maishsk/openstack-git-env repository overview

One of the most daunting and complicated things people find when trying to provide feedback and suggestions to the OpenStack community, projects and code – is the nuts and bolts of actually getting this done.

There are a number of tutorials around. The official kind - HowTo for FirstTimers⁠, Documentation HowTo⁠, Gerrit Workflow⁠.

This container provides the environment with all that you need to start contributing to the OpenStack project.

The container is an interactive one and will default to a bash command when run.

You will need to provide 4 variables to the container at run time.

1. GIT_USERNAME "Your Name"
2. GIT_EMAIL "[email protected]⁠"
3. GERRIT_USERNAME yourusername
4. GERRIT_HTTP_PASSWORD secretpassword

If these variables are not set - then the container will not start.

For more details on how to find those variable please follow the steps in this blog post⁠.
