How Fast is Git?

The web is full of benchmarks showing the supernatural speed of Git even with very big repositories, but unfortunately they use the wrong variable. Size is not important, but the number of files in the repository really is!

Why is that? Well, that's because Git works in a very different way compared to Synergy. You don't have to checkout a file in order to edit it; Git will do that for you automatically. But at what price?

The price is that for every Git operation that requires to know which files changed (git status, git commmit, etc etc) an lstat() call will be executed for every single file

Wow! So how does that perform on a fairly large repository? Let's find out! For this example I will use an example project, which has 19384 files in 1326 folders.

Getting started:

Polling Searches on GHE

How can you determine what is polling your GitHub Enterprise system? If you suspect polling, this data will help you pinpoint where it is coming from. Don't just tell your users "stop polling", get the data and tell them where it is coming from.

Number of requests in 10 minute intervals

When reviewed over a 24-hour period, consistent numbers in non-peak hours indicates likely polling with short intervals. Longer polling intervals also stand out, often as a burst of high traffic each hour on the hour.

$ cut -c 1-15 /var/log/babeld/babeld.log | uniq -c

Perform a Mass Find-and-Replace in a GitHub Enterprise Wiki

If you have a need to update text/string in your GitHub Enterprise wiki, and you have many wikis where manual find-and-replace can be tedious, one way to perform a mass update is to clone your wiki (as a git repository) to a local workspace and perform find-and-replace.

Here is an example of using the Unix-based sed command to perform a find-and-replace:

Access your repository's wiki site. Example: https://git.521000.bestpany.com/OWNER/REPO/wiki

Git Remote Branch Sync

There are some folks who want to keep their local git branch list to be in sync with the branches available on the remote. This typically happens after a Pull Request on GitHub Enterprise, when the remote branch is merged and removed, but the branch still exists locally.

To clean up the branches that no longer exist on the remote, there are a couple of options (as well as more that are not listed here):

The quick way:

Gerrit GitHub Plugin

This plugin allows existing GitHub repositories to be integrated as Gerrit projects. This plugin works for Gerrit 2.12 and later versions. See the original opensource project for more information.

Have a working instance of Gerrit 2.12

Download the Gerrit 2.12 war file.
Create a directory for Gerrit mkdir gerrit

git log --pretty=format:"%h - %an, %ar : %s"
