Getting started

Prerequisites

gitbase optional dependencies that should be running on your system if you're planning on using certain functionality.

  • bblfsh >= 2.10.0 (only if you're planning to use the UAST functionality provided in gitbase)

Installing gitbase

The easiest way to run the gitbase server is using Docker; However, you have the options of using the binary or installing from source.

Running with Docker

You can use the official image from docker hub to quickly run gitbase:

docker run --rm --name gitbase -p 3306:3306 -v /my/git/repos:/opt/repos srcd/gitbase:latest

Note: remember to replace /my/git/repos with the local path where your repositories are stored in your computer.

If you want to use bblfsh with running in Docker you can do so by linking the 2 containers. Fist you need to start following the bblfsh quick start. After that you can run gitbase using:

docker run --rm --name gitbase -p 3306:3306 --link bblfshd:bblfshd -e BBLFSH_ENDPOINT=bblfshd:9432 -v /my/git/repos/go:/opt/repos srcd/gitbase:latest

Download and use the binary

Check the Releases page to download the gitbase binary.

For more info about command line arguments, go here.

You can start a server by providing a path which contains multiple git repositories with this command:

gitbase server -v -d /path/to/repositories

Note: remember to replace /path/to/repositories with the local path where your repositories are stored in your computer.

Installing from source

On Linux and macOS:

go get -u github.com/src-d/gitbase/...

Oniguruma support

On linux and macOS you can choose to build gitbase with oniguruma support, resulting in faster results for queries using the language UDF.

macOS:

brew install oniguruma

Linux:

  • Debian-based distros:
sudo apt-get install libonig2 libonig-dev
  • Arch linux:
pacman -S oniguruma

Then build gitbase like this:

go build -tags oniguruma -o gitbase ./cmd/gitbase/main.go

Note: prebuilt binaries do not include oniguruma support.

On Windows:

Because gitbase uses bblfsh's client-go, which uses cgo, you need to install some dependencies by hand instead of just using go get. Use this instead:

go get -d github.com/src-d/gitbase
cd $GOPATH/src/github.com/src-d/gitbase
make dependencies

Connecting to the server

When the gitbase server is started a MySQL client is needed to connect to the server. For example:

$ mysql -q -u root -h 127.0.0.1
MySQL [(none)]> SELECT commit_hash, commit_author_email, commit_author_name FROM commits LIMIT 2;
SELECT commit_hash, commit_author_email, commit_author_name FROM commits LIMIT 2;
+------------------------------------------+---------------------+-----------------------+
| commit_hash                              | commit_author_email | commit_author_name    |
+------------------------------------------+---------------------+-----------------------+

If you're using a MySQL client version 8.0 or higher, see the following section to solve some problems you may encounter.

Troubleshooting

ERROR 2012 (HY000): Client asked for auth caching_sha2_password, but server wants auth mysql_native_password

As of MySQL 8.0 the default authentication method is caching_sha2_password instead of mysql_native_password. You can solve this using the following command instead:

mysql -q -u root -h 127.0.0.1 --default-auth=mysql_native_password
