GitLab migration status and next steps

[Gerald Combs <gerald () wireshark org>]

I'm still planning on migrating our code review system (Gerrit) and bug tracker (Bugzilla) to GitLab on Sunday, August 
23rd. Gerrit and Bugzilla will be made read-only as part of the migration.

If you want to contribute code, open or comment on issues, or edit the wiki you will need to create an account at 
https://gitlab.com/users/sign_up.

If you want to edit the wiki you must also request access to the Wiki Editors group at 
https://gitlab.com/wireshark/wiki-editors. Detailed instructions can be found at

https://gitlab.com/wireshark/wireshark/wikis/HowToEdit

If you want to contribute code you must also do the following:

1) Go to https://gitlab.com/wireshark/wireshark/ and press "Fork". This will create your own personal Wireshark 
repository.

2) Add remotes for the main repository and your personal repository:

$ git remote add upstream git () gitlab com:wireshark/wireshark.git
$ git remote add downstream git () gitlab com:myusername/wireshark.git

3) Make a test merge request (optional):

$ git checkout -b my-branch-name upstream/master
<change something>
$ git commit ...
$ git push downstream HEAD
# Go to https://gitlab.com/wireshark/wireshark/merge_requests.
# You should see a button that lets you create a merge request.

I've scheduled Developer Den / Post-migration help and discussion Zoom meetings for both Monday and Tuesday. Monday's 
invitation is attached. I'll send Tuesday's in a reply to this email.
