The wiki is being retired!

Documentation is now handled by the same processes we use for code: Add something to the Documentation/ directory in the coreboot repo, and it will be rendered to https://doc.coreboot.org/. Contributions welcome!

Gerrit

As part of our move to gerrit, git was introduced as primary SCM.

Register with gerrit

For authenticated access (to submit patches) you'll need a gerrit account which you can register at http://review.coreboot.org/. You also need to add your ssh keys (which are used for authenticating your connections to the repo) and your email addresses (used to match up signed-off-by: statements) to your gerrit user data at http://review.coreboot.org/#settings

Anonymous read access

Read-only access is available anonymously:

git clone http://review.coreboot.org/p/coreboot

Authenticated read/write access

git clone ssh://<username>@review.coreboot.org:29418/coreboot

Inside the checkout you should install the commit-msg hook which prepares commit messages to fit the style required by gerrit. This needs to happen only once per clone and can be done with

wget -O .git/hooks/commit-msg http://review.coreboot.org/tools/hooks/commit-msg

pushing changes

When you committed your changes locally, you can push them to the server using

 git push origin HEAD:refs/for/master

This will create a review request per commit on gerrit.

For automating some aspects of patch submission (ie. simplify the command line), see the last paragraph of http://review.coreboot.org/Documentation/user-upload.html#push_create

Browsing

There is no code browser that's properly synced with our gerrit instance at this time. This is a work in progress.
