# Git Configuration Fix for Trackio Space Deployment ## Issue Identified The Trackio Space deployment was failing with the error: ``` ❌ Error uploading files: Command '['git', 'commit', '-m', 'Initial Trackio Space setup']' returned non-zero exit status 128. ``` This error occurs because git requires a user identity (email and name) to be configured before making commits. The deployment script was creating a temporary directory and initializing a git repository, but wasn't configuring the git user identity in that temporary directory. ## Root Cause ### **Problem**: Git Identity Not Configured in Temporary Directory When the deployment script: 1. Creates a temporary directory 2. Changes to that directory (`os.chdir(temp_dir)`) 3. Initializes a git repository (`git init`) 4. Tries to commit (`git commit`) The git repository in the temporary directory doesn't inherit the git configuration from the main directory, so it has no user identity configured. ### **Solution**: Configure Git Identity in Temporary Directory The fix involves explicitly configuring git user identity in the temporary directory before attempting to commit. ## Fixes Applied ### 1. **Enhanced TrackioSpaceDeployer Constructor** **Before**: ```python def __init__(self, space_name: str, username: str, token: str): self.space_name = space_name self.username = username self.token = token ``` **After**: ```python def __init__(self, space_name: str, username: str, token: str, git_email: str = None, git_name: str = None): self.space_name = space_name self.username = username self.token = token # Git configuration self.git_email = git_email or f"{username}@huggingface.co" self.git_name = git_name or username ``` ### 2. **Git Configuration in upload_files_to_space Method** **Added to the method**: ```python # Configure git user identity for this repository try: # Try to get existing git config result = subprocess.run(["git", "config", "--global", "user.email"], capture_output=True, text=True) if result.returncode == 0 and result.stdout.strip(): git_email = result.stdout.strip() else: git_email = self.git_email result = subprocess.run(["git", "config", "--global", "user.name"], capture_output=True, text=True) if result.returncode == 0 and result.stdout.strip(): git_name = result.stdout.strip() else: git_name = self.git_name except Exception: # Fallback to default values git_email = self.git_email git_name = self.git_name # Set git config for this repository subprocess.run(["git", "config", "user.email", git_email], check=True, capture_output=True) subprocess.run(["git", "config", "user.name", git_name], check=True, capture_output=True) print(f"✅ Configured git with email: {git_email}, name: {git_name}") ``` ### 3. **Updated Main Function** **Enhanced to accept git configuration**: ```python def main(): # Get user input username = input("Enter your Hugging Face username: ").strip() space_name = input("Enter Space name (e.g., trackio-monitoring): ").strip() token = input("Enter your Hugging Face token: ").strip() # Get git configuration (optional) git_email = input("Enter your git email (optional, press Enter for default): ").strip() git_name = input("Enter your git name (optional, press Enter for default): ").strip() # Create deployer with git config deployer = TrackioSpaceDeployer(space_name, username, token, git_email, git_name) ``` ### 4. **Updated Launch Script** **Enhanced to pass git configuration**: ```bash # Create deployment script input cat > deploy_input.txt << EOF $HF_USERNAME $TRACKIO_SPACE_NAME $HF_TOKEN $GIT_EMAIL $HF_USERNAME EOF ``` ## Testing the Fix ### **Run Git Configuration Tests** ```bash python tests/test_git_config_fix.py ``` Expected output: ``` 🚀 Testing Git Configuration Fix ======================================== 🔍 Testing git configuration in temporary directory... ✅ Created temp directory: /tmp/tmp_xxxxx ✅ Initialized git repository ✅ Git email configured correctly ✅ Git name configured correctly ✅ Git commit successful ✅ Cleanup successful 🔍 Testing deployment script git configuration... ✅ Git email set correctly ✅ Git name set correctly 🔍 Testing git configuration fallback... ✅ Default git email set correctly ✅ Default git name set correctly 🔍 Testing git commit with configuration... ✅ Created temp directory: /tmp/tmp_xxxxx ✅ Git commit successful with configuration ✅ Cleanup successful 📊 Test Results: 4/4 tests passed ✅ All git configuration tests passed! The deployment should work correctly. ``` ## Files Modified ### **Core Deployment Files** 1. **`scripts/trackio_tonic/deploy_trackio_space.py`** - Enhanced constructor to accept git configuration - Added git configuration in upload_files_to_space method - Updated main function to accept git parameters - Added fallback mechanisms for git configuration ### **Launch Script** 2. **`launch.sh`** - Updated to pass git configuration to deployment script - Enhanced input file creation with git parameters ### **Testing** 3. **`tests/test_git_config_fix.py`** - Comprehensive testing of git configuration - Tests for temporary directory git setup - Tests for deployment script git handling - Tests for fallback behavior ## Benefits of the Fix ### **1. Reliable Git Commits** - Git user identity properly configured in temporary directory - No more "exit status 128" errors - Successful commits and pushes to Hugging Face Spaces ### **2. Flexible Configuration** - Accepts custom git email and name - Falls back to sensible defaults - Works with existing git configuration ### **3. Better Error Handling** - Graceful fallback to default values - Clear error messages and logging - Robust configuration validation ### **4. Professional Setup** - Uses user's actual email address when provided - Maintains proper git attribution - Follows git best practices ## Usage Instructions ### **1. Test the Fix** ```bash python tests/test_git_config_fix.py ``` ### **2. Deploy with Git Configuration** ```bash python scripts/trackio_tonic/deploy_trackio_space.py ``` When prompted: - Enter your HF username - Enter space name - Enter your HF token - Enter your git email (or press Enter for default) - Enter your git name (or press Enter for default) ### **3. Use with Launch Script** ```bash ./launch.sh ``` The launch script will automatically pass the git configuration to the deployment script. ## Troubleshooting ### **Common Issues** #### **1. Git Configuration Still Fails** ```bash # Check if git is properly configured git config --list # Set git config manually if needed git config --global user.email "your-email@example.com" git config --global user.name "Your Name" ``` #### **2. Permission Issues** ```bash # Check HF token permissions hf whoami # Verify token has write access hf repo create test-repo --type space ``` #### **3. Space Creation Fails** ```bash # Check if space name is available # Try a different space name # Verify HF token is valid ``` ## Next Steps 1. **Test the fix**: Run the git configuration tests 2. **Deploy a test space**: Use the updated deployment script 3. **Verify deployment**: Check that the space is created successfully 4. **Use in production**: Deploy your actual Trackio Space The git configuration fix should resolve the deployment issues and allow successful Trackio Space creation! 🚀
