* [https://fsegitlab.wlv.ac.uk/ https://fsegitlab.wlv.ac.uk/]
 
 
 
Please note that you should only use this server to store files related to University coursework. Personal or word related files should not be stored on this server.
 
 
 
== Signing in==
 
 
 
You can sign in using your usual university credentials. Make sure that you select the "LDAP" tab on the "Sign in" screen:

== Creating a project ==
 
 
 
Your next step is to create a "Project" that will contain your work. Click on the "+ New Project" button.
 
 
 
https://mi-linux.wlv.ac.uk/wiki-images/gitlab02.png
 
 
 
And populate the following fields:
 
* Project Name
 
* Description
 
* Visibility Level
 
 
 
'''Important''': The Visibility Level should be set to "Private" for all assessment-related work. Any other Visibility Level would allow other students to look at and clone your work, which equates to Collusion under the University's Academic Misconduct regulations.
 
 
 
Set the Project's Visibility level to "Private" and then manually invite new project members, via the Project's settings:

== Creating your first repository ==
 
 
 
When visiting your project's homepage you are presented with some command line Git code that you should use to create your first repository. Please note that you get 2 access options:
 
 
 
* SSH
 
* HTTPS
 
 
 
We'll look that HTTPS for now, so click the "HTTPS" button near the top.
 
 
 
=== Git commands ===
 
 
 
Your project's homepage should contain commands similars to these ones:
 
 
 
''Git global setup''
 
<pre>
 
git config --global user.name "in9352"
 
git config --global user.email "alix.bergeret@wlv.ac.uk"
 
</pre>
 
 
 
''Create a new repository''
 
<pre>mkdir great-work-by-alix
 
cd great-work-by-alix
 
git init
 
touch README.md
 
git add README.md
 
git commit -m "first commit"
 
git remote add origin git@fsegitlab.wlv.ac.uk:in9352/great-work-by-alix.git
 
git push -u origin master
 
</pre>
 
 
 
''Push an existing Git repository''
 
<pre>
 
cd existing_git_repo
 
git remote add origin git@fsegitlab.wlv.ac.uk:in9352/great-work-by-alix.git
 
git push -u origin master
 
</pre>
 
 
 
In order to run the code above you have 3 options:
 
* [Windows] Run Git Bash, a Git client installed in all MI labs
 
* [Windows] SSH into mi-linux.wlv.ac.uk using an SSH client such as Putty
 
* [Linux] Boot under Linux, and open a Command window.
 
 
 
=== Git commands - details ===
 
 
 
Let's look at each command in more details:
 
 
 
<pre>
 
git config --global user.name "in9352"
 
git config --global user.email "alix.bergeret@wlv.ac.uk"
 
</pre>
 
  
The commands above simply set some global settings (your user name and email address) that are required for this process.

<pre>

Please read through the following tutorials:
mkdir great-work-by-alix

# [[Getting started with GitLab]]
cd great-work-by-alix

# [[Cloning and pulling from GitLab]]
</pre>

# [[Solving conflicts on GitLab]]
 +
# [[Working environments]]

# [[Working with GitLab Issues, Milestones and Labels]]
  
Well, nothing too difficult here, we simply create an empty folder and move into it. Note that you may wish to move into an existing folder that already contains files instead!

git init
 
</pre>
 
  
Here is the first interesting command. [http://git-scm.com/docs/git-init git init] creates an empty Git repository. Of the command is successful you should get a message stating "Initialized empty Git repository in ...". This has created a hidden ".git" folder that you can see by running the command "ls -la".
