CMake/Git/Dashboard

This page documents how to use the CMake dashboard branch in Git. See our table of contents 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/CMakeScripts $ cd ~/Dashboards/CMakeScripts $ git init $ git remote add -t dashboard origin https://cmake.org/cmake.git $ git pull origin

The cmake_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 origin

Nightly Start Time

The cmake_common.cmake script expects its includer to be run from a nightly scheduled task (cron job). Schedule such tasks for sometime after 1:00am UTC, the time at which the nightly branch fast-forwards.
