| |
| This page outlines the steps that need to be done to create a new golang.org/x repository, in order for it to have the same properties as all existing golang.org/x repositories: |
| - a golang.org/x redirect |
| - automatic git mirroring from Gerrit to GitHub |
| - automatic importing of GitHub PRs into Gerrit CLs |
| - automatic testing on appropriate Go builders |
| |
| ## Steps |
| |
| 1. Create a new empty Gerrit repository at https://go.googlesource.com, complete with a description. |
| - Create an initial commit with `LICENSE`, `PATENTS`, `CONTRIBUTING.md`, and `README.md` files and push it directly to the Gerrit repository. See [example commit](https://go.googlesource.com/govulncheck-action/+/a197ae39e55573b3a0e752b9bd72f457a458adf6). |
| - See the internal team instructions at go/go-gerrit#new-repository for how to create a repository. |
| 2. Create a [new empty GitHub repository](https://github.com/organizations/golang/repositories/new) at https://github.com/golang with the same name and description. |
| - Turn off Wikis, Issues, Projects in repository settings. |
| - On "Manage access" tab: |
| - Add "golang org admins" team with Admin access. |
| - Add "google-go-team" team with Write access. |
| - Add "robots" team with Write access (can only be done by a maintainer of golang organization; ask someone else if you're not). |
| 3. Modify the [`x/build/repos`](https://golang.org/x/build/repos) package. |
| - Also modify the [`x/build/devapp/owners`](https://dev.golang.org/owners) to include the owner(s) of the new repository. (Both can be updated in one CL.) |
| 4. Modify the [`PROJECTS` map](https://cs.opensource.google/go/x/build/+/luci-config:main.star;l=644-675;drc=67d27da0c4496ee84405c96517dfdaaf4e960cfc) on [luci-config](https://cs.opensource.google/go/x/build/+/luci-config:README) branch. |
| 5. Update x/website's version of x/build to include modified `x/build/repos` package. |
| - `x/website/cmd/golangorg` will [deploy automatically](https://go.googlesource.com/website#deploying) on CL submission. |
| 6. Redeploy all affected commands (or ask an x/build [owner](https://dev.golang.org/owners) to deploy if you're not; the order shouldn't matter): |
| 1. `x/build/cmd/gitmirror` |
| 2. `x/build/maintner/maintnerd` |
| - Note that it's expected for the new repo not to appear in maintner until first issue or PR is created (see [#25744](https://go.dev/issue/25744)). |
| 3. `x/build/cmd/gerritbot` |
| 4. `x/build/devapp` |
| 6. You're done. |
