• Vast Wiki Git Page
• git clone https://inst.kilnhg.com/Code/vastbuild/Testing/stable.git stable
• So after pulling the new copy Test, delete the common folder completely. The idea here is to eliminate common from yoiur project then add back good copy of it.
• Performing a “git status” should show that you are deleting common.
• Execute a “git add common” to register the deletion of common.
• Now do the steps for adding common to a new project:
• git submodule add https://inst.kilnhg.com/Code/vastbuild/Common/stable.git
• Then initialize and update the common subproject:
• “git submodule init”
• “git submodule update”
• Now add the valid common subproject back into your project: “git add common”
• Commit your Test project: “git commit”
• Push the good copy back up into kiln “git push”
• Must do a git pull from common to get latest version if common has changed. git pull from stable will not update common.
• Failure to get to kiln can mean ssl certs out of date especially on solaris or aix

• git status
• git commit -am “some message”
• git push
• may have to do “git -rm –cached common” if message is “already exists in index” after full clone

• Store userid and pw: Just before performing a repository access action like git pull, enter the following command: git config credential.helper store

git rev-list --objects --all \
| git cat-file --batch-check='%(objecttype) %(objectname) %(objectsize) %(rest)' \
| sed -n 's/^blob //p' \
| sort --numeric-sort --key=2 \
| cut -c 1-12,41- \
| $(command -v gnumfmt || echo numfmt) --field=2 --to=iec-i --suffix=B --padding=7 --round=nearest

• download bfg.jar
• clone your repo with the –mirror parameter
• git clone –mirror https://inst.kilnhg.com/Code/vastbuild/Testing/stable.git stable
• run java -jar ./bfg-1.13.0.jar –strip-blobs-bigger-than 3M /home/donald/stable
• run git reflog expire –expire=now –all && git gc –prune=now –aggressive
• cd to stable.git (the mirror) and run git push
