RTEMS GIT Repository

RTEMS project's revision control tool is Git and the git repositories can be located at http://git.rtems.org/.

Why git?

Git is a distributed revision control system with an emphasis on speed and data safety. With git revision control system each user has a full featured copy of the main repository. Each revision control operation is done in the local repository and can be later shared using patches or by direct push to the main repository.

Bootstrapping RTEMS after a Git clone or pull

RTEMS uses Automake for Makefile generation (uses Makefile.am and preinstall.am files) and Autoconf for configuration (uses configure.ac files). Both tools generate files which are not contained in the Git repository. You need to generate them after a clone or pull. This file generation is performed by the bootstrap script in the top level RTEMS directory.

RTEMS Git Server

RTEMS has a dedicated Git server. The machine runs cgit to provide a web interface to Git, the Git protocol for direct read-only access and ssh accounts for those with commit access. The configuration is standard with the only hook currently used to send commit details to the rtems-vc@rtems.org mailing list.

Git Access for Users

The Git Users page has public read-only access instructions, some useful git commands, and directions on how to submit patches to RTEMS.

Git Access for Committers

The Git Committers page has policies and procedures for committers to make changes to the RTEMS repositories.
