This page contains instructions on how to configure the Crucible Git plugin to access Git repositories.

Usage

The Git plugin is an early-access implementation of a Crucible SCM plugin for Git. It allows users to perform code reviews on a local Git repository (local to the Crucible server). The plugin does not 'pull' updates from a remote master repository. Synchronising with the master repository needs to be executed manually (via the command line), for the changes to appear in the plugin.

Installation

The plugin is installed by placing the .JAR file in the FISHEYE_INST/var/plugins/user directory of your Crucible install. Once installed, you need to enable the plugin in the Crucible Admin interface. Detailed instructions on the plugin installation steps can be found at the Managing Plugins page.

The plugin requires the Git command to be available in the system path when starting Crucible.

Configuring the plugin

Once the plugin has been installed, under the 'Administration' - 'Repository List' option, there should be a 'Plugin Repository List: Git' entry. Select 'Configure Plugin', then 'Add a repository'. The fields required are:

Field Description
Name The name for the repository eg. Project
Repository Path The location of the local Git repository clone

Once configured, the Git repository can be selected as the review source when creating a new review, whereupon reviews can be created either using changesets or by selecting files in the repository view.

Feedback

If you have any feedback on this plugin and its operation, we would appreciate users posting feedback in the Crucible Forums.
