| − | == Working environments ==
| |
| − |
| |
| − | There are several ways to interact with Git and GitHub.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | === Command line ===
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Everything covered on this page works just fine from the command line. Again here is a reminder of the various ways you can run Git commands:
| |
| − | * ''[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 Shell window.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | === GitLab web interface ===
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Once a repository is created and pushed by 1 user (from the commands line), any further work can take place from GitLab's web interface ("Files" tab). Users can :
| |
| − | * Edit exiting files and commit changes
| |
| − | * Add new files
| |
| − |
| |
| − | The web-based text editor is rather simplistic compared to dedicated editors and IDEs, but is sufficient in a lot of cases.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | === Using GitLab from Eclipse ===
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Many of you are used to working with the Eclipse IDE. This can be used with our GitLab server obviously, via the "Team" menu.

| |
| − | ====Clone Git Repository====
| |
| − |
| |
| − | First, let's see how we can clone an existing repository through Eclipse:
| |
| − |
| |
| − | * Copy your Git Project HTTPS URL (see earlier)
| |
| − | * In Eclipse, make sure that you have the "Git Repositories" view available
| |
| − | **Go to Window --> Show View --> Other
| |
| − | **Click on Git --> Git Repositories
| |
| − | *Now in the Git window, click on "Clone a Git repository". Your copied Git repository will auto-fill
| |
| − | *Type your username and password. Choose "Store in Secure Store". Click Next, and then Next again
| |
| − | *Click Finish, and wait a few seconds for Eclipse to bring-in the Gitlab project. Your project will show under "Git Repositories" section.

| |
| − |
| |
| − | ====Import project====
| |
| − | Your project should now be showing under the "Git Repositories" section, but you still need to manually import it to your list of projects. To do so:
| |
| − | * In the "Git Repositories" section, right click on your repository
| |
| − | * Choose "Imports Projects" from the menu
| |
| − | * On the next window, select "Import as general project" and press "Next"
| |
| − | * On the next window, specify a project name (or accept the default one) and press "Finish".
| |
| − |
| |
| − | https://mi-linux.wlv.ac.uk/wiki-images/gitlab09.png
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Your project should now be showing in your usual "Package Explorer" window, alongside your other projects.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | ==== Pulling and pushing ====
| |
| − |
| |
| − | You will find the usual git commands (pull, push etc.) under the "Team" menu, when right clicking on your project or on your files. Happy Giting!

| − | === Git from home ===
| |
| − |
| |
| − | There are plenty of Git clients freely available for all major OS, see a list here:

| |
| − | == Working via SSH ==
| |
| − |
| |
| − | An SSH key allows you to establish a secure connection between your computer and GitLab.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | To generate a new SSH key, just open your terminal and use code below. The ssh-keygen command prompts you for a location and filename to store the key pair and for a password. When prompted for the location and filename, you can press enter to use the default.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | It is a best practice to use a password for an SSH key, but it is not required and you can skip creating a password by pressing enter. Note that the password you choose here can't be altered or retrieved.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | <pre>
| |
| − | ssh-keygen -t rsa -C "$your_email"
| |
| − | </pre>

| |
| − | Here is an extract of me running the command:
| |
| − | <pre>
| |
| − | in9352@csl-student:~$ ssh-keygen -t rsa -C "$alix.bergeret@wlv.ac.uk"
| |
| − | Generating public/private rsa key pair.
| |
| − | Enter file in which to save the key (/home/staff/acad/in9352/.ssh/id_rsa):
| |
| − | Created directory '/home/staff/acad/in9352/.ssh'.
| |
| − | Enter passphrase (empty for no passphrase):
| |
| − | Enter same passphrase again:
| |
| − | Your identification has been saved in /home/staff/acad/in9352/.ssh/id_rsa.
| |
| − | Your public key has been saved in /home/staff/acad/in9352/.ssh/id_rsa.pub.
| |
| − | The key fingerprint is:
| |
| − | 04:26:cc:e8:16:2d:2a:a3:a9:91:fa:c5:39:9e:42:81 .bergeret@wlv.ac.uk
| |
| − | The key's randomart image is:
