DESCRIPTION
salsa is a designed to create and configure repositories on <https://salsa.debian.org> and
manage users of groups.
A Salsa token is required, except for search* commands, and must be set in command line
(see below), or in your configuration file (~/.devscripts):
SALSA_TOKEN=abcdefghi
or
SALSA_TOKEN=`cat ~/.token`
or
SALSA_TOKEN_FILE=~/.dpt.conf
If you choose to link another file using SALSA_TOKEN_FILE, it must contain a line with one
of (no differences):
<anything>SALSA_PRIVATE_TOKEN=xxxx
<anything>SALSA_TOKEN=xxxx
This allows for example to use dpt(1) configuration file (~/.dpt.conf) which contains:
DPT_SALSA_PRIVATE_TOKEN=abcdefghi
COMMANDS
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 or 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 repos
salsa co --all # All your repos
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
Delete a repository.
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:
"master" branch (or whatever is set to debian-branch in gbp.conf)
"upstream" branch (or whatever is set to upstream-branch in gbp.conf)
"pristine-tar" branch
tags named "debian/*" (or whatever is set to debian-tag in gbp.conf)
tags named "upstream/*" (or whatever is set to upstream-tag in gbp.conf)
all tags, if the package's source format is "3.0 (native)"
ls or 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*
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
Other example:
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:
using GitLab API: salsa will detect from where this project was forked
using "upstream" origin
else salsa will use source project as destination project
To force salsa to use source project as destination project, you can use "same":
salsa mr --mr-dst-project same
# or
salsa mr same
New merge request will be created using last commit title and description.
See --mr-* options for more.
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.
Set protection
# project branch merge push
salsa --group js-team protect_branch node-mongodb master m d
"merge" and "push" can be one of:
o, owner: owner only
m, maintainer: o + maintainers allowed
d, developer: m + developers allowed
r, reporter: d + reporters allowed
g, guest: r + guest allowed
Unprotect
salsa --group js-team protect_branch node-mongodb master no
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:
gets project name using debian/changelog file;
launches git remote add upstream ...;
launches create_repo;
pushes local repo.
Examples:
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 and --all 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 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.
OPTIONS
General options
-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
Add or replace default configuration files ("/etc/devscripts.conf" and
"~/.devscripts"). This can only be used as the first option given on the command-line.
replace:
salsa --conf-file test.conf <command>...
salsa --conf-file test.conf --conf-file test2.conf <command>...
add:
salsa --conf-file +test.conf <command>...
salsa --conf-file +test.conf --conf-file +test2.conf <command>...
If one --conf-file has no "+", default configuration files are ignored.
--no-conf, --noconf
Don't read any configuration files. This can only be used as the first option given on
the command-line.
--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"
--help: displays this manpage
