+title: Storing CI data on Git notes

+
+Extending the bare bones CI server I've [talked about before][previous-article],
+divoplade on Freenode suggested storing CI artifacts on [Git notes][git-notes],
+such as tarballs, binaries, logs, *etc*.
+
+I've written a small script that will put log files and CI job data on Git notes,
+and make it visible on the porcelain log. It is a simple extension of the
+previous article:
+
+```shell
+#!/usr/bin/env bash
+set -Eeuo pipefail
+set -x
+
+PREFIX='/srv/ci/vps'
+mkdir -p "$PREFIX"
+read -r _ SHA _ # oldrev newrev refname
+FILENAME="$(date -Is)-$SHA.log"
+LOGFILE="$PREFIX/$FILENAME"
+exec &> >(tee -a "$LOGFILE")
+
+echo "Starting CI job at: $(date -Is)"
+
+finish() {
+  STATUS="$?"
+  printf "\n\n>>> exit status was %s\n" "$STATUS"
+  echo "Finishing CI job at: $(date -Is)"
+  popd
+  NOTE=$(cat <<EOF
+See CI logs with:
+  git notes --ref=refs/notes/ci-logs show $SHA
+  git notes --ref=refs/notes/ci-data show $SHA
+EOF
+)
+  git notes --ref=refs/notes/ci-data add -f -m "$STATUS $FILENAME"
+  git notes --ref=refs/notes/ci-logs add -f -F "$LOGFILE"
+  git notes add -f -m "$NOTE"
+  printf "\n\n>>> CI logs added as Git note."
+}
+trap finish EXIT
+
+unset GIT_DIR
+CLONE="$(mktemp -d)"
+git clone . "$CLONE"
+pushd "$CLONE"
+git config --global user.email git@euandre.org
+git config --global user.name 'EuAndreh CI'
+
+./container make check site
+./container make publish
+```
+
+The important part is in the `finish()` function:
+- #25 stores the exit status and the generated filename separated by spaces;
+- #26 adds the log file in a note using the `refs/notes/ci-logs` ref;
+- #27 it adds a note to the commit saying how to see the logs.
+
+A commit now has an attached note, and shows it whenever you look at it:

+
+Other tools such as [cgit][cgit] will also show notes on the web interface:
+<https://euandre.org/git/servers/commit?id=87c57133abd8be5d7cc46afbf107f59b26066575>.
+
+You can go even further: since cgit can serve raw blob directly, you can even
+serve such artifacts (log files, release artifacts, binaries) from cgit itself:
+
+```shell
+$ SHA="$(git notes --ref=refs/notes/ci-logs list 87c57133abd8be5d7cc46afbf107f59b26066575)"
+$ echo "https://euandre.org/git/servers/blob?id=$SHA"
+https://euandre.org/git/servers/blob?id=1707a97bae24e3864fe7943f8dda6d01c294fb5c
+```
+
+And like that you'll have cgit serving the artifacts for you:
+<https://euandre.org/git/servers/blob?id=1707a97bae24e3864fe7943f8dda6d01c294fb5c>.
