Beta Test Issues

[GBruening]

We'll put all issues with the first run through here.

[GBruening]

Intro/Setup

• [x] Add something about the git setup. Such as default git editor.
  • Can use defaults, apart from text editor.
    • [x] Git intsalled GUI, CMD, and BASH. Need to refer to bash
    • Need to login when trying to push

Why use it

• Why not just use google drive.
  • Need to talk about the whole functionality.
  • Compare it to things we know.

Need to describe branches in depth

• What you'll see in your file explorer vs in the git bash

Basics of Git

• Need to make the pull/pushing/and all that more clear?

Git Cheatsheet

• [x] "[USername]" whatever change?, Remove the brackets
• [x] Email is whichever email you signed up to github with.
• [ ] Have them run git config to check email.
• [ ] Add config stuff to pre-setup
• [x] Need to describe ls, dir, and cd functions for the cmd
  • use of desktop folder simplifies and removes this need - RA

Breakout 1

• [ ] Need to talk about pulling
• [x] If they can't create branch, check if they accepted the invite.
• [x] Does the folder matter? Put it on desktop
• [x] cd requires a forward slash at the beginning
• [x] Avoid spaces
• [x] Changing to the folder is odd.
• [x] Should have them open right into it with right click.
  • instead just having them user Desktop folder. simple path and I tested on mac/win10 - RA
• [x] After cloning they need to CD into the folder
• [x] Before they checkout to a branch, run git branch - a to make sure branch is there
  • added but no need for -a bc it shows too much actually - RA
• [ ] Git status before the add, then git status after the add so they can see the changes.
• [x] git add . people are going to forget the .
  • added reminder - RA
• [ ] Git status after push?
• [ ] Merging may take a second, was throwing errors as eveyrone tried to merge into master
  • I think it might just be something to tell helpers to be aware of. Will resolve itself.

Script issues

• [x] Need to add addpath to each individual subscript so it runs on it's own.
  • updated breakout1 to force users to open and run main_script. This sets pwd in MATLAB - RA
• [x] Script 1 has two bugs
  • fixed csv file path issues in all subscripts - RA
• [x] Add docstring for what the script does.
• [x] script5 changes they y limits?
  • hardcode ylims in script5 to work for full peach output - RA
• [ ] 5 is silly scripts are weird
  • wtf? -RA
