Familiarize with git/github

[marckunze]

I think we've addressed this already, but if anyone isn't familiar with git and github itself please try to get a basic understanding of how to do some basic interaction with it. I barely know anything beyond this basics, but it's worth noting since we'll be interacting with it.

Git tutorials

http://git-scm.com/doc and the youtube series from github

Also, I think with hills you have to use SSH to work with github since they're running an old version with won't let you use plain http.

https://help.github.com/articles/generating-ssh-keys/

Cloning this repo

1. Set up git including user.name and user.email (https://help.github.com/articles/set-up-git/)
2. Generate SSH key and add to your github account (required if you're working from hills)
3. clone repository
4. via SSH git clone git@github.com:marckunze/rancor.git
5. or via HTTP git clone https://github.com/marckunze/rancor.git
6. that should copy the README, the .gitignore and a .git subfolder to a directory named rancor in wherever your working directory is.
7. cd to your rancor/ directory
8. Do another clone, but with the wiki
   • via SSH git clone git@github.com:marckunze/rancor.wiki.git
   • or via http https://github.com/marckunze/rancor.wiki.git
9. You should have a new rancor.wiki/ directory with the Functional_Spec.md and a Home.md in it.

I hope this helps if anyone is new to git or has problems accessing the repositories.

Also worth noting for the basic git commit

git add fname1 fname2 fname3 git commit -m "added some files git push origin master

[marckunze]

And for pulling the most recent changes

git fetch origin git diff origin/master git merge origin/master

Forgot the obvious part where you install git. https://help.github.com/articles/set-up-git/

I have some free time tomorrow afternoon if anyone needs some help getting setup with git, ruby, or heroku. I wasn't planning to come to campus early, but let me know if you want to meet.

Or if it would help we could try to schedule a meeting outside of class if anyone thinks that would be of value. I'm just not sure how easy it would be to get us all in the room, or if that is even necessary.

I am interested in getting some help on catching up. Anytime before class will work for me. Thanks.

Want to do 4:30 or so?

[dennisccsf]

I can do that. See you then.

[marckunze]

ok, where should we meet? My default is usually just the cafeteria, but I don't really know campus too well.

[dennisccsf]

let's meet in front of the classroom and decide from there.

[marckunze]

k, see you tomorrow

Hi, I'm trying to get off work early today, to be there at 4:30PM, too. (I started work super early to be able to get out and meet with you guys). I'm hoping to be able to make it on-time, I drive from downtown. See you guys

[ghost]

Hi, Please let me know where you are meeting, if the classroom was in use. I know the 1st floor has some sort of study room.

Im arriving near 5.

Thank you Pouria

As noted elsewhere you probably want to install ruby version manager

https://rvm.io/rvm/install

[marckunze]

And the cheat sheet https://training.github.com/kit/downloads/github-git-cheat-sheet.pdf

[nvh82]

Okay, I was able to clone the repository and wiki. I think I should be ready to go. Thanks for the tips Marc, very helpful.

[marckunze]

I found this link to be very concise & helpful: http://rogerdudler.github.io/git-guide/

Well everyone has had a chance to commit, I'll close this one out tomorrow night unless anyone objects.
