Can't run any git commands in $GERRIT_SITE/git folder

Question

I have gerrit installed.

When a project is created through the gerrit web UI, the project is reflected in the $GERRIT_SITE/git folder.

For instance if a project trial is created on gerrit, a trial.git folder is created in $GERRIT_SITE/git folder.

But when I try to run any git commands in $GERRIT_SITE/git/trial.git folder such as follows, I get the following error:

$ git status
fatal: This operation must be run in a work tree

I do not know how to go about this and would need some guidance.

Answer 1

原因是您在磁盘上找到的是裸存储库，没有工作树（即特定分支的文件）。对于Git服务器来说这是完全正常的，一旦克隆了存储库，就会在.git/目录中找到相同的内容。

EDIT 当您将repo的路径指定为GIT_DIR环境变量的参数时，您可以使用这些裸存储库在服务器端工作：

GIT_DIR=/var/gerrit/review/git/trial.git/ git log --quiet --pretty=medium

这是特别的。使用Gerrit Hooks做某事，合并新更改等时很有帮助。
