Managing users and groups

join

Request access to a group.

  salsa join js-team
  salsa join --group js-team
  salsa join --group-id 1234
    

add_user

Add a user to a group.

  salsa --group js-group add_user guest foouser
  salsa --group-id 1234 add_user guest foouser
  salsa --group-id 1234 add_user maintainer 1245
    

First argument is the GitLab's access levels: guest, reporter, developer, maintainer, owner.

del_user

Remove a user from a group

  salsa --group js-team del_user foouser
  salsa --group-id=1234 del_user foouser
    

list_groups

List sub groups of current one if group is set, groups of current user else.

group

Show group members.

  salsa --group js-team group
  salsa --group-id 1234 group
    

search_group

Search for a group using given string. Shows group id and other information.

  salsa search_group perl-team
  salsa search_group perl-team/modules
  salsa search_group 2666
    

search_user

Search for a user using given string. Shows user id and other information.

  salsa search_user yadd
    

update_user

Update user role in a group.

  salsa --group-id 1234 update_user guest foouser
  salsa --group js-team update_user maintainer 1245
    

First argument is the GitLab's access levels: guest, reporter, developer, maintainer, owner.

whoami

Gives information on the token owner

  salsa whoami
    

Managing repositories

One of "--group", "--group-id", "--user" or "--user-id" is required to manage repositories. If both are set, salsa warns and only "--user"/"--user-id" is used. If none is given, salsa uses current user id (token owner).

check_repo

Verify that repo(s) are well configured. It works exactly like update_repo except that it does not modify anything but just lists projects not well configured with found errors.

  salsa --user yadd --tagpending --kgb --irc=devscripts check_repo test
  salsa --group js-team check_repo --all
  salsa --group js-team --rename-head check_repo test1 test2 test3
    

checkout oder co

Clone repo in current dir. If directory already exists, update local repo.

  salsa --user yadd co devscripts
  salsa --group js-team co node-mongodb
  salsa co js-team/node-mongodb
    

You can clone more than one repository or all repositories of a group or a user:

  salsa --user yadd co devscripts autodep8
  salsa co yadd/devscripts js-team/npm
  salsa --group js-team co --all           # All js-team active repos
  salsa co --all-archived                  # All your repos including archived
    

create_repo

Create public empty project. If "--group"/"--group-id" is set, project is created in group directory, else in user directory.

  salsa --user yadd create_repo test
  salsa --group js-team --kgb --irc-channel=devscripts create_repo test
    

del_repo

Löscht ein Depot.

fork

Forks a project in group/user repository and set "upstream" to original project. Example:

  $ salsa fork js-team/node-mongodb --verbose
  ...
  salsa.pl info: node-mongodb ready in node-mongodb/
  $ cd node-mongodb
  $ git remote --verbose show
  origin          git@salsa.debian.org:me/node-mongodb (fetch)
  origin          git@salsa.debian.org:me/node-mongodb (push)
  upstream        git@salsa.debian.org:js-team/node-mongodb (fetch)
  upstream        git@salsa.debian.org:js-team/node-mongodb (push)
    

For a group:

  salsa fork --group js-team user/node-foo
    

forks

List forks of project(s).

  salsa forks qa/qa debian/devscripts
    

Project can be set using full path or using --group/--group-id or --user/--user-id, else it is searched in current user namespace.

push

Push relevant packaging refs to origin Git remote. To be run from packaging working directory.

  salsa push
    

It pushes the following refs to the configured remote for the debian-branch or, falling back, to the "origin" remote:

ls oder list_repos

Shows projects owned by user or group. If second argument exists, search only matching projects

  salsa --group js-team list_repos
  salsa --user yadd list_repos foo*
    

last_ci_status or ci

Displays last continuous integration result. Use --verbose to see URL of pipeline when result isn't success. Unless --no-fail is set, salsa last_ci_status will stop on first "failed" status.

  salsa --group js-team last_ci_status --all --no-fail
  salsa --user yadd last_ci_status foo
  salsa last_ci_status js-team/nodejs
    

This commands returns the number of "failed" status found. "success" entries are displayed using STDOUT while other are displayed (with details) using STDERR. Then you can easily see only failures using:

  salsa --group js-team last_ci_status --all --no-fail >/dev/null
    

pipeline, schedule

Control pipeline schedule

pipelines, schedules

Lists current pipeline schedule items.

You can use --no-fail and --all options here.

merge_request, mr

Creates a merge request.

Suppose you created a fork using salsa fork, modify some things in a new branch using one commit and want to propose it to original project (branch "master"). You just have to launch this in source directory:

  salsa mr
    

Weiteres Beispiel:

  salsa mr --mr-dst-project debian/foo --mr-dst-branch debian/master
    

or simply

  salsa mr debian/foo debian/master
    

Note that unless destination project has been set using command line, salsa merge_request will search it in the following order:

  salsa mr --mr-dst-project same
  # or
  salsa mr same

merge_requests, mrs

List opened merge requests for project(s)

  salsa mrs qa/qa debian/devscripts
    

Project can be set using full path or using --group/--group-id or --user/--user-id, else it is searched in current user namespace.

protect_branch

Protect/unprotect a branch.

protected_branches

List protected branches

  salsa --group js-team protected_branches node-mongodb
    

push_repo

Create a new project from a local Debian source directory configured with git.

push_repo executes the following steps:

  salsa --user yadd push_repo ./test
  salsa --group js-team --kgb --irc-channel=devscripts push_repo .

rename_branch

Rename branch given in --source-branch with name given in --dest-branch. You can use --no-fail, --all and --all-archived options here.

search, search_project, search_repo

Search for a project using given string. Shows name, owner id and other information.

  salsa search devscripts
  salsa search debian/devscripts
  salsa search 18475
    

update_repo

Configure repo(s) using parameters given to command line. A repo name has to be given unless --all or --all-archived is set. Prefer to use update_safe.

  salsa --user yadd --tagpending --kgb --irc=devscripts update_repo test
  salsa --group js-team update_repo --all
  salsa --group js-team --rename-head update_repo test1 test2 test3
  salsa update_repo js-team/node-mongodb --kgb --irc debian-js
    

By default when using --all, salsa will fail on first error. If you want to continue, set --no-fail. In this case, salsa will display a warning for each project that has fail but continue with next project. Then to see full errors, set --verbose.

update_safe

Launch check_repo and ask before launching update_repo (unless --yes).

  salsa --user yadd --tagpending --kgb --irc=devscripts update_safe test
  salsa --group js-team update_safe --all
  salsa --group js-team --rename-head update_safe test1 test2 test3
  salsa update_safe js-team/node-mongodb --kgb --irc debian-js
    

Other

purge_cache

Empty local cache.

Allgemeine Optionen

-C, --chdir

Change directory before launching command

  salsa -C ~/debian co debian/libapache2-mod-fcgid
    

--cache-file

File to store cached values. Default to ~/.cache/salsa.json. An empty value disables cache.

".devscripts" value: SALSA_CACHE_FILE

--no-cache

Disable cache usage. Same as --cache-file ''

--conffile, --conf-file

Standard-Konfigurationsdateien hinzufügen oder ersetzen ("/etc/devscripts.conf" und "~/.devscripts"). Dies kann nur als erste auf der Befehlszeile angegebene Option benutzt werden.

--no-conf, --noconf

liest keine Konfigurationsdateien. Dies kann nur als erste auf der Befehlszeile angegebene Option benutzt werden.

--debug

Enable debugging output

--group

Team to use. Use "salsa search_group name" to find it.

If you want to use a subgroup, you have to set its full path:

  salsa --group perl-team/modules/packages check_repo lemonldap-ng
    

".devscripts" value: SALSA_GROUP

Be careful when you use SALSA_GROUP in your ".devscripts" file. Every salsa command will be executed in group space, for example if you want to propose a little change in a project using salsa fork + salsa mr, this "fork" will be done in group space unless you set a --user/--user-id. Prefer to use an alias in your ".bashrc" file. Example:

  alias jsteam_admin="salsa --group js-team"
    

or

  alias jsteam_admin="salsa --conf-file ~/.js.conf
    

or to use both .devscripts and .js.conf:

  alias jsteam_admin="salsa --conf-file +~/.js.conf
    

then you can fix SALSA_GROUP in "~/.js.conf"

To enable bash completion for your alias, add this in your .bashrc file:

  _completion_loader salsa
  complete -F _salsa_completion jsteam_admin
    

--group-id

Group id to use. Use "salsa search_group name" to find it.

".devscripts" value: SALSA_GROUP_ID

Be careful when you use SALSA_GROUP_ID in your ".devscripts" file. Every salsa command will be executed in group space, for example if you want to propose a little change in a project using salsa fork + salsa mr, this "fork" will be done in group space unless you set a --user/--user-id. Prefer to use an alias in your ".bashrc" file. Example:

  alias jsteam_admin="salsa --group-id 2666"
    

or

  alias jsteam_admin="salsa --conf-file ~/.js.conf
    

then you can fix SALSA_GROUP_ID in "~/.js.conf"
