Week 2 - Getting Started with the "Improve git-bisect" GIT project

-
Hi everyone,

I am thoroughly enjoying my work with GIT. It is a wonderful experience with such mentors, who are always there to help me out, whenever I am stuck in the project.

So, here is a brief about the work done this week.

First of all, let me tell you that I have been working on “Converting git-bisect.sh file to the bisect.c program”. This project was undertaken earlier by a GSoC participant [Pranit Bauva], he was halfway through the project and now I am here to proceed with the project further.

So, firstly I started off by getting the last patch series of Pranit Bauva as commits in my git repo : [https://github.com/tanushree27/git ] based on an old master branch and I had made sure that all the tests pass. Then based on an old master branch, I rebased it to a current version of master and then made sure that all tests pass again. After that, I had a look at what were the reviews/comments people made about the patch series and then tried to address those comments.

I have resolved all the pending unresolved patches of part2 series. I also made sure that all tests pass and now the patches are up for review on Github. After some reviews leading to improvements, the commits will probably be in a good enough shape to be sent to the mailing list.

 You can find my work here:

Hello everyone, I am very pleased to welcome you all to read my this week's blog which is just for you. Last two weeks were very busy for me and hope for you to as there was Christmas as well as New Year Celebrations back to back. I was quite busy with my internship work also. I'm glad to tell you that I have successfully submitted my first patch series in the Git Mailing List. You can find the link below. Link: https://public-inbox.org/git/pull.101.v17.git.gitgitgadget@gmail.com/#t It’s been a great experience working with the Git mailing List aspects and getting to know some interesting facts about it. Now, coming to the objective behind this blog. Basically, I will introduce you to my community and some concepts I have learned so far in this internship with my GIT Community . What kind of people participate in your community? Most of you must be aware of GIT (A stand-alone,open-source project and Github makes money by hosting git repositories). But for those who a...

Week 8 & 9 - Project progress

Hi folks, I am very happy that my project "Improve git-bisect" is going well. I have learned so many git and C programming aspects that are great benefit altogether. Coming on to the progress of the project so far: I have completed the first internship task which is about finishing Pranit Bauva's GSoC work on converting `git bisect` from shell to C. And I am almost near to converting `git bisect` from shell to C completely. Pranit has converted many shell functions to C which were needed to be resolved, after the mentors and git mailing list reviewer's views. So, I resolved all the reviews that were present in the git mailing list and confirmed that all tests pass. These functions are as follows: ` bisect_reset() `,` bisect_write() `, ` check_and_set_terms() `, ` bisect_next_check() `, ` get_terms() `, ` bisect_terms() `, ` bisect_start() `, ` bisect_autostart() `, ` bisect_state() `, ` bisect-head() `, ` bisect_log() `, ` bisect_replay() `, ` bise...
