ManageAllAdminScriptsWithGit

• The admin scripts are managed by Git
• They should be mounted on all machines managed by quattor in /scripts

Git Workflow

Adding/Modifying the scripts from your computer

1. Request an account from git admins
2. add your ssh key to your profile
3. Do an git clone git@git.iihe.ac.be:iihe-scripts.git to download the content of iihe-scripts locally
4. Change the branch name git branch -m CurrentBranch BranchImWorkingOn. The branch name should reflect what you plan on doing. Never use directly the master branch !!
   You can check this worked with git branch -ra that lists local & remote branches.
5. Make your new scripts or modifications
6. If you made new files/directories, prepare them for atomic commit: git add -N myfile
7. Select the chunks of code you want to commit: git add -p , (explanations of letters here). Be as small and precise as possible for each commits.
8. If you want to revert the adding chunks to the index you just did : git reset -p
9. Do the commit for the chunks you selected git commit -m"short message" [-m"long message"]. The long message is optional.
10. To list the last commits git log -NumberOfCommits
11. Last, you need to push the local changes to the remote server : git push origin BranchImWorkingOn
12. Make a merge request on the git site:

# Atomic commit (by hunks):

git add -p
  y - indexer cette partie
  n - ne pas indexer cette partie
  a - indexer cette partie et toutes celles restantes dans ce fichier
  d - ne pas indexer cette partie ni aucune de celles restantes dans ce fichier
  g - sélectionner une partie à voir

git diff HEAD     ==> local / repo
git diff --cached ==> index / repo

git log -3  ==> lists commit

# Pushing
git push origin newbranch   ==> pushes local branch to repo & creates new repo branch

Adding /scripts to a machine and getting access to it

• You need to mount with nfs (or autofs) the /storage of tesla
• Then create a symlink from /storage_mnt/storage/group/admin/iihe-scripts to /scripts
• Or you can just include the template in config/nfs/storage in your machine, which does all this.
• It is in read-only for non-root users of the admins group, so you cannot make any modifications there.
• If you want access as non-root user, you need to add yourself in freeipa [accessible through tunnel only] to the admins group.
