Working with Git Repositories

Background

• repos are stored in KV, under /app/git
• owned by user vs owned by team

Procedures

• create repo
  • foks git create
  • If content doesn't exist yet
    • git init
  • Either way
    • git remote add
    • git commit if needed (repo must contain at least one commit before push)
    • git push --all
    • git push --tags
• clone a repo
  • git clone foks://SERVER/OWNER/REPONAME
• remove a repo
  • foks kv rm -r /app/git/REPONAME
• other operations (pull, push, etc.) all use the same git commands you would use for other git servers

Questions

• primary branch name
  • does git "server" assume a certain branch name (master, main, etc.) or does it use the name of the first branch pushed into?
  • command to set primary branch name, or brain surgery?
• LFS support
