Installation

To install GitBridge in your Pharo image execute:

    Metacello new
    	githubUser: 'jecisc' project: 'GitBridge' commitish: 'v1.x.x' path: 'src';
    	baseline: 'GitBridge';
    	load

To add it to your baseline:

    spec
    	baseline: 'GitBridge'
    	with: [ spec repository: 'github://jecisc/GitBridge:v1.x.x/src' ]

Note that you can replace the #v1.x.x by another branch such as #development or a tag such as #v1.0.0, #v1.? or #v1.1.?.

Quick start

In order to create a GitBridge to your project, you first need to subclass GitBridge and to store your bridge in a package of your project.

GitBridge subclass: #MyProjectBridge
	slots: {  }
	classVariables: {  }
	package: 'MyProject'

This new bridge needs a class initialization like this one:

MyProjectBridge class>>initialize
	SessionManager default registerSystemClassNamed: self name

This will allow the bridge to reset some cache at the image startup.

Now that your bridge is created, if it finds an Iceberg repository, associated to its local clone, containing the package in which the bridge is defined, you will be able to use the bridge to access some resources.

For example you can get a file reference to the git folder like this:

MyProjectBridge root

You can open the git repository by executing:

MyProjectBridge openInNativeFileSystem

You can get the version of you project by executing:

MyProjectBridge versionOrBranchNameWithLastTag

Version management

This project uses semantic versioning to define the releases. This means that each stable release of the project will be assigned a version number of the form vX.Y.Z.

• X defines the major version number
• Y defines the minor version number
• Z defines the patch version number

When a release contains only bug fixes, the patch number increases. When the release contains new features that are backward compatible, the minor version increases. When the release contains breaking changes, the major version increases.

Thus, it should be safe to depend on a fixed major version and moving minor version of this project.
