GIT and GITLab:Part 1 - An Introduction

CoEPP 2015 RC Users Forum 24th March 2015

Outline

● GIT in a NutshellBasic concepts

● GITLab in a NutshellAuthentication

Create a project in GITLab

Commit to a project in GITLab

Checkout from a project in GITLAB

Set different project permissions to other users


GIT in a Nutshell

● CVS / SVN create versions based on file differences

● GIT creates snapshots of the project over time:

Takes a picture of what files look

Stores a reference to that snapshot

If files are unchanged, stores a link to the previous identical file

SVN like GIT like


GIT in a Nutshell

● In GIT, nearly all operations are local

Once a repository is created or checkout, GIT only needs local

files and resources to operate

Most operations seem almost instantaneous.

● For example, to browse the history of the project, Git reads it

directly from your local database.

This means that you can do almost everything even if you’re

offline.


GIT in a Nutshell● The 3 states GIT process

The .git dir is where GIT stores metadata and object database

for your project. .

The working dir is a checkout of a project version ● Files are pulled out of the compressed db in the .git directory

and placed on disk for you to use / modify.

The staging area is a file (generally in .git directory), storing info

about what will go into your next commit.


GIT local workflow

● The basic GIT workflow

Initiate a repo in your local system (or clone a repo)

● git init (git clone <git repo>)

Modify files in your working directory;

Stage the files, adding snapshots of them to your staging area;

● git add <path>

Do a commit (takes the files in the staging area and stores that

snapshot permanently to your .git dir);

● git commit m '<some comment>'

GITLab in a Nutshell

● What is GITLab?

A web frontend for the management of remote git repositories

(similar to GITHUB):

● Activity Stream

● File Browser

● Git Powered Wiki

● Code review

● Issue Management

● Code snippets

● Web Hooks
