Introducing yourself
39
36
====================
41
Before you start working, it is good to tell Bazaar who you are. That
42
way your work is properly identified in revision logs.
38
Bazaar records changes to source code, and it records who made the change.
39
The person is identified by their name and email address. (If you're
40
concerned about spam, you don't need to use a real address that you
41
actually read, but the convention is that it looks like an email address.)
44
Using your name and email address, instead of John Doe's, type::
43
Before you start working, let's tell Bazaar who you are. Using your name
44
and email address, instead of John Doe's, type::
46
46
$ bzr whoami "John Doe <john.doe@gmail.com>"
48
Bazaar will now create or modify a configuration file, including your
49
name and email address.
51
Now, check that your name and email address are correctly registered::
48
You can check what identity is stored in Bazaar's configuration::
54
51
John Doe <john.doe@gmail.com>
57
Putting files under version control
58
===================================
60
Let's create a directory and some files to use with Bazaar::
65
$ touch test1.txt test2.txt test3.txt subdirectory/test4.txt
67
**Note for Windows users:** use Windows Explorer to create your
68
directories, then right-click in those directories and select
69
``New file`` to create your files.
71
Now get Bazaar to initialize itself in your project directory::
75
If it looks like nothing happened, don't worry. Bazaar has created a
76
branch_ where it will store your files and their revision histories.
78
.. _branch: http://bazaar-vcs.org/Branch
80
The next step is to tell Bazaar which files you want to track. Running
81
``bzr add`` will recursively add everything in the project::
88
added subdirectory/test4.txt
90
Next, take a snapshot of your files by committing them to your branch. Add
91
a message to explain why you made the commit::
93
$ bzr commit -m "Initial import"
95
As Bazaar is a distributed version control system, it doesn't need to
96
connect to a central server to make the commit. Instead, Bazaar stores your
97
branch and all its commits inside the directory you're working with; look
98
for the ``.bzr`` sub-directory.
54
Starting a new project
55
======================
57
Let's suppose we want to store a new project under Bazaar. First, we'll
58
make a directory to hold all our work related to this project. We'll make
59
a *repository directory*, which means that the
101
69

143
Publishing your branch with sftp
144
================================
146
There are a couple of ways to publish your branch. If you already have
147
an SFTP server or are comfortable setting one up, you can publish your
150
Otherwise, skip to the next section to publish with Launchpad_, a free
151
hosting service for Bazaar.
153
.. _Launchpad: https://launchpad.net/
155
Let's assume you want to publish your branch at ``www.example.com/myproject``::
157
$ bzr push --create-prefix sftp://your.name@example.com/~/public_html/myproject
158
2 revision(s) pushed.
160
Bazaar will create a ``myproject`` directory on the remote server and
161
push your branch to it.
163
Now anyone can create their own copy of your branch by typing::
165
$ bzr branch http://www.example.com/myproject
167
**Note:** to use sftp, you may need to install ``paramiko`` and
168
``pyCrypto``. See http://bazaar-vcs.org/InstallationFaq for details.
171
Publishing your branch with Launchpad
172
=====================================
174
Launchpad is a suite of development and hosting tools for free
175
software projects. You can use it to publish your branch.
111
Publishing your branch on Launchpad
112
===================================
114
Launchpad is a suite of development and hosting tools for
115
software projects. You can use it to publish your branch. (You can
116
also publish branches onto your own server or other hosting services.)
177
118
If you don't have a Launchpad account, follow the `account signup guide`_
178
119
and `register an SSH key`_ in your new Launchpad account.
180
121
.. _account signup guide: https://help.launchpad.net/CreatingYourLaunchpadAccount
181
122
.. _register an SSH key: https://launchpad.net/people/+me/+editsshkeys

Replacing ``john.doe`` with your own Launchpad username, type [#]_::
124
Replacing ``john.doe`` with your own Launchpad username, type::
185
126
$ bzr push lp:~john.doe/+junk/myproject
187
.. [#] Use of the ``lp:`` URL scheme requires bzr 0.92 or later.
189
**Note:** ``+junk`` means that this branch isn't associated with any particular
190
project in Launchpad.
128
**Note**: ``+junk`` is a place to store experimental branches not
129
associated with any particular project. Normally, you should push a
130
project into an existing project, or register a new project through the
192
133
Now, anyone can create their own copy of your branch by typing::
203
144
To work with someone else's code, you can make your own copy of their
204
145
branch. Let's take a real-world example, Bazaar's GTK interface::
206
$ bzr branch lp:~bzr/bzr-gtk/trunk bzr-gtk.john
147
$ bzr init-repo ~/bzr-gtk
148
$ bzr branch lp:~bzr/bzr-gtk/trunk ~/bzr-gtk/john
207
149
Branched 292 revision(s).
209
151
Bazaar will download all the files and complete revision history from the
210
bzr-gtk project's trunk branch and create a copy called bzr-gtk.john.
152
bzr-gtk project's trunk branch and create a copy called ``john``.
212
154
Now, you have your own copy of the branch and can commit changes with
213
155
or without a net connection. You can share your branch at any time by
177
If different branches have made changes to the same areas of the same
178
files, then merging them may generate conflicts. When this happens,
179
Bazaar puts text markers like ``<<<<<<<`` into the files, and records them
180
in a list of conflicted files. You should edit the files to reflect the
181
way you want to resolve the conflicts, use ``bzr diff`` to check the
182
changes, and then ``bzr resolve`` to mark them as resolved.
235
184
If you're happy with the changes, you can commit them to your personal
239
188
Committed revision 295.
242
Merging your work into the parent branch
243
========================================
245
After you've worked on your personal branch of bzr-gtk, you may want to
246
send your changes back upstream to the project. The easiest way is to
247
use a merge directive.
249
A merge directive is a machine-readable request to perform a
250
particular merge. It usually contains a patch preview of the merge
251
and either contains the necessary revisions, or provides a branch
252
where they can be found.
254
Replacing ``mycode.patch``, create your merge directive::
256
$ bzr send -o mycode.patch
257
Using saved parent location: http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~bzr/bzr-gtk/trunk
259
You can now email the merge directive to the bzr-gtk project who, if
260
they choose, can use it merge your work back into the parent branch.
