Gerrit 3.1 gitblit plugin

[Ansgar Binninger]

Hi,

I have a short question regarding the Gerrit gitblit plugin. Is the plugin compatible with Gerrit 3.1.x and if not, are there any plans to update?

If it is compatible, am I able to use the jar build by the Gerrit CI or does I have to build it by myself, because I am not able to get the configuration part in the init phase with the jar from the Jenkins master build.

I think a more detailed documentation at the plugin would help other people too.

Thank you,

best regards

Ansgar

In 3.1 the gitiles plugin is a core plugin [1] and is contained in the gerrit.war file. You can install it using

the gerrit init installtion command.

I don't think anyone is maintaining this plugin, and there isn't a specific build of it for any of the stable branches.

The master build *might* work with stable-3.1 but I'm afraid the only way to find out for sure is to try it.  If it doesn't work, you'd have to try to build it from source against the 3.1.x API and fix any issues.

As Matthias pointed out in another reply, the gitiles plugin is now included as a core plugin in 3.1.x so if you're looking for a code browser you might want to consider that instead of gitblit.

Thanks you both for the answer. i am aware of the other plugin. we have this already enabled, just try out some new plugins ;)

I am running now the other gitblit plugin by https://github.com/tomaswolf/gerrit-gitblit-plugin

maybe the plugin maintainer from the original one will fix the gerrit plugin.

I am “officially” maintaining the plugin, but to be honest I left it behind after the GitBlit’s maintainer (James) left the project.

I see that now the GitBlit project is alive again, a new maintainer took over, so I’m keen to make it running again :-)

The main issue with GitBlit is the alignment with the JGit library used inside Gerrit.

That’s why typically a custom-build of the GitBlit code is needed.

As Matthias pointed out in another reply, the gitiles plugin is now included as a core plugin in 3.1.x so if you're looking for a code browser you might want to consider that instead of gitblit.

Yeah, Gitiles is definitely more supported than GitBlit, albeit with a lower UX and a lot less features.

Gitiles provides also:

- Code analytics

- Code search

Which is really cool for large-scale installations.

AFAIK, GitBlit isn’t scalable enough for large repos and large-scale installations.

Hi Luca,

How is it possible to search code using Gitiles? I've tried to find something in https://gerrit.googlesource.com/gerrit/ but I failed. What am I doing wrong?

Yeah that is right, gitblit is really not scalable for large repos and/or a lot of repos, users, but there are a few nice features, we need sometimes, like analytics and code search

But if this is also possible in gitiles, i think we could go without gitblit.

How can we configure these both features? i am not able to find anythin in the configuration..

Best regards

Ansgar

I’m afraid Gitiles is intended for repository-browsing only: it does only one thing but very well and scalable.

GitBlit has many more features, and is more suitable for small-scale setup.

Luca.
