\title Using GitLab
|
||||
|
||||
GitLab is a DevOps tool developed by GitLab. You can clone projects from
|
||||
GitLab servers and use \l{Using Git}{Git} to manage your local and remote
|
||||
repositories.
|
||||
|
||||
To enable the experimental GitLab plugin, select \uicontrol Help >
|
||||
\uicontrol {About Plugins} > \uicontrol {Version Control} >
|
||||
\uicontrol GitLab. Then select \uicontrol {Restart Now} to
|
||||
restart \QC and load the plugin.
|
||||
|
||||
To use GitLab, you must create a connection to the GitLab server and clone
|
||||
the projects you want to work on. You can also link previously cloned
|
||||
projects to GitLab in the project settings. This enables you to receive
|
||||
event notifications in the \l {Viewing Output}{Version Control} pane.
|
||||
|
||||
\section1 Connecting to GitLab Servers
|
||||
|
||||
To connect to a GitLab server, you need to specify the server host name and
|
||||
port number, as well as an access token that you create in GitLab for \QC.
|
||||
The permission scope of the token must be at least \c read_api or \c api.
|
||||
|
||||
To specify connections to GitLab servers, select \uicontrol Edit >
|
||||
\uicontrol Preferences > \uicontrol {Version Control} > \uicontrol GitLab:
|
||||
|
||||
\image qtcreator-gitlab-preferences.png
|
||||
|
||||
To add GitLab servers:
|
||||
|
||||
\list 1
|
||||
\li Select \uicontrol Add to open the \uicontrol {Add Server} dialog:
|
||||
\image qtcreator-gitlab-preferences-add-server.png
|
||||
\li In \uicontrol Host, enter the host name of the GitLab server.
|
||||
\li In \uicontrol Description, enter a free-form text that is displayed
|
||||
in the GitLab settings of a linked project.
|
||||
\li In \uicontrol {Access token}, enter the access token you created for
|
||||
\QC in the GitLab server, in \uicontrol Preferences >
|
||||
\uicontrol {Access Tokens}.
|
||||
\li In \uicontrol Port, enter a port number.
|
||||
\li Deselect the \uicontrol HTTPS check box to use an HTTP connection
|
||||
instead of a secure connection.
|
||||
\li Select \uicontrol Add to create the connection.
|
||||
\endlist
|
||||
|
||||
In the \uicontrol GitLab tab, \uicontrol curl displays the path to the
|
||||
\c curl tool used for HTTP connections. You can specify another path to
|
||||
use another instance of the tool than the one found by \QC.
|
||||
|
||||
To edit the selected connection, select \uicontrol Edit.
|
||||
|
||||
To remove the selected connection, select \uicontrol Remove.
|
||||
|
||||
\section1 Cloning Projects
|
||||
|
||||
You can clone projects from the connected GitLab servers. \QC reads your
|
||||
user name and ID from the access token and displays the available projects
|
||||
in each server. You can search for a particular project or browse projects
|
||||
in the list.
|
||||
|
||||
To clone projects from GitLab:
|
||||
|
||||
\list 1
|
||||
\li Select \uicontrol Tools > \uicontrol GitLab to view a list of
|
||||
connected GitLab servers and available projects in each server:
|
||||
\image qtcreator-gitlab-project-list.png
|
||||
\li In \uicontrol Remote, select a GitLab server.
|
||||
\li In \uicontrol Projects, select the project to clone.
|
||||
\li Select \uicontrol Clone to open the \uicontrol {Clone Repository}
|
||||
dialog:
|
||||
\image qtcreator-gitlab-clone-repository.png
|
||||
\li In \uicontrol Repository, specify the URL of the repository.
|
||||
\li In \uicontrol Path, specify the path where to clone the repository.
|
||||
\li In \uicontrol Directory, specify the name of the directory for the
|
||||
cloned repository.
|
||||
\li Select the \uicontrol Recursive check box to also clone submodules
|
||||
of the repository.
|
||||
\li Select \uicontrol Clone to clone the project to the specified
|
||||
directory.
|
||||
\endlist
|
||||
|
||||
\QC automatically opens the project. If the cloned project has several
|
||||
project files (such as CMakeList.txt, .pro, and .qbs), \QC prompts you to
|
||||
select the one to open. If it does not contain a project file that \QC can
|
||||
open, select \uicontrol File > \uicontrol {New Project} >
|
||||
\uicontrol {Import Project} > \uicontrol {Import Existing Project} to
|
||||
import the project as a generic project. For more information, see
|
||||
\l {Using Project Wizards}.
|
||||
|
||||
\section1 Linking Projects with GitLab
|
||||
|
||||
Link a project with a GitLab token to receive notifications on events, such
|
||||
as merge requests, issues, or comments, in the \uicontrol {Version Control}
|
||||
pane. The information is fetched every 15 minutes. Only events that occurred
|
||||
after the last time you logged into GitLab are displayed when you open the
|
||||
project for the first time. Subsequently, events that occurred after the last
|
||||
successful fetch are listed.
|
||||
|
||||
To link with GitLab:
|
||||
|
||||
\list 1
|
||||
\li In the \uicontrol Projects mode, select \uicontrol {GitLab} to view
|
||||
the GitLab settings for the currently active project:
|
||||
\image qtcreator-gitlab-preferences-project.png
|
||||
\li In \uicontrol Host, select the URL of the GitLab server.
|
||||
\li In \uicontrol {Linked GitLab configuration}, select the GitLab
|
||||
server settings to use.
|
||||
\li Select \uicontrol {Link with GitLab} to receive event notifications
|
||||
in the \uicontrol {Version Control} pane.
|
||||
\endlist
|
||||
|
||||
To test the connection to the host using the access token specified in the
|
||||
GitLab configuration, select \uicontrol {Test Connection}.
|
||||
|
||||
To stop the reception of event notifications, select
|
||||
\uicontrol {Unlink from GitLab}.
