h1. Repositories {{>toc}} h2. General information Redmine natively supports integration with different SCM-tools: SCM: "Subversion":http://subversion.tigris.org/, "CVS":http://www.nongnu.org/cvs/, "Mercurial":http://www.selenic.com/mercurial/, "Darcs":http://darcs.net/, "Git":http://git.or.cz, and "Bazaar":http://bazaar-vcs.org/. Note that you need to install the appropriate binaries on your Redmine host and make sure that these binaries are available availble in the @PATH@ PATH environment variable: |*SCM*|*Tested with*|*Comments*| |Subversion|1.3 & 1.4 & 1.5 & 1.6|1.3 or higher required| |CVS|1.12.12|1.12 required, won't work with CVSNT| |Mercurial|0.9.3| | |Bazaar|1.0.0.candidate.1| | |Darcs|1.0.7|| |Git|1.5.4.2|| For example, exemple, if you want to access Subversion repositories in Redmine, you'll have to install the svn binaries on the Redmine host. Redmine currently doesn't make use of the Ruby Bindings for Subversion. h2. Attaching an existing repository to a project In the project settings, make sure that the 'Repository' module is enabled and go to the 'Repository' tab. Select the SCM that corresponds to your repository and enter the path or URL of your repository. *Important*: When you first browse the repository, Redmine retrieves the description of all of the existing commits and stores them in the database. This is done only once per repository but can very long (or even time out) if your repository has hundreds of commits. To avoid this, you can do it offline. After having your repository declared in Redmine, run the following command: <pre> $ ruby script/runner "Repository.fetch_changesets" -e production </pre> All commits will be retrieved in the Redmine database. h3. Subversion repository The usual Usual protocols are supported (eg. @http:@, @svn:@, @file:@), just enter the URL of the repository. For example: Example: <pre> http://host/path/to/the/repository </pre> You can specify a username and password if the repository requires authentication. Note: if you want to access the repository using @svn+ssh://@, you'll have to configure svn+ssh to be non-interactive. This requires to setup a public/private key pair for ssh authentication. h3. CVS repository Enter: * the URL of the repository (it can be either a path or a connection string, eg. @:pserver@). * the module name For example: <pre> Example: :pserver:login:password@host:/path/to/the/repository </pre> h3. h4. Git repository h4. Local environment setup Redmine requires request a *bare* and *local* repository to enable browsing through Redmine. browsering. Imagine you want to browse the to-do list manager project "Donebox": it's Donebox: its clone URL is @git://github.com/ook/donebox.git@. git://github.com/ook/donebox.git On the server where you're running Redmine, redmine, create a directory accessible by the user running your Redmine redmine server: <pre> $ sudo mkdir -p /var/redmine/git_repositories $ sudo chown rails:rails /var/redmine/git_repositories $ cd /var/redmine/git_repositories </pre> Note the second line: it changes change the ownership owner of the newly created directory to the user @rails@ and the rails, group @rails@. rails. Of course, you have to replace it according to your server settings (it can be @www-data@, @apache@ www-data or when you are having a for very bad sysadmin: @root@). root). Keep in mind that this user needs to have the (local-)permissions to be able to run the @git@ _git_ command. h4. Create the bare repository After the preceding steps have been taken Now it is time to create our bare repository: <pre> $ pwd /var/redmine/git_repositories $ git clone --bare git://github.com/ook/donebox.git Initialized empty Git repository in /var/redmine/git_repositories/donebox/ remote: Counting objects: 401, done. remote: Compressing objects: 100% (246/246), done. remote: Total 401 (delta 134), reused 401 (delta 134) Receiving objects: 100% (401/401), 179.55 KiB | 185 KiB/s, done. Resolving deltas: 100% (134/134), done. </pre> Our bare repository is now created successfully! Now You're done! Just go to your Redmine redmine project settings, go to setting tab, under the repositories tab and choose @git@ as the SCM, git, then put in the "Path to .git directory" (in our example this is @/var/redmine/git_repositories/donebox/@) and save the settings. */var/redmine/git_repositories/donebox/*. Save. Have a look to your repository tab: you should now be able to can browse your repository successfully. it. Note: of course, this git repository won't update by itself. You'll have to @git pull@ git pull it regulary by hand or set up a cron job which will execute the @git pull@-command automatically do it for you. h3. Mercurial repository TBD h3.
