Don't try to update it -yourself. `git-next` will update the `next` it as it sees fit. - -## Getting Started - -To use `git-next` for trunk-based development, follow these steps: - -### Initialise the repo (optional) - -You need to specify which branches you are using. You can do this in the repo, -or in the server configuration. - -To create a default config file for the repo, run this command in the root of -your repo: - -```shell -git next init -``` - -This will create a `.git-next.toml` file. [Default](./crates/cli/default.toml) - -By default the expected branches are `main`, `next` and `dev`. Each of these -three branches _must_ exist in your repo. - -### Initialise the server - -The server uses the file `git-next-server.toml` for configuration. It expects -to find this file the the current directory when executed. - -The create the default config file, run this command: - -```shell -git next server init -``` - -This will create a `git-next-server.toml` file. [Default](./crates/server/server-default.toml) - -Edit this file to your needs. See the [Configuration](#configuration) section above. - -### Run the server - -In the directory with your `git-next-server.toml` file, run the command: - -```shell -git next server start -``` - -### Forges - -The following forges are supported: - -- [ForgeJo](https://forgejo.org) (probably compatible with Gitea, but not tested) -- [GitHub](https://github.com/) - -Note: ForgeJo is a hard fork of Gitea, but currently they are largely compatible. -For now using a `forge_type` of `ForgeJo` with a Gitea instance will probably work -okay. The only API calls we make are around registering and unregistering webhooks. -So, as long as those APIs remain the same, they should be compatible. - -#### ForgeJo - -Configure the forge in `git-next-server.toml` like: - -```toml -[forge.jo] -forge_type = "ForgeJo" -hostname = "git.myforgejo.com" -user = "bob" -token = "..." - -[forge.jo.repos] -hello = { repo = "user/hello", branch = "main", gitdir = "/opt/git/projects/user/hello.git" } # maps to https://git.example.net/user/hello on the branch 'main' -world = { repo = "user/world", branch = "master", main = "master", next = "upcoming", "dev" = "develop" } # maps to the 'master' branch -``` - -The token is created on your ForgeJo instance at (for example) -`https://git.myforgejo.com/user/settings/applications` -and requires the `write:repository` permission. - -#### GitHub - -Configure the forge in `git-next-server.toml` like: - -```toml -[forge.gh] -forge_type = "GitHub" -hostname = "github.com" # required even for GitHub -user = "bob" -token = "..." - -[forge.gh.repos] -hello = { repo = "user/hello", branch = "main", gitdir = "/opt/git/projects/user/hello.git" } # maps to https://github.com/user/hello on the branch 'main' -world = { repo = "user/world", branch = "master", main = "master", next = "upcoming", "dev" = "develop" } # maps to the 'master' branch -``` - -The token is created [here](https://github.com/settings/tokens/new) and requires the `repo` and `admin:repo_hook` permissions. - -## Contributing - -Contributions to `git-next` are welcome!
