Can we push to a refs/for/branchname in Stash

[Mohan Krishnan]

Hello ,

Can we push commits / branch to refs/for/branchname in Stash server like gerrit . This can be used to stage changes for build and smoke test .

Regards,

Mohan

Yes it does. You'll need to install Ruby though.

[Mohan Krishnan]

Does it requires installation of any external modules as well?

does this gem works with git 1.8.0 version?

[Mohan Krishnan]

Was able to resolve the above issue . However after creating the Pull request using

stash pull-request mybranch master

i get the follwoing error :

An error occurred while executing an external process: 'C:\Program Files (x86)\Git\bin\git.exe update-ref refs/pull-requests/4/from 0c0ad54e1aa40190982c4eb103906e94b655ebd9' exited with code 128 saying: error: unable to create directory for refs/pull-requests/4/from fatal: Cannot lock the ref 'refs/pull-requests/4/from'.

Could you please help .

Hi Mohan,

As Seb has indicated, you can obviuosly push changes to any ref. But we do not currently support the staging areas in the same way that Gerrit does. The Stash way is push your changes to a new branch and then create a pull request (which then may have automatic Bamboo builds). What I'd like to see at some stage is a plugin that creates those pull requests for you automatically based on the branch name. For now you could use Seb's awesome command line tool for Stash.

Hi Charles,

As you indicated - " The Stash way is push your changes to a new branch and then create a pull request " . The only thing is see lacking here is user private branch support .Gerrit provides functionality for the creation of an access rule for "refs/heads/dev/${username}/*" branch. Essentially in our work flow we want that the developer should be able to push his branches onto some server, and be sure that nobody else can delete or overwrite them.

Does the command line tool for Stash works in a windows 7 environment ?

[seb]

Yes, you can commit to any ref you like.
