Prerequisite

AFI & BIBLIBRE developpment teams use the opensource forge libre GitLab and theSCM Git. Ce document décrit l'utilisation minimale nécessaire de ces deux outils pour pouvoir contribuer au code des projets maintenus par AFI et Biblibre. Néanmoins nous vous invitons à lire le livre Pro Git.

Source code are hosted on https://git.afi-sa.fr. Public projects are accessible here https://git.afi-sa.fr/public.

Create your own copy of the project

Create a gitlab account

From the Sign Up page, you can create your account. You will receive a confirmation email.

Clone the project

Once connected, from the OPACCE project page, clic on the Fork repository button. You can also clone the project here.

This will create your own public copy of the project accessible through http://git.afi-sa.fr/my-account/opacce.

The SSH access is given from your project home page. for example git@git.afi-sa.fr:my_account/opacce.git

Installing SSH access

In order to upload modifications on the gitlab you need SSH access. On Your account page, in the SSH Keys tab, use the link Add SSH Key.

Create & register your key

If you already have a key on your workstation in ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub, copy it.

otherwise, generate a key , with the following command:

ssh-keygen -t rsa -C "addresse_email@domaine.ext"

to show the content:

cat ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub

configure SSH access

SS access uses 2950 port. Create or modify the ~/.ssh/config file to add the following lines:

Host git.afi-sa.fr
  Hostname git.afi-sa.fr
  Port 2950
  User git
  IdentityFile ~/.ssh/id_rsa

How to contribute to the source code

Install your own copy of the project

The install process is described Installation instructions, unlike described in the Downloading source code section, you should use your own depository:

cd /var/www
git clone git@git.afi-sa.fr:mon_compte/opacce.git

Update files and push them to gitlab

Once your done with your udpates, the file upload is done in two steps.

1. Commit your modifications locally

git commit -a -m "Commentaires des modifications"

2. Push your master branch to gitlab (origin):

git push origin master

For more details please check Pro Git

Propose patches to the release team

On your private GitLab page, Merge Requests tab, clic on the link + New Merge Request and fill the form to describe your patch.

retrieve the last official release

Declate the official version depository (upstream) in your local project:

git remote add upstream git@git.afi-sa.fr:afi/opacce.git

Merge modifications:

# Download all modification from the master project
git fetch upstream master
# Merge the modifications in your local project
git merge upstream/master
# Push the result on the depository
git push origin master

Create a new skin

Create

Go to the skin directory in the root folder and duplicate it

cd skins
cp -a ../public/opac/skins/modele mon_skin

Go the the profil config page in the opac back office, you should see your skin in the combo.

Save you skin on GitLab

Create a project on GitLab to store the sourcecode. For exemple https://git.afi-sa.fr/mon_compte/mon_skin.

Go to my_skin and initialise the depository:
