Cloning All Gerrit Repos

I'm doing this with the myrepos perl script. I started down the path of reimplementing a good chunk of functionality of myrepos before realizing my mistake and generating a config file instead :)

To generate the config file I used this beauty:

while read repo; do
    printf '[%s]\n%s\n\n' "${repo}.git" "checkout = git clone --mirror https://gerrit-replica.wikimedia.org/r/${repo}"

done < <(curl -sL https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/projects/?all | \

What nobody tells you about documentation

https://www.divio.com/blog/documentation/

Documentation makes your project more successful

• If your project is poorly documented
  • Folks won’t use your software
  • Folks will misuse your software, even if they’re forced to use it (see also rsync)

There is no 1 documentation: there are 4 things

How to do a code review

Notes from Google’s Engineering Practices documentation

Terms

• CL: Stands for “changelist,” which means one self-contained change that has been submitted to version control or which is undergoing code review. Other organizations often call this a “change” or a “patch.”
• LGTM: Means “Looks Good to Me.” It is what a code reviewer says
