<<TODO: describe a Linux client set-up for Git and git-review>>

To install git-review on Linux (Ubuntu), type the following command.

sudo apt-get install git-review

Windows Setup

Note: The DCAE and SDC  repo will not fully clone in a windows environment (even git-bash) until some file paths are reduced below 255 chars - 

Enabling long paths in windows - thanks Michael Lando

Installing Git

To install Git on your client, visit: https://www.atlassian.com/git/tutorials/install-git, and download the appropriate installation image for your host. Once downloaded, execute the installation script ("open" the .msi file).

During installation, you will see the following dialog box.  Include the "Git Bash" and "Git GUI" components (this is the default).To do this, leave the following boxes checked:

Image Removed

If you intend to type Git commands from the Windows Command Prompt, leave the default setting for adjusting the PATH environment:

Image Removed

The repositories use Unix-style line-feed for line termination, so on your windows Git client, select the conversion option:

Image Removed

Select the following option based on your own preference (non-default shown, so 'winpty' is not required):

Image Removed

Choose the defaults here:

The installer lets you choose the experimental 'difftool'; either choice will work. Continue with the installation dialogs until the installation is complete.

Install Python on Windows (optional)

Not all components require Python for development. See the documentation for your component in the Development Guides section. (Note: the "node-gyp" tool requires Python.)

Download Python version 2.7.10:

Not all components require Python for development. See the documentation for your component in the Development Guides section. (Note: the "node-gyp" tool requires Python.)

Download Python version 2.7.10:

1. • 32-bit: https://www.python.org/ftp/python/2.7.10/python-2.7.10.msi
   • 64-bit: https://www.python.org/ftp/python/2.7.10/python-2.7.10.amd64.msi

Execute the install file that you just downloaded. (You must have administrative privileges.) During installation, select "Add python.exe to Path", overriding the default setting. Also, be sure to install "pip" (this is the default).

Continue with the installation until it is completed.

Set up Git review and Configure Git

Run Git Bash as Administrator (for example, in Windows 10, use the Windows menu, scroll to the Git directory, right-click on Git-bash, and select "Run as administrator":

Image Added

Within Git Bash, type the following command:

$ pip install git-review

To use git review, you have to be in a Git clone directory that already contains a (possibly hidden) .gitreview configuration file (see Gerrit/Advanced usage#Setting up a repository for git-remote), otherwise you will get the error message UnboundLocalError: local variable 'no_git_dir' referenced before assignment.

Configure Git to remember your Linux Foundation user name and email address (the user name and email address associated with your Linux Foundation login):

git config --global user.email <your_LF_account_email>

git config --global --add gitreview.username <your_LF_user_name>

If you are using VPN, you might encounter a proxy problem while connecting to the Linux Foundation website. To avoid the problem, you should add the proxy setting in git config, using the following command:

git config --global https.proxy https://<proxy username>:<proxy password>@<proxy url> 

git config --global http.proxy http://<proxy username>:<proxy password>@<proxy url>

NOTE: When entering the proxy username, you might be required to add the domain name in front of the username.

Install Putty and Generate Keys

PuTTY is a terminal emulator that uses Secure SHell (SSH) to communicate with a host. You need to install PuTTY in order to create a public/private encryption key pair. This pair of keys enables Git to communicate securely with the repositories.

To install PuTTY, visit, www.putty.org and follow the links to the appropriate Windows installation for your machine (32-bit or 64 bit). The downloaded file will be named putty-0.67-installer.msi or the like.

Execute the .msi file. Use all the default settings, thereby ensuring that you will install pageant.exe, plink.exe, and puttygen.exe.

Generate Public and Private Keys

OSX

Windows

The puttygen utility, installed with putty, generates public and private keys used for secure communication with Gerrit.

To do this, right-click on C:\Program Files (x86)\PuTTY\puttygen.exe and select Run as Administrator:

Image Added

Answer "Yes" to the User Account Control challenge. Then click the "Generate" button in the puttygen window. puttygen will ask you to move your mouse over its dialog box to generate random seed bits. After it has computed a public key, it will display a dialog box resembling the following:

Image Added

If you want to edit this key pair in the future, create a text file containing a short phrase, called a "passphrase". Copy and paste this passphrase into the "Key passphrase" and "Confirm passphrase" lines, then select "Save public key" and choose a filename (e.g. public.txt); also "Save private key" and choose another filename (e.g. private.ppk). Since you ran puttygen as Administrator, the files are visible to Windows Explorer.

Close puttygen.

Load Your Private Key Into Pageant

Pageant is an SSH authentication agent. It holds your private keys in memory, already decoded, so that you can use them often without needing to type a passphrase.

To load your private key into pageant, right-click on the private key file (e.g. private.ppk in this example), and select Load into pageant:

Image Added

This action not only loads private.ppk into pageant, but also starts pageant if it is not already running. You will be prompted for the passphrase that you entered into puttygen when you created the key. If successful, pageant will load the key without further interaction.

Set the GIT_SSH Environment Variable

From the Desktop, right-click the Windows logo at the very bottom left corner of the screen, Image Added , and select "System". Within the System dialog box, select "Advanced system settings" to get the Power User Task Menu.

In the next dialog box, select "Environment Variables":

If you don't already have a GIT_SSH entry in your System Variables list, click "New..." and create GIT_SSH, defined to be the location of plink.exe :

Image Added

Copy/paste the known_hosts entries listed, into a file named known_hosts under your .ssh profile (something like C:\Users\<my-id>\.ssh) (if known_hosts does not exist, create it).

Execute the install file that you just downloaded. (You must have administrative privileges.) During installation, select "Add python.exe to Path", overriding the default setting. Also, be sure to install "pip" (this is the default).
