Dashboard Scripts

This page documents how to use the VTK dashboard branch in Git. See the README for more information.

Using the Dashboard Scripts

The dashboard branch contains a dashboard client helper script. Use these commands to track it:

$ mkdir -p ~/Dashboards/VTKScripts
$ cd ~/Dashboards/VTKScripts
$ git init
$ git remote add -t dashboard origin https://gitlab.kitware.com/vtk/vtk.git
$ git pull origin

The vtk_common.cmake script contains setup instructions in its top comments.

Update the dashboard branch to get the latest version of this script by simply running:

$ git pull

Here is a link to the script as it appears today: vtk_common.cmake.

Changing the Dashboard Scripts

If you find bugs in the hooks themselves or would like to add new features, the can be edited in the usual Git manner:

$ git checkout -b my-topic-branch

Make your edits, test it, and commit the result. Create a patch file with:

$ git format-patch origin/dashboard

And post the results in the Development category in the VTK Discourse forum.
