Lua module files for crane.unl.edu (EL8)
The workflow is to create a new branch for each module file to be added/changed, which will then later get merged into the master branch.
If you don't have a copy of the repo, clone it first:
git clone [email protected]:hcc/crane-modules-el8.git
If you've already cloned it, do a pull to make sure you're up to date:
git checkout master
git pull
Next, create a branch to add the new package module (or changes to an existing module) to.
Good practice is to name the branch with the package name and version; for example, mypackage-1.0.
Create the new branch via the checkout command:
git checkout -b mypackage-1.0
Make whatever changes you need to.
If you are adding a new modulefile, you must add it to the repo before committing:
git add <modulefile>
It's a good idea to test out the new/edited modules before committing them. To do this, change the directory Lmod is using from the system-wide one to your local repo:
module unuse /util/opt/modulefiles/Core
module use ~/crane-modules-el8/Core
export MODULEPATH_ROOT=~/crane-modules-el8
Now you can test out any changes local to your account.
Then commit the changes to your local repo:
git commit -a
Then push the new branch back up:
git push origin mypackage-1.0
An automated test job will be triggered that does a couple of sanity checks. If it fails, fix the problem, commit the changes to your branch and push it again.
Once it passes, on the https://git.unl.edu/hcc/crane-modules-el8 page, create a Merge Request
from the mypackage-1.0 branch to the master branch.
Once the new branch has been merged, switch back to master and do a pull:
git checkout master
git pull
Your local copy of the branch can then be safely deleted:
git branch -d mypackage-1.0
Once the Merge Request is done, jobs will automatically run to update the XML file and the production module files. The new module(s) should then show up.
