git-server | A git-server with a REST API and backed by Gitolite | Version Control System library

I'm using the below command to clone one branch:

For my ETL scripts I am using a continuous development infrastructure: if the test workflow is successful, it means that it can be pushed into production and then be run during the night, if the test is not successful then the changes are not pushed but the production scripts still run.

So far I am manually rebasing my test branch to my master branch every time I make a successful change. I would like to automate this so that, once the test pipeline job is complete and successful, Jenkins automatically rebase the master branch on the test branch and push it on the remote repository.

Here's my current jenkins pipeline code mock-up (Jenkinsfile_test):

We are using the official Jenkins docker image to run Jenkins serverless. The docker image contains a install-plugins.sh script that can be fed with a list of plugins and their versions, and is run during the image build.

Although Jenkins warns about outdated plugins in the admin backend, is there any way to update that list (format) easily?

The plugin list format looks like

I am trying to setup a git server with stagit for the front end, git-http-backend for the back and using nginx between everything. I've found a config that works on my server in this answer (and by works, I mean nginx will serve html to any connection through a web browser, but lets me clone a repository if I use git clone https://git.website.com/test.git.

The problem I'm having, is that when I push this repository (whether that be from the server itself, or from my local computer) with an origin of https://git.website.com/test.git I receive a 403 error and I'm not sure why. Any ideas?

I have a VPS (Windows Server 2016) and ran a SSH server on it with OpenSSH for windows. I would run a git server on this VPS so i searched for some tutorials in google and found this. The tutorial for configuring the server side settings is okay and i created a bare git repository. I would connect to the git server with my own computer using SSH public key, but it wants password from me! I tried to save my public generated key from my own PC (without passphrase) in /.ssh/authorized_keys file in server but it didn't worked. When i use this git clone user@IP_ADDRESS: command to clone the existing repository from the server it keeps telling me that i should enter a password:

I accidentally manage to create a completely detached branch in the beginning of the project, and I would like to completely remove it, both from the local and the server repositories.

I am not sure how this happens, but I think the process went something like this:

1. I created an empty repository on our git-server (via the web interface). I think it is running gitlab, but it may be some other open source server.
2. One of my collaborators made commits to his own branch and pushed them.
3. I then made commits to master and pushed them.

Probably I did something stupid when pushing without first pulling or something. Most likely I forced something as well, but it was quite a long time ago so I cannot remember exactly.

I have attached a screenshot from Sourcetree where the first commits in each branch is seen. The blue branch (named something else) is the main branch we have been working on. The red one (called master) is completely useless.

My question is, how can I completely remove the master branch? Preferably I would like to actually delete the commit (it is just nonsense). Also, I would like to be able to rename our current branch to "master".

Is there a way to do this?
