that all your
       work will be shown as a side branch, with all its commits merged into the mainstream blead by the
       merge commit.

       "--no-commit" means that the merge commit will be prepared but not committed.  The commit is then
       actually performed when you run the next command, which will bring up your editor to describe the
       commit.  Without "--no-commit", the commit would be made with nearly no useful message, which would
       greatly diminish the value of the merge commit as a placeholder for the work's description.

       When describing the merge commit, explain the purpose of the branch, and keep in mind that this
       description will probably be used by the eventual release engineer when reviewing the next perldelta
       document.

   Committing to maintenance versions
       Maintenance versions should only be altered to add critical bug fixes, see perlpolicy.

       To commit to a maintenance version of perl, you need to create a local tracking branch:

         % git checkout --track -b maint-5.005 origin/maint-5.005

       This creates a local branch named "maint-5.005", which tracks the remote branch "origin/maint-5.005".
       Then you can pull, commit, merge and push as before.

       You can also cherry-pick commits from blead and another branch, by using the "git cherry-pick"
       command. It is recommended to use the -x option to "git cherry-pick" in order to record the SHA1 of
       the original commit in the new commit message.

       Before pushing any change to a maint version, make sure you've satisfied the steps in "Committing to
       blead" above.

   Merging from a branch via GitHub
       While we don't encourage the submission of patches via GitHub, that will still happen. Here is a
       guide to merging patches from a GitHub repository.

         % git remote add avar git://github.com/avar/perl.git
         % git fetch avar

       Now you can see the differences between the branch and blead:

         % git diff avar/orange

       And you can see the commits:

         % git log avar/orange

       If you approve of a specific commit, you can cherry pick it:

         % git cherry-pick 0c24b290ae02b2ab3304f51d5e11e85eb3659eae

       Or you could just merge the whole branch if you like it all:

         % git merge avar/orange

       And then push back to the repository:

         % git push

   A note on camel and dromedary
       The committers have SSH access to the two servers that serve "perl5.git.perl.org". One is
       "perl5.git.perl.org" itself (camel), which is the 'master' repository. The second one is
       "users.perl5.git.perl.org" (dromedary), which can be used for general testing and development.
       Dromedary syncs the git tree from camel every few minutes, you should not push there. Both machines
       also have a full CPAN mirror in /srv/CPAN, please use this. To share files with the general public,
       dromedary serves your ~/public_html/ as "http://users.perl5.git.perl.org/~yourlogin/"

       These hosts have fairly strict firewalls to the outside. Outgoing, only rsync, ssh and git are
       allowed. For http and ftp, you can use http://webproxy:3128 as proxy. Incoming, the firewall tries to
       detect attacks and blocks IP addresses with suspicious activity. This sometimes (but very rarely) has
       false positives and you might get blocked. The quickest way to get unblocked is to notify the admins.

       These two boxes are owned, hosted, and operated by booking.com. You can reach the sysadmins in #p5p
       on irc.perl.org or via mail to "perl5-porters@perl.org".
