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()`, `bisect_skip()`.

 There were some commits that retire all the subcommands which means that the subcommand is not further used in the shell script and needs to be removed from the bisect-helper.c file and those subcommands are as follows:

 `--bisect-clean-state`, `--next-all`, `--check-expected-revs`, `--write-terms`, `--bisect-write`, `--bisect_autostart`, `--bisect-autonext`, `--check-and-set-terms`.

 Now there are two shell functions left that needs to be converted to C program in bisect.c file. Those two functions are:

 `bisect_visualize()` and `bisect_run()`.


After the conversion of these two functions, I will move towards the second task that is fixing how `git bisect` handle many merge bases.
Thank you,
HAVE A GREAT WEEK.

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...

Hey folks, My internship is about to end in a week. I have learnt so many new technicalities. I loved my internship period. I will always remember this as a worth experience of my life. Talking about my project. I have successfully submitted my second patch series. Git mailing list link: https://public-inbox.org/git/ The changes that are introduced in the second  patch series are as follows: ## Changes since pranit’s v15 patch series #### bisect--helper: refer `branch.buf` before `strbuf_release(...)` #### bisect--helper: change `retval` to `res` #### bisect--helper: `decide_next()` helper function. #### bisect--helper: `bisect_next` and `bisect_auto_next` shell function in C ##### Divided this commit into nine commits 1. bisect.c: libify `exit_if_skipped_commits` to `error_if_skipped...` 2. bisect.c: libify `bisect_checkout` and its dependants 3. bisect.c: libify `check_merge_bases` and its dependents. 4. bisect.c: libify `check_good_are_ance...
