Process

Environment

Before starting make sure you have:

  • git
  • bash
  • bundler
  • docker
  • gawk
  • gnupg (or gnupg2)
  • ruby
  • sha256sum
  • shellcheck
  • test-kitchen

Only required if dealing with manuals, gh-pages or releases:

  • ruby, ruby-dev

Getting started

  1. Create your own or pick an opened issue from the tracker. Take a look at the help-wanted tag
  2. Fork and clone your repository: git clone https://github.com/${YOUR_NAME}/git-secret.git
  3. Make sure that everything works on the current platform by running make test
  4. Run local CI tests to verify functionality on supported platforms bundle exec kitchen verify --test-base-path="$PWD/.ci/integration".

Development Process

  1. Firstly, you will need to setup development hooks with make install-hooks
  2. Make changes to the files that need to be changed
  3. When making changes to any files inside src/ you will need to rebuild the binary git-secret with make clean && make build command
  4. Run shellcheck against all your changes with make lint
  5. Now, add all your files to the commit with git add --all and commit changes with git commit, make sure you write a good message, which will explain your work
  6. When running git commit the tests will run automatically, your commit will be canceled if they fail
  7. Push to your repository, make a pull-request against develop branch. Please, make sure you have one commit per pull-request, it will be merge into one anyways

Branches

We have three long-live branches: master, develop and gh-pages for static site.

It basically looks like that:

your-branch -> develop -> master

  • master branch is protected. So only fully tested code goes there. It is also used to create a new git tag and a github release
  • develop is where the development is done and the branch you should send your pull-requests to

Continuous integration

Local CI is done with the help test-kitchen. test-kitchen handles multiple test-suites on various platforms. bundle exec kitchen list will output the list of test suites to be run aginst supported platforms.

Cloud CI is done with the help of travis. travis handles multiple environments:

  • Docker-based jobs or so-called 'integration tests', these tests create a local release, install it with the package manager and then run unit-tests and system checks
  • OSX jobs, which handle basic unit-tests on OSX
  • Native travis jobs, which handle basic unit-tests and stylechecks

Running local ci-tests

  1. Install requied gems with bundle install.
  2. Run ci-tests with bundle exec kitchen verify --test-base-path="$PWD/.ci/integration"

Release process

The release process is defined in the git-hooks and .travis.yml.

When creating a commit inside the master branch (it is usually a documentation and changelog update with the version bump inside src/version.sh) it will trigger two main events.

Firstly, new manuals will be created and added to the current commit with make build-man on pre-commit hook.

Secondly, after the commit is successfully created it will also trigger make build-gh-pages target on post-commit hook, which will push new manuals to the git-secret site. And the new git tag will be automatically created if the version is changed:

if [[ "$NEWEST_TAG" != "v${SCRIPT_VERSION}" ]]; then
  git tag -a "v${SCRIPT_VERSION}" -m "version $SCRIPT_VERSION"
fi

Travis releases

When creating a commit inside master branch, travis on successful build will publish new deb and rpm packages to bintray.

If you wish to override a previous release (be careful) you will need to add "override": 1 into matrixParams, see deb-deploy.sh and rpm-deploy.sh

Manual releases

Releases to brew are made manually.

Dockerhub releases

Dockerhub contains Docker images with different OS'es used for testing. It is updated via a github webhook on commit into master.
