===========
|
|
This directory contains tools for developers working on this repository.
|
|
|
|
github-merge.sh
|
|
----------------
|
|
|
|
A small script to automate merging pull-requests securely and sign them with GPG.
|
|
|
|
For example:
|
|
|
|
./github-merge.sh bitcoin/bitcoin 3077
|
|
|
|
(in any git repository) will help you merge pull request #3077 for the
|
|
bitcoin/bitcoin repository.
|
|
|
|
What it does:
|
|
* Fetch master and the pull request.
|
|
* Locally construct a merge commit.
|
|
* Show the diff that merge results in.
|
|
* Ask you to verify the resulting source tree (so you can do a make
|
|
check or whatever).
|
|
* Ask you whether to GPG sign the merge commit.
|
|
* Ask you whether to push the result upstream.
|
|
|
|
This means that there are no potential race conditions (where a
|
|
pullreq gets updated while you're reviewing it, but before you click
|
|
merge), and when using GPG signatures, that even a compromised github
|
|
couldn't mess with the sources.
|
|
|
|
Setup
|
|
---------
|
|
Configuring the github-merge tool for the bitcoin repository is done in the following way:
|
|
|
|
git config githubmerge.repository bitcoin/bitcoin
|
|
git config githubmerge.testcmd "make -j4 check" (adapt to whatever you want to use for testing)
|
|
git config --global user.signingkey mykeyid (if you want to GPG sign)
|
|
|
|
## fix-copyright-headers.py
|
|
|
|
Every year newly updated files need to have its copyright headers updated to reflect the current year.
|
|
If you run this script from src/ it will automatically update the year on the copyright header for all
|
|
.cpp and .h files if these have a git commit from the current year.
|
|
|
|
For example a file changed in 2014 (with 2014 being the current year):
|
|
```// Copyright (c) 2009-2013 The Bitcoin developers```
|
|
|
|
would be changed to:
|
|
```// Copyright (c) 2009-2014 The Bitcoin developers``` |
