Johannes Schindelin	0dc787a9f2	ci: accelerate the checkout By upgrading from v1 to v2 of `actions/checkout`, we avoid fetching all the tags and the complete history: v2 only fetches one revision by default. This should make things a lot faster. Note that `actions/checkout@v2` seems to be incompatible with running in containers: https://github.com/actions/checkout/issues/151. Therefore, we stick with v1 there. Signed-off-by: Johannes Schindelin <johannes.schindelin@gmx.de> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>	4 years ago
Dennis Ameling	9ab0b66129	ci (vs-build): build with NO_GETTEXT We already build Git for Windows with `NO_GETTEXT` when compiling with GCC. Let's do the same with Visual C, too. Note that we do not technically _need_ to pass `NO_GETTEXT` explicitly in that `make artifacts-tar` invocation because we do this while `MSVC` is set (which will set `uname_S := Windows`, which in turn will set `NO_GETTEXT = YesPlease`). But it is definitely nicer to be explicit here.

Johannes Schindelin	d681d0dc3a	ci (windows): transfer also the Git-tracked files to the test jobs Git's test suite is excruciatingly slow on Windows, mainly due to the fact that it executes a lot of shell script code, and that's simply not native to Windows. To help with that, we established the pattern where the artifacts are first built in one job, and then multiple test jobs run in parallel using the artifacts built in the first job. We take pains in transferring only the build outputs, and letting `actions/checkout` fill in the rest of the files. One major downside of that strategy is that the test jobs might fail to check out the intended revision (e.g. because the branch has been updated while the build was running, as is frequently the case with the `seen` branch). Let's transfer also the files tracked by Git, and skip the checkout step in the test jobs.

Johannes Schindelin	0eb6c189a3	ci: use the new GitHub Action to download git-sdk-64-minimal In our continuous builds, Windows is the odd cookie that requires a complete development environment to be downloaded because there is no suitable one installed by default on Windows. Side note: technically, there _is_ a development environment present in GitHub Actions' build agents: MSYS2. But it differs from Git for Windows' SDK in subtle points, unfortunately enough so to prevent Git's test suite from running without failures. Traditionally, we support downloading this environment (which we nicknamed `git-sdk-64-minimal`) via a PowerShell scriptlet that accesses the build artifacts of a dedicated Azure Pipeline (which packages a tiny subset of the full Git for Windows SDK, containing just enough to build Git and run its test suite). This PowerShell script is unfortunately not very robust and sometimes fails due to network issues. Of course, we could add code to detect that situation, wait a little, try again, if it fails again wait a little longer, lather, rinse and repeat. Instead of doing all of this in Git's own `.github/workflows/`, though, let's offload this logic to the new GitHub Action at https://github.com/marketplace/actions/setup-git-for-windows-sdk This Action not only downloads and extracts git-sdk-64-minimal _outside_ the worktree (making it no longer necessary to meddle with `.gitignore` or `.git/info/exclude`), it also adds the `bash.exe` to the `PATH` and sets the environment variable `MSYSTEM` (an implementation detail that Git's workflow should never have needed to know about). This allows us to convert all those funny PowerShell tasks that wanted to call git-sdk-64-minimal's `bash.exe`: they all are now regular `bash` scriptlets. This finally lets us get rid of the funny quoting and escaping where we had to pay attention not only to quote and escape the Bash scriptlets properly, but also to add a second level of escaping (with backslashes for double quotes and backticks for dollar signs) to stop PowerShell from doing unintended things. Further, this Action uses a fast caching strategy native to GitHub Actions that should accelerate the download across CI runs: git-sdk-64-minimal is usually updated once per 24h, and needs to be cached only once within that period. Caching it (unfortunately only on a per-branch basis) speeds up the download step, and makes it much more robust at the same time by virtue of accessing a cache location that is closer in the network topology. With this we can drop the home-rolled caching where we try to accelerate the test phase by uploading git-sdk-64-minimal as a workflow artifact after using it to build Git, and then download it as workflow artifact in the test phase. Even better: the `vs-test` job no longer needs to depend on the `windows-build` job. The only reason it depended on it was to ensure that the `git-sdk-64-minimal` workflow artifact was available.

Dennis Ameling	958a5f5dfe	cmake(install): include vcpkg dlls Our CMake configuration generates not only build definitions, but also install definitions: After building Git using `msbuild git.sln`, the built artifacts can be installed via `msbuild INSTALL.vcxproj`. To specify _where_ the files should be installed, the `-DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=<path>` option can be used when running CMake. However, this process would really only install the files that were just built. On Windows, we need more than that: We also need the `.dll` files of the dependencies (such as libcurl). The `vcpkg` ecosystem, which we use to obtain those dependencies, can be asked to install said `.dll` files really easily, so let's do that. This requires more than just the built `vcpkg` artifacts in the CI build definition; We now clone the `vcpkg` repository so that the relevant CMake scripts are available, in particular the ones related to defining the toolchain.

Philippe Blain	2b0e14f640	ci: do not cancel all jobs of a matrix if one fails The CI/PR GitHub Actions workflow uses the 'matrix' strategy for the "windows-test", "vs-test", "regular" and "dockerized" jobs. The default behaviour of GitHub Actions is to cancel all in-progress jobs in a matrix if one of the job of the matrix fails [1]. This is not ideal as a failure early in a job, like during installation of the build/test dependencies on a specific platform, leads to the cancellation of all other jobs in the matrix. Set the 'fail-fast' variable to 'false' for all four matrix jobs in the workflow.

Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason	6c280b4142	ci: remove GETTEXT_POISON jobs A subsequent commit will remove GETTEXT_POISON entirely, let's start by removing the CI jobs that enable the option. We cannot just remove the job because the CI is implicitly depending on the "poison" job being a sort of "default" job in the sense that it's the job that was otherwise run with the default compiler, no other GIT_TEST_* options etc. So let's keep it under the name "linux-gcc-default". This means we can remove the initial "make test" from the "linux-gcc" job (it does another one after setting a bunch of GIT_TEST_* variables). I'm not doing that because it would conflict with the in-flight `334afbc76f` (tests: mark tests relying on the current default for `init.defaultBranch`, 2020-11-18) (currently on the "seen" branch, so the SHA-1 will almost definitely change).

We just worked around an issue with this check where older runs might unexpectedly miss the `head_commit` attribute. Let's be even more defensive by catching all kinds of exceptions, logging them as warnings, and continue the run without skipping it (after all, if the check fails, we _want_ to continue with the run). This commit is best viewed with the diff option `-w` because it increases the indentation level of the GitHub Action script by two spaces, surrounding it by a `try ... catch` construct.

Johannes Schindelin	17c13069b4	GitHub workflow: automatically follow minor updates of setup-msbuild It is the custom to follow minor updates of GitHub Actions automatically, by using the suffix `@v1`. Actions' maintainers will then update that `v1` ref to point to the newest. However, for `microsoft/setup-msbuild`, `889cacb689` (ci: configure GitHub Actions for CI/PR, 2020-04-11) uses a very specific `@v1.0.0` suffix. In this instance, that is a problem: should `setup-msbuild` release a new version that intends to fix a critical bug, we won't know it, and we won't use it. Such a scenario is not theoretical. It is happening right now: https://github.blog/changelog/2020-10-01-github-actions-deprecating-set-env-and-add-path-commands Let's simplify our setup, allowing us to benefit from automatically using the newest v1.x.

Johannes Schindelin	2fcf7a8c65	ci: avoid ugly "failure" in the `ci-config` job In the common case where users have _not_ pushed a `ci-config` branch to configure which branches should be included in the GitHub workflow runs, there is a big fat ugly annotation about a failure in the run's log: X Check failure on line 1 in .github @github-actions github-actions / ci-config .github#L1 Process completed with exit code 128. The reason is that the `ci-config` job tries to clone that `ci-config` branch, and even if it is configured to continue on error, the annotation is displayed, and it is distracting.

Sibi Siddharthan	4c2c38e800	ci: modification of main.yml to use cmake for vs-build job Teach .github/workflows/main.yml to use CMake for VS builds. Modified the vs-test step to match windows-test step. This speeds up the vs-test. Calling git-cmd from powershell and then calling git-bash to perform the tests slows things down(factor of about 6). So git-bash is directly called from powershell to perform the tests using prove. NOTE: Since GitHub keeps the same directory for each job (with respect to path) absolute paths are used in the bin-wrapper scripts. GitHub has switched to CMake 3.17.1 which changed the behaviour of FindCURL module. An extra definition (-DCURL_NO_CURL_CMAKE=ON) has been added to revert to the old behaviour. In the configuration phase CMake looks for the required libraries for building git (eg zlib,libiconv). So we extract the libraries before we configure. To check for ICONV_OMITS_BOM libiconv.dll needs to be in the working directory of script or path. So we copy the dlls before we configure.

Johannes Schindelin	857341c1b7	ci: avoid pounding on the poor ci-artifacts container When this developer tested how the git-sdk-64-minimal artifact could be served to all the GitHub workflow runs that need it, Azure Blobs looked like a pretty good choice: it is reliable, fast and we already use it in Git for Windows to serve components like OpenSSL, cURL, etc It came as an unpleasant surprise just _how many_ times this artifact was downloaded. It exploded the bandwidth to a point where the free tier would no longer be enough, threatening to block other, essential Git for Windows services. Let's switch back to using the Build Artifacts of our trusty Azure Pipeline for the time being. To avoid unnecessary hammering of the Azure Pipeline artifacts, we use the GitHub Action `actions/upload-artifact` in the `windows-build` job and the GitHub Action `actions/download-artifact` in the `windows-test` and `vs-test` jobs (the latter now depends on `windows-build` for that reason, too).

Jeff King	e76eec3554	ci: allow per-branch config for GitHub Actions Depending on the workflows of individual developers, it can either be convenient or annoying that our GitHub Actions CI jobs are run on every branch. As an example of annoying: if you carry many half-finished work-in-progress branches and rebase them frequently against master, you'd get tons of failure reports that aren't interesting (not to mention the wasted CPU). This commit adds a new job which checks a special branch within the repository for CI config, and then runs a shell script it finds there to decide whether to skip the rest of the tests. The default will continue to run tests for all refs if that branch or script is missing. There have been a few alternatives discussed: One option is to carry information in the commit itself about whether it should be tested, either in the tree itself (changing the workflow YAML file) or in the commit message (a "[skip ci]" flag or similar). But these are frustrating and error-prone to use: - you have to manually apply them to each branch that you want to mark - it's easy for them to leak into other workflows, like emailing patches We could likewise try to get some information from the branch name. But that leads to debates about whether the default should be "off" or "on", and overriding still ends up somewhat awkward. If we default to "on", you have to remember to name your branches appropriately to skip CI. And if "off", you end up having to contort your branch names or duplicate your pushes with an extra refspec. By comparison, this commit's solution lets you specify your config once and forget about it, and all of the data is off in its own ref, where it can be changed by individual forks without touching the main tree. There were a few design decisions that came out of on-list discussion. I'll summarize here: - we could use GitHub's API to retrieve the config ref, rather than a real checkout (and then just operate on it via some javascript). We still have to spin up a VM and contact GitHub over the network from it either way, so it ends up not being much faster. I opted to go with shell to keep things similar to our other tools (and really could implement allow-refs in any language you want). This also makes it easy to test your script locally, and to modify it within the context of a normal git.git tree. - we could keep the well-known refname out of refs/heads/ to avoid cluttering the branch namespace. But that makes it awkward to manipulate. By contrast, you can just "git checkout ci-config" to make changes. - we could assume the ci-config ref has nothing in it except config (i.e., a branch unrelated to the rest of git.git). But dealing with orphan branches is awkward. Instead, we'll do our best to efficiently check out only the ci/config directory using a shallow partial clone, which allows your ci-config branch to be just a normal branch, with your config changes on top. - we could provide a simpler interface, like a static list of ref patterns. But we can't get out of spinning up a whole VM anyway, so we might as well use that feature to make the config as flexible as possible. If we add more config, we should be able to reuse our partial-clone to set more outputs. Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>	5 years ago

Đoàn Trần Công Danh	889cacb689	ci: configure GitHub Actions for CI/PR This patch adds CI builds via GitHub Actions. While the underlying technology is at least _very_ similar to that of Azure Pipelines, GitHub Actions are much easier to set up than Azure Pipelines: - no need to install a GitHub App, - no need to set up an Azure DevOps account, - all you need to do is push to your fork on GitHub. Therefore, it makes a lot of sense for us to have a working GitHub Actions setup. While copy/editing `azure-pipelines.yml` into `.github/workflows/main.yml`, we also use the opportunity to accelerate the step that sets up a minimal subset of Git for Windows' SDK in the Windows-build job: - we now download a `.tar.xz` stored in Azure Blobs and extract it simultaneously by calling `curl` and piping the result to `tar`, - decompressing via `xz`, - all three utilities are installed together with Git for Windows At the same time, we also make use of the matrix build feature, which reduces the amount of repeated text by quite a bit. Also, we do away with the parts that try to mount a file share on which `prove` can store data between runs. It is just too complicated to set up, and most times the tree changes anyway, so there is little return on investment there.

Jeff King	c3a7dd70c4	point pull requesters to GitGitGadget In the contributing guide and PR template seen by people who open pull requests on GitHub, we mention the submitGit tool, which gives an alternative to figuring out the mailing list. These days we also have the similar GitGitGadget tool, and we should make it clear that this is also an option. We could continue to mention _both_ tools, but it's probably better to pick one in order to avoid overwhelming the user with choice. After all, one of the purposes here is to reduce friction for first-time or infrequent contributors. And there are a few reasons to prefer GGG: 1. submitGit seems to still have a few rough edges. E.g., it doesn't munge timestamps to help threaded mail readers handled out-of-order delivery. 2. Subjectively, GGG seems to be more commonly used on the list these days, especially by list regulars. 3. GGG seems to be under more active development (likely related to point 2). So let's actually swap out submitGit for GGG. While we're there, let's put another link to the GGG page in the PR template, because that's where users who are learning about it for the first time will want to go to read more.
