adamrogas/nugetgallery

A simple ASP.NET MVC implementation of the NuGet back-end gallery and web APIs.

NuGet Gallery - Where packages are found

This is an implementation of the NuGet Gallery and API. This serves as the back-end and community website for the NuGet client. For information about the NuGet clients, visit http://nuget.codeplex.com/

Build and Run the Gallery in (arbitrary number) easy steps

1. Prerequisites. Install these if you don't already have them:

2. Visual Studio 2012

3. PowerShell 2.0 (comes with Windows 7+)

4. NuGet

5. Windows Azure SDK v1.8 or later

6. (Optional, for unit tests) xUnit for Visual Studio 2012

7. Clone it!

   git clone [email protected]:NuGet/NuGetGallery.git

8. Build it! (from PowerShell)

   cd NuGetGallery
   .\Build-Solution.ps1
   

9. Create the Database!

10. Open Visual Studio 2012

11. Open the Package Manager Console window

12. Open the NuGetGallery.sln solution from the root of this repository. Important: Make sure the Package Manager Console has been opened once before you open the solution. If the solution was already open, open the package manager console and then close and re-open the solution (from the file menu)

13. Run the following command in the Package Manager Console:

    Update-Database
    

14. Set up the website in IIS Express!

15. We highly recommend using IIS Express. Use the Web Platform Installer to install it if you don't have it already (it comes with recent versions of VS and WebMatrix though)

16. In an ADMIN powershell prompt, run the Scripts\Enable-LocalTestMe.ps1 file. It allows non-admins to host websites at: http://nuget.localtest.me, it configures an IIS Express site at that URL and creates a self-signed SSL certificate. For more information on localtest.me, check out readme.localtest.me

17. If you're having trouble, go to the Project Properties for the Website project, click on the Web tab and change the URL to localhost:port where port is some port number above 1024.

That's it! You should now be able to press Ctrl-F5 to run the site!

The Git Workflow

This is the Git workflow we're currently using:

Setting up

1. Clone and checkout the following branches (to make sure local copies are made): 'dev', 'dev-start'

When starting a new feature/unit of work.

1. Pull the latest. Begin by pulling to make sure you are up-to-date before creating a branch to do your work This assumes you have no local commits that haven't yet been pushed (i.e., that you were previously up-to-date with origin).

   git checkout dev-start
   git pull dev-start
   

2. Create a topic branch to do your work. You must work in topic branches, in order to help us keep our features isolated and easily moved between branches. Our policy is to start all topic branches off of the 'dev-start' branch. Branch names should use the following format '[user]-[bugnumber]-[shortdescription]'. If there is no bug yet, create one and assign it to yourself!

   git checkout dev-start
   git checkout -b anurse-123-makesuckless
   

3. Do your work. Now, do your work using the following highly accurate and efficient algorithm :)

   1. Make changes.

   2. Test your changes (you're practicing TDD, right?)

   3. Add your changes to git's index.

       git add -A
      

   4. Commit your changes.

       git commit -m "<description of work>"
      

   5. if (moreWorkToDo) go to #3.1 else go to #4.

4. Start a code review. Start a code review by pushing your branch up to GitHub (git push origin anurse-123-makesuckless) and creating a Pull Request from your branch to dev. Wait for at least someone on the team to respond with: ":shipit:" (that's called the "Ship-It Squirrel" and you can put it in your own comments by typing :shipit:).

5. Merge your changes in to dev. Click the bright green "Merge" button on your pull request! NOTE: DO NOT DELETE THE TOPIC BRANCH!!

   If there isn't a bright green button... well, you'll have to do some more complicated merging:

   git checkout dev
   git pull origin dev
   git merge anurse-123-makesuckless
   ... resolve conflicts ...
   git push origin dev
   

6. Be ready to guide your change through QA, Staging and Master Your change will make its way through the QA, Staging and finally Master branches as it's deployed to the various environments. Be prepared to fix additional bugs!

NOTE: DO NOT DELETE THE TOPIC BRANCH!!
