Prerequisites

See the readme on how to set up credentials.
It’s a Git command, so make sure you have Git installed, of course.

Configure your upstream remote and branch name.

$ cd path/to/node/project
$ ncu-config set upstream your-remote-name
$ ncu-config set branch your-branch-name

For example

# Add a remote called "upstream"
$ git remote add upstream git@github.com:nodejs/node.git
# See your remote names
$ git remote -v

upstream	git@github.com:nodejs/node.git (fetch)
upstream	git@github.com:nodejs/node.git (push)

# Tell ncu that your upstream remote is named "upstream"
$ ncu-config set upstream upstream

# Tell ncu that you are landing patches to "main" branch
$ ncu-config set branch main

Note: If you are behind a firewall and run into ECONNREFUSED issues with raw.githubusercontent.com, you can try setting up the command to read the README from the local file system (you may need to make sure that the collaborator contacts in this file is up-to-date and cover people you need to include in the patch you want to land).

$ cd path/to/node/project
$ ncu-config set readme "$(pwd)/README.md"

Git bash for Windows

If you are using git bash and having trouble with output use winpty git-node.cmd metadata $PRID.

Current known issues with git bash:

git bash Lacks colors.
git bash output duplicates metadata.

Demo & Usage

Landing multiple commits: https://asciinema.org/a/148627
Landing one commit: https://asciinema.org/a/157445

Steps to land a pull request:
==============================================================================
$ cd path/to/node/project

# If you have not configured it before
$ ncu-config set upstream <name-of-remote-to-nodejs/node>
$ ncu-config set branch main   # Assuming you are landing commits on main

$ git checkout main
$ git node land --abort          # Abort a landing session, just in case
$ git node land $PRID            # Start a new landing session
$ git node land $URL             # Start a new landing session using the PR URL

# Follow instructions provided.

$ git node land --final          # Verify all the commit messages

git-node metadata <identifier>

Retrieves metadata for a PR and validates them against nodejs/node PR rules

Positionals:
  identifier  ID or URL of the pull request                            [string] [required]

Examples:

PRID=12345

# fetch metadata and run checks on nodejs/node/pull/$PRID
$ git node metadata $PRID
# is equivalent to
$ git node metadata https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/$PRID
# is equivalent to
$ git node metadata $PRID -o nodejs -r node

# Or, redirect the metadata to a file while see the checks in stderr
$ git node metadata $PRID > msg.txt

# Using it to amend commit messages:
$ git node metadata $PRID -f msg.txt
$ echo -e "$(git show -s --format=%B)\n\n$(cat msg.txt)" > msg.txt
$ git commit --amend -F msg.txt

# fetch metadata and run checks on https://github.com/nodejs/llnode/pull/167
# using the contact in ../node/README.md
git node metadata 167 --repo llnode --readme ../node/README.md

Optional Settings

Some projects might not follow the same rules as nodejs/node. To properly validate Pull Requests for these projects, node-core-utils accept the following optional settings:

cd path/to/project
# waitTimeSingleApproval is the minimum wait time (in hours) before
# landing a PR with only one approval. Default to 7 days.
ncu-config set waitTimeSingleApproval 168
# waitTimeMultiApproval is the minimum wait time (in hours) before
# landing a PR with only two or more approvals. Default to 48 hours.
ncu-config set waitTimeMultiApproval 48

`git node v8`

Update or patch the V8 engine. This tool will maintain a clone of the V8 repository in ~/.update-v8/v8 if it’s used without --v8-dir.

Prerequisites

If you are on macOS, the version of patch command bundled in the system may be too old for git node v8 to work. Try installing a newer version of patch before using this tool. For instance, with homebrew:

$ brew install gpatch

And make sure which patch points to /usr/local/bin/patch installed by homebrew instead of /usr/bin/patch that comes with the system (e.g. by modifying your PATH environment variable).

`git node v8 major`

Replaces deps/v8 with a newer major version.
Resets the embedder version number to -node.0.
Bumps NODE_MODULE_VERSION according to the Node.js ABI version registry.

Options:

--branch=branchName: Branch of the V8 repository to use for the upgrade. Defaults to lkgr.
--no-version-bump: Disable automatic bump of the NODE_MODULE_VERSION constant.

`git node v8 minor`

Compare current V8 version with latest upstream of the same major. Applies a patch if necessary. If the git apply command fails, a patch file will be written in the Node.js clone directory.

`git node v8 backport <sha..>`

Fetches and applies the patch corresponding to sha. Multiple commit SHAs can be provided to this command. Increments the V8 embedder version number or patch version and commits the changes for each commit (unless the command is called with --squash). If a patch fails to be applied, the command will pause and let you fix the conflicts in another terminal.

Options:

--no-bump: Set this flag to skip bumping the V8 embedder version number or patch version.
--squash: Set this flag to squash multiple commits into one. This should only be done if individual commits would break the build.

General options

--node-dir=/path/to/node: Specify the path to the Node.js git repository. Defaults to current working directory.
--base-dir=/path/to/base/dir: Specify the path where V8 the clone will be maintained. Defaults to ~/.update-v8.
--v8-dir=/path/to/v8/: Specify the path of an existing V8 clone. This will be used instead of cloning V8 to baseDir.
--verbose: Enable verbose output.

`git node vote`

Prerequisites

See the readme on how to set up credentials.
It’s a Git command, so make sure you have Git installed, of course.

Additionally, if you want to close the vote, you also need:

A GPG client. By default it will look at the GPG_BIN environment variable, and fallback to gpg if not provided.

Usage

Steps to cast a vote:
==============================================================================
$ git node vote $PR_URL                 # Start a voting session
$ git node vote $PR_URL --abstain       # Cast an empty ballot
$ git node vote $PR_URL --protocol ssh  # Instruct git-node to use SSH
==============================================================================

Steps to close a vote:
==============================================================================
$ git node vote $PR_URL --decrypt-key-part   # Outputs the user's key part
$ git node vote \
  $PR_URL --decrypt-key-part --post-comment  # Post the key part as comment
==============================================================================

`git node security`

Manage or starts a security release process.

Prerequisites

It’s necessary to set up .ncurc with HackerOne keys:

$ ncu-config --global set h1_token $H1_TOKEN
$ ncu-config --global set h1_username $H1_TOKEN

h1_token: HackerOne Organization API Token, preferable with read-only access.
h1_username: HackerOne API Token username.

`git node security --start`

This command creates the Next Security Issue in Node.js private repository following the Security Release Process document. It will retrieve all the triaged HackerOne reports and add creates the vulnerabilities.json.

`git node security --update-date=YYYY/MM/DD`

This command updates the vulnerabilities.json with target date of the security release. Example:

  git node security --update-date=2023/12/31

`git node security --pre-release`

This command creates a pre-release announcement for the security release. Example:

  git node security --pre-release="/path/to/nodejs.org"

`git node security --post-release`

This command creates the post-release announcement for the security release. Example:

  git node security --post-release="/path/to/nodejs.org"

`git node security --add-report=report-id`

This command adds a HackerOne report to the vulnerabilities.json. Example:

  git node security --add-report=12345

`git node security --remove-report=report-id`

This command removes a HackerOne report from the vulnerabilities.json. Example:

  git node security --remove-report=12345

`git node status`

Return status and information about the current git-node land session. Shows the following information:
