The primary source code management system for the Mu2e Offline software is a [http://git-scm.com/ git] repository that is hosted on the Fermilab [https://cdcvs.fnal.gov/redmine Redmine] site.  Git is a popular open-source software version control system and Redmine is a software project management system which contains, for each project, a log, a wiki (which may contain useful info), and possibly gantt charts and bug tracking along with the git respositories.
 
Based on the git repository's url, you can check out code, and, if you are a code developer, check in modifications. 
'''NB''', when committing code, please follow these [[#gitCommit|mu2e conventions]] only.  Git also has capabilities for tagging code, tracking history and supports splitting off and merging development branches, among many other features.
 
Depending on your experience or needs, please also see the basic [[CodeRecipe|code recipe]].  You can continue with the [[#quickStart|quick start]] on this page or the expanded git [[GitIntro|introduction page]].
See [[#References|the references]] for more details on Redmine and git.
 
Some older parts of Mu2e software is managed using [https://cdcvs.fnal.gov/redmine/projects/mu2eofflinesoftwaremu2eoffline/wiki/Revision_Control_Systems other source code management systems].  Some code, both critical and specialized, is in other, smaller repositories.  See [[#Repositories|Repositories]] below for more details on repositories.

==Quick Start==
 
Please also see the basic [[CodeRecipe|code recipe]] for an introduction to setting up the environment, checking out code and building.
 
If you are going to commit anything, you must understand and follow the [[#gitCommits|mu2e commit instructions]]
 
If this is the first time you are using git in the mu2e environment, please follow the [[GitIntro#configuringGit|few steps]] listed in order to set up your preferences in ~.gitconfig.
 
A more detailed introduction to all mu2e repositories is [https://cdcvs.fnal.gov/redmine/projects/mu2eofflinesoftwaremu2eoffline/wiki/Revision_Control_Systems here] and our introduction to git is [[GitIntro|here]].
 
* checkout the main repository
** readonly: <pre>git clone http://cdcvs.fnal.gov/projects/mu2eofflinesoftwaremu2eoffline/Offline.git</pre>
** with kerberos authentication for committing code <pre>git clone ssh://p-mu2eofflinesoftwaremu2eoffline@cdcvs.fnal.gov/cvs/projects/mu2eofflinesoftwaremu2eoffline/Offline.git</pre>
* checkout the head to a local working branch, here named "work" (recommended)
<pre>git checkout -b work</pre>
* see the history of a file
<pre>git log fileSpec</pre>
* list tags
<pre>git tag -l</pre>
* checkout a tag or branch or commit hash into the working area.  Use this to switch between branches, it will NOT overwrite your work.
<pre>git checkout tagOrBranchNameorHash </pre>
* update the local repository to the origin repository (Redmine)
<pre>git fetch</pre>
* update the local repository to changes staged in the working area (does not affect the origin repository)
<pre>git commit -m"'Your descriptive message'"</pre>
* update the origin repository (Redmine) to changes in your local repository
<pre>git push</pre>
* update the local repository to the origin repository (REDMINE)
<pre>git fetch</pre>
* update the working area to the local repository
<pre>git merge</pre>
* update the local repository and update the working area both together
<pre>git pull</pre>
* merge a branch (including master) into your branch. NB: do NOT merge your branch into master unless authorized
<pre>git checkout otherbranch
git pull
git checkout mybranch
git pull
git checkout mybranch
git merge otherbranch</pre>
* see what the status is
<pre>git status</pre>
* command line help
<pre>git status help</pre>
* git browser (to see a graphical history of commits)
<pre>gitk --all</pre>
 
 
Please see the references below or many web resources for details on git concepts, commands and features.
If you are going to commit anything, you must understand and follow the [[#gitCommits|commit workflows]].
 
<div id="gitCommits">
 
==Workflows for committing code==
 
As the group of mu2e code developers grows at the same time that the need for a stable code base increases, individual code contributions may start to clash with other contributions, so we are using a "request to pull" procedure.  In this procedure, the developer does code development on a git branch and commits that branch to the repository frequently.  This branch does not affect other users, so it can be in any state the developer finds useful - it might not even compile. Once the developer believes the work is complete, they make a request to the Offline group heads to merge or "pull" the branch into the master branch.  If the change is very simple or low-risk, the heads may ask the developer to go ahead and do that merge.  If the change is large or complex, they may request additional documentation or testing before the pull.  The branch should be prepared so it does not have any conflicts with the head, so it can be merged with "fast forward". 
 
The procedure of developing on a branch, then requesting to merge is explained in detail on the [[GitMajorWorkflow|git  workflow page]]. 
 
If a change is very small, or planned in advance, or urgent, the Offline group heads may allow the commit to follow the [[GitMinorWorkflow|minor workflow]] which ends in a commit directly to the head of master.
 
==Repositories==
 
One important piece of the mu2e offline code is the [[BTrk]] UPS product, which contains our Kalman track fit code, and is stored in the [https://github.com/KFTrack/BTrk BTrk github repo]. 
 
All of the rest of the mu2e Offline code and tools are in Redmine repositories.
You can browse [https://cdcvs.fnal.gov/redmine/projects all Redmine projects] and
[https://cdcvs.fnal.gov/redmine/projects/mu2e mu2e Redmine].  The mu2e Redmine has subprojects (and sub-subprojects) and each has a repository associated with them.  For example in the [https://cdcvs.fnal.gov/redmine/projects/standalone Standalone] subproject, there is a sub-subproject '''[https://cdcvs.fnal.gov/redmine/projects/mu2eccfc Mu2eCCFC]'''. In addition, the main mu2e Offline repository has sub-repositories which can be seen on the right sidebar menu on the repository [https://cdcvs.fnal.gov/redmine/projects/mu2eofflinesoftwaremu2eoffline/repository main page].  An example is the '''dhtools''' sub-repo.
 
Here is a (possibly incomplete) list of the repositories.

Creating a Redmine subproject is done by the "add subproject" button on the [https://cdcvs.fnal.gov/redmine/projects/mu2e?jump=repository Redmine project web page].  This is probably more appropriate for a project not closely associated with the Offline.
Creating a sub-repository associated to the main offline repo is explained in the
[https://cdcvs.fnal.gov/redmine/projects/mu2eofflinesoftwaremu2eoffline/wiki/Making_a_git_repository_in_redmine mu2e instructions] and
[https://cdcvs.fnal.gov/redmine/projects/fermi-redmine/wiki/CreatingRepositories SCD instructions]. This is probably more appropriate for a project closely associated with the Offline.
Write privileges to each repository can be controlled by the <code>.k5login</code> contents of each group username associated with the repo - note that this file should be edited by the Redmine project web page (settings->members), not directly.  The login to the group account is controlled by the <code>.admin</code> file.
 
A git repository is accessed through a url and the url can be read-only or read/write, which allows commits back to the repo.
Taking values from the table of Redmine repos above, a repo without an alias will have read-only and read/write urls:
<nowiki>http://cdcvs.fnal.gov/projects/</nowiki>'''name'''
ssh://'''user'''@cdcvs.fnal.gov/cvs/projects/'''name'''
and if it has an alias:
<nowiki>http://cdcvs.fnal.gov/projects/</nowiki>'''name'''/'''alias'''
ssh://'''user'''@cdcvs.fnal.gov/cvs/projects/'''name'''/'''alias'''
 
A good view of all repositories can be found by logging is as one of the user names where you have write permissions:
ssh '''user'''@cdcvs.fnal.gov
The projects can be seen
cd /cvs/projects
ls -l | grep mu2e
there is one directory per repository and the username can be seen as the owner of the repository directory. If the repository has an alias, it will appear as a subdirectory or a circular link under
/cvs/projects/'''name'''
The <code>.k5login</code> file for a repository is
/home/'''name'''/.k5login
