Git repository: Set a branch as default for redmine

Added by Nabil Kadimi over 14 years ago

Hello,

I'm new to Redmine and Git, so I don't know if it's me or Redmine or Git.

I installed redmine and set up git and imported into it a project that needed more work, I renamed the "master" branch as "1.0.0" and then added another branch "1.0.1".

As you can see, git recognises 1.0.1as the current working branch:
me@srv [~/rep/project]# git branch
1.0.0
  • 1.0.1

But when i visit http://www.example.com/projects/project/repository Redmine always chooses to show me the branch 1.0.0

Is this normal?
How can I tell redmine to show me 1.0.1 instead of 1.0.0

Kind Regards,
Nabil Kadimi (coming from PHP).

There is no such thing as a "default branch" on git, git branch only shows you the one you are working on which is a local setting, not one that others copies of that repository will have. The consensus seems to be to have a "master" branch, which redmine seems to follow too. See source:trunk/lib/redmine/scm/adapters/git_adapter.rb#L55 for the implementation.

I see, thanks for the hints.
I renamed 1.0.1 to master.. I don't know if it's a good practice but at least it helps me see the latest (the working) branch

From what I'm reading, I'm not sure branches are what you are looking for… If you just want to flag a certain commit as being the point in the git history at which you shipped 1.0.0, you should rather use a tag. Google should point you to more complete sources, though http://ricroberts.com/articles/getting-to-grips-with-git-part-2-branches-and-tags seems to sum it up nicely.

If you have access to the bare repository you can use symbolic-ref to set the default HEAD branch. Navigate into your bare repository and type in the following:

git symbolic-ref HEAD refs/heads/mybranch

From now on redmine will default to the "mybranch" branch when visiting the Repository tab.
