+Note 1+ : the appropriate binaries *must* be installed on the *same host as Redmine*.
17 9 Jean-Philippe Lang
18 38 Etienne Massip
For example, if you want to access Subversion repositories in Redmine, you'll have to install the svn binaries on the Redmine host.
19 1 Jean-Philippe Lang
20 38 Etienne Massip
+Note 2+ : the appropriate binaries must be reachable by Redmine :
21
22
2 options :
23
* they are directly available in the @PATH@ environment variable:
24 39 Etienne Massip
** if the command name is not the default one, you can redefine it in Redmine [[RedmineInstall#SCM-settings|configuration file]]
25
* you can define the full path to the binaries in Redmine [[RedmineInstall#SCM-settings|configuration file]] 
26 38 Etienne Massip
27
Finally, be sure to enable any SCM you wish to use globally in @Administration->Settings->Repositories->Enabled SCM@

h2. Attaching an existing repository to a project
30
31
In the project settings, make sure that the 'Repository' module is enabled and go to the 'Repository' tab.
32 34 Graham King
Select the SCM that corresponds to your repository and enter the path or URL of your repository.
33 1 Jean-Philippe Lang
34
*Important*: When you first browse the repository, Redmine retrieves the description of all of the existing commits and stores them in the database.
35
This is done only once per repository but can take a very long time (or even time out) if your repository has hundreds of commits.
36 19 Mischa The Evil
37
To avoid this, you can do it offline.
38
After having your repository declared in Redmine, run the following command:
39 1 Jean-Philippe Lang
<pre>
40 51 Etienne Massip
$ ./script/rails runner "Repository.fetch_changesets" -e production
41 1 Jean-Philippe Lang
</pre>
42 37 Etienne Massip
43 1 Jean-Philippe Lang
All commits will be retrieved in to the Redmine database.
44 37 Etienne Massip
45
Since version 0.9.x, you can also call an URL via WS to execute @fetch_changesets@ :
46
47
<pre>
48 28 Enderson Maia
http://redmine.example.com/sys/fetch_changesets?key=<WS key> (=> fetches changesets for all active projects)
49 37 Etienne Massip
http://redmine.example.com/sys/fetch_changesets?key=<WS key>&id=foo (=> fetches changesets for project foo only)
50
</pre>
51
52 28 Enderson Maia
Don't forget to append @WS key@ authentication information as described in [[Rest_api#Authentication|Rest_api#Authentication]].
53 1 Jean-Philippe Lang
54
See [[HowTo_setup_automatic_refresh_of_repositories_in_Redmine_on_commit]] for an example.
55 19 Mischa The Evil
56 1 Jean-Philippe Lang
h3. Subversion repository
57 19 Mischa The Evil
58 1 Jean-Philippe Lang
The usual protocols are supported (eg. @http:@, @svn:@, @file:@), just enter the URL of the repository.
59
60
For example:
61
<pre>
62 5 Jean-Philippe Lang
http://host/path/to/the/repository
63
</pre>
64 1 Jean-Philippe Lang
65 34 Graham King
You can specify a username and password if the repository requires authentication.
66 1 Jean-Philippe Lang
67
Note: if you want to access the repository using @svn+ssh://@, you'll have to configure svn+ssh to be non-interactive.
68
This requires you to setup a public/private key pair for ssh authentication.
69
70
h3. CVS repository
71
72 15 Azamat Hackimov
Enter:
73 19 Mischa The Evil
* the URL of the repository (it can be either a path or a connection string, eg. @:pserver@).
74
* the module name
75
76
For example:
77 10 Thomas Lecavelier
<pre>
78 19 Mischa The Evil
:pserver:login:password@host:/path/to/the/repository
79 1 Jean-Philippe Lang
</pre>

h3. Git repository

84
85 19 Mischa The Evil
h4. Local environment setup
86 21 Mischa The Evil
87 40 Tomas Pospisek
Redmine requires a repository which is *bare* and *local* to enable browsing through Redmine.
88 10 Thomas Lecavelier
89
Imagine you want to browse the to-do list manager project "Donebox": its clone URL is @git://github.com/ook/donebox.git@.
90
On the server where you're running Redmine, create a directory accessible by the user running your Redmine server:
91
<pre>
92
$ sudo mkdir -p /var/redmine/git_repositories
93
$ sudo chown rails:rails /var/redmine/git_repositories
94 19 Mischa The Evil
$ cd /var/redmine/git_repositories
95 1 Jean-Philippe Lang
</pre>
96 19 Mischa The Evil
97
Note the second line: it changes the ownership of the newly created directory to the user @rails@ and the group @rails@. Of course, you have to replace it according to your server settings (it can be @www-data@, @apache@ or when you are having a very bad sysadmin: @root@). Keep in mind that this user needs to have the (local-)permissions to run the @git@ command.
98
99 1 Jean-Philippe Lang
h4. Create the bare repository
100
101
After the preceding steps have been taken it is time to create our bare repository:
102 29 Burt Culver
<pre>
103
$ pwd
104 1 Jean-Philippe Lang
/var/redmine/git_repositories
105 49 Etienne Massip
$ git clone --bare git://github.com/ook/donebox.git donebox.git
106 1 Jean-Philippe Lang

112 49 Etienne Massip
$ cd donebox.git
113 10 Thomas Lecavelier
</pre>
114 29 Burt Culver
115 50 @ go2null
Our bare repository is now created successfully! Now go to your Redmine project settings, go to the repositories tab and choose @git@ as the SCM, then put in the _Path to repository_ (in our example this is @/var/redmine/git_repositories/donebox.git/@) and save the settings. Have a look at your repository tab: you should now be able to browse your repository successfully.
116
117
Note: Per Defect #8548, if you set the _Report last commit for files and directories_, four columns are added on repository file an ddirectory lists:
118
* Revision
119
* Age
120
* Author
121
* Comment
122 25 Benoit Bénézech
123 53 Reinier Battenberg
Note: of course, this git repository won't update by itself. You'll have to @git fetch@ it regulary by hand, set up a cron job which will execute the @git fetch@-command automatically for you.
124
125
To have your repository (and all your branches) refresh every 10 minutes you can add a cronjob like:
126
<pre>
127
*/10 * * * * cd /srv/repos/git/myrepo.git && git fetch origin +refs/heads/*:refs/heads/* && git reset --soft
128
</pre>
129
130
Or you can use a post-receive hook, like this one : 
131 31 Stephen McGinty
132 1 Jean-Philippe Lang
<pre>
133 25 Benoit Bénézech
echo "Post receive-hook => updating Redmine repository"
134 31 Stephen McGinty
sudo -u my_redmine_user -p secret perl -we '`cd /redmine/repositories/my_repo.git && git fetch && git reset --soft refs/remotes/origin/master`'
135 29 Burt Culver
</pre>
136
137 19 Mischa The Evil
Note the git reset, you'll *need it* to update the git tree and see your changes in the Repository view. The 'soft' option is required since it is a bare repository and the default option (mixed) will fail since there is no working tree.
138 22 Babar O'Cap

If you are using github, you can use the [[Plugin_List#Github-Hook-plugin|Github Hook Plugin]]
140
141
h4. Bare repository on Windows
142
143
If your bare repository is install on *Windows*, adding :
144 33 Beau Simensen
<pre>;%GIT_PATH%\cmd;%GIT_PATH%\bin;</pre> to your %%PATH%% environment variable.
145
Where %%GIT_PATH%% is the install directory of Git (eg: _C:/Git_)
146
147
h4. Setting up a mirror repository (shortcut, tracking branches)
148
149
The method above works fine under most circumstances but it can take a lot of tweaking to get certain things working if you have more than just a master branch. More information on the problem and the solution can be found on this "Stack Overflow question":http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4698649/how-do-i-get-a-remote-tracking-branch-to-stay-up-to-date-with-remote-origin-in-a.
150
151
This method will help to keep branches from the repository's origin updated and visible in Redmine's repository browser. This is really only relevant if the local copy of the repository is only being used as a read-only copy specifically for Redmine's use. For example, the project is hosted on GitHub but Redmine is being used for issue tracking.
152
153
<pre>

$ pwd
155
/var/redmine/git_repositories
156
$ git clone --mirror git://github.com/ook/donebox.git donebox.git

This method relies on the @--mirror@ option available for the git clone command. This option may not be available to older versions of git. In that case, please reference the "Stack Overflow question":http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4698649/how-do-i-get-a-remote-tracking-branch-to-stay-up-to-date-with-remote-origin-in-a for some ideas on how to setup this type of mirror functionality without using the @--mirror@ option.

h3. Mercurial repository
175
176 19 Mischa The Evil
To synchronize with a Mercurial repository, you will have to have a local clone of the repository on the same server you have Redmine installed on. Let's say you put Redmine in /var/www/redmine.example.com/www and have put your mercurial repository in /var/www/sources.example.com/repo/example, you would have to select *Mercurial* as a SCM, then enter */var/www/sources.example.com/repo/example* in the repository text box.
177
178 1 Jean-Philippe Lang
This will start checking out the Mercurial repository, and you won't see the results straight away. Wait for a few seconds (or possibly minutes), and click the *Repository* tab of your project (not of your configuration settings). You should now see the results appear.
179 47 Simen Endsjø
180
Redmine does not synchronize (push/pull) external repositories, but you can set up a script to do this before fetching updates. 
181
hgsync.sh:
182
<pre>
183
#!/bin/bash
184
for file in /var/www/sources.example.com/*; do
185
   if [ -d $file ]; then
186
      cd $file; hg pull -u
187
   fi
188
done
189
</pre>
190 26 David Muir
191
h3. Bazaar repository
192
193
Put in the full path to your repository in "Root directory"
194
i.e. /home/username/bzr/repo/trunk
195
196
197
You'll need to make sure that bzr and bzrlib can be found in ENV['PATH'] and ENV['PYTHONPATH'] respectively.
198
ie. edit config/environment.rb and add:
199
200
<pre>
201 19 Mischa The Evil
ENV['PYTHONPATH'] = '/path/to/pythonlib'
202 1 Jean-Philippe Lang
ENV['PATH'] = "#{ENV['PATH']}:/path/to/bzr/bin"

h2. Repository user-mapping
207
208 41 alan blount
In the project -> settings -> repository there is a link called users (on the lower right). 
209
210
That allows you to map users that have commits to the users in redmine. If the login name / email matches the mapping is automatic, otherwise you need to establish the map of repository users to redmine users. 
211
212
This is required for time tracking to work.
