ci(linux-asan-ubsan): let's save some time Every once in a while, the `git-p4` tests flake for reasons outside of our control. It typically fails with "Connection refused" e.g. here: https://github.com/git/git/actions/runs/5969707156/job/16196057724 [...] + git p4 clone --dest=/home/runner/work/git/git/t/trash directory.t9807-git-p4-submit/git //depot Initialized empty Git repository in /home/runner/work/git/git/t/trash directory.t9807-git-p4-submit/git/.git/ Perforce client error: Connect to server failed; check $P4PORT. TCP connect to localhost:9807 failed. connect: 127.0.0.1:9807: Connection refused failure accessing depot: could not run p4 Importing from //depot into /home/runner/work/git/git/t/trash directory.t9807-git-p4-submit/git [...] This happens in other jobs, too, but in the `linux-asan-ubsan` job it hurts the most because that job often takes over a full hour to run, therefore re-running a failed `linux-asan-ubsan` job is _very_ costly. The purpose of the `linux-asan-ubsan` job is to exercise the C code of Git, anyway, and any part of Git's source code that the `git-p4` tests run and that would benefit from the attention of ASAN/UBSAN are run better in other tests anyway, as debugging C code run via Python scripts can get a bit hairy. In fact, it is not even just `git-p4` that is the problem (even if it flakes often enough to be problematic in the CI builds), but really the part about Python scripts. So let's just skip any Python parts of the tests from being run in that job. For good measure, also skip the Subversion tests because debugging C code run via Perl scripts is as much fun as debugging C code run via Python scripts. And it will reduce the time this very expensive job takes, which is a big benefit. Signed-off-by: Johannes Schindelin <johannes.schindelin@gmx.de> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
Git is a fast, scalable, distributed revision control system with an unusually rich command set that provides both high-level operations and full access to internals.
Git is an Open Source project covered by the GNU General Public License version 2 (some parts of it are under different licenses, compatible with the GPLv2). It was originally written by Linus Torvalds with help of a group of hackers around the net.
Please read the file INSTALL for installation instructions.
Many Git online resources are accessible from https://git-scm.com/ including full documentation and Git related tools.
See Documentation/gittutorial.txt to get started, then see Documentation/giteveryday.txt for a useful minimum set of commands, and Documentation/git-<commandname>.txt for documentation of each command. If git has been correctly installed, then the tutorial can also be read with man gittutorial or git help tutorial, and the documentation of each command with man git-<commandname> or git help <commandname>.
CVS users may also want to read Documentation/gitcvs-migration.txt (man gitcvs-migration or git help cvs-migration if git is installed).
The user discussion and development of Git take place on the Git mailing list -- everyone is welcome to post bug reports, feature requests, comments and patches to git@vger.kernel.org (read Documentation/SubmittingPatches for instructions on patch submission and Documentation/CodingGuidelines).
Those wishing to help with error message, usage and informational message string translations (localization l10) should see po/README.md (a po file is a Portable Object file that holds the translations).
To subscribe to the list, send an email with just “subscribe git” in the body to majordomo@vger.kernel.org (not the Git list). The mailing list archives are available at https://lore.kernel.org/git/, http://marc.info/?l=git and other archival sites.
Issues which are security relevant should be disclosed privately to the Git Security mailing list git-security@googlegroups.com.
The maintainer frequently sends the “What's cooking” reports that list the current status of various development topics to the mailing list. The discussion following them give a good reference for project status, development direction and remaining tasks.
The name “git” was given by Linus Torvalds when he wrote the very first version. He described the tool as “the stupid content tracker” and the name as (depending on your mood):
