[egit-dev] Antw: RE: set configuration, when cloning a repository

["Stefan Rademacher" <Rademacher@xxxxxxx>]

Hi Stefan,

 

I filed Bug 367075, as you suggested.

It would be great, if the automatic configuration of new clones could be implemented, together with the changes for Bug 361251.

 

In our specific situation, it is not necessary for the developers to overwrite the configuration settings in the clone wizard. But generally, it might make sense to have this opportunity.

 

Thank you and best regards

Stefan

Hi Stefan,

we are currently working at a related scenario (Bug 361251) where we want to allow to search for repositories before cloning. We add an extension point to include a search on specific servers hosting git repositories. At the same time extenders could add repository configuration which is done automatically after clone. For example, if the repo is on a Gerrit server we want to automatically configure “HEAD:refs/for/master” as push refspec.

We should discuss how your scenario fits into the proposed one. I think it is a good idea to add such a thing as an automatic configuration. Do you think it would be necessary that the user can overwrite the configuration settings from the preferences in the clone wizard?

Could you please open a feature request for this (https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/enter_bug.cgi?product=EGit, severity enhancement)?

Best Regards,

Stefan

Subject: [egit-dev] set configuration, when cloning a repository

 

Hi all,

 

in our company, we would like to make it easy for developers to clone/configure repositories in one step. For example, every developer currently needs to manually customize the push refspec (remote.<name>.push) of a clone, to be compliant to our internal process.

Are there any plans in EGit to support "git config ..." steps in the "Clone a Git Repository..." wizard? This would be especially helpful, if the wizard could suggest default configuration, which we would like to provide as Eclipse preferences (e. g. with Google workspace mechanic).

 

Thanks a lot in advance!

Regards

Stefan
