Introduction to Git

Introduction to Git by Scott Chacon: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7N6VBtkCHSQ

Eclipse

The CloudSimEx code is on Github. To use the project properly, you need the following:

  • Install Eclipse J2EE (Or any version with Eclipse Marketplace): http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/
  • Install Maven from Eclipse Marketplace: Eclipse > Help > Eclipse Marketplace > Search: Maven > Install: Maven Integration for Eclipse
  • Install EGit from Eclipse Marketplace: Eclipse > Help > Eclipse Marketplace > Search: EGit > Install: EGit - Git Team Provider
  • Add git connector to Maven: Eclipse > Window > Preferences > Maven > Discovery > Open Catalog > Check: m2e-egit > Finish
  • Locate the git URL. You have two options (choose one):
    1. Fork to a new repository: (It will be under your GitHub account. You can make it private or public repository. You can send a pull request later to mirage it with the main Clouds-Lab repository)
      • Go to: https://github.com/Cloudslab/CloudSimEx and fork the repository.
      • Go to your forked repository then locate the Clone button that will show you the git clone command, locate the URL, it should be something like: https://github.com/GITHUB_USERNAME/REPO_NAME.git
    2. Work on the main repository:
      • Clone the main repository: https://github.com/Cloudslab/CloudSimEx.git
      • You will need to ask for write permissions of the repository
  • Now you can checkout the source code as follows:
    • In Eclipse choose Import -> Maven -> Check out Maven projects from SCM
    • For SCM URL choose GIT and paste the url: git@github.com:GUTHUB_USERNAME/REPO_NAME.git

GUI

GitHub developed the best GUI applications for Git. It doesn't just work for GitHub, but almost for any Git repository. However, you must have a GitHub account in addition to the GitHub one to use their application.

Mac OS X

Confirmed to work on: Mac OS 10.8 (Mountain Lion).

  • Install Git for Mac: http://git-scm.com/downloads
  • Open Terminal (After running ssh-keygen leave everything empty, just press enter three times):

    ssh-keygen
    cat ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub | pbcopy

Now you have generated public and private SSH keys in ~/.ssh/ and copied the public key into your clipboard.

  • Go to: http://github.org/ > Manage Account (click on your picture) > Account Settings > SSH Keys > Add SSH key.
    • Title: "Default Mac Public Key (nopass)".
    • Key: Just past (⌘ + v) what you have in your clipboard (which is what's in ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub).
  • Locate the git clone command. You have two options (choose one):
    1. Fork to a new repository: (It will be under your GitHub account. You can make it private or public repository. You can send a pull request later to mirage it with the main Clouds-Lab repository)
      • Go to: https://github.com/Cloudslab/cloudsimex and fork the repository.
      • Go to your forked repository then locate the Clone button that will show you the SSH clone command, it should be something like: git clone git@github.com:GITHUB_USERNAME/REPO_NAME.git
    2. Work on the main repository: (It will be under Clouds-Lab account. It has to be a public repository)
      • You will use this command: git clone git@github.com:cloudslab/cloudsimex.git
  • Open Terminal (use your own git clone command instead of git clone git@github.com:GITHUB_USERNAME/REPO_NAME.git ):

    mkdir ~/CloudSimEx
    cd ~/CloudSimEx
    git clone git@github.com:GITHUB_USERNAME/REPO_NAME.git
  • Create an account with GitHub: https://github.com/
  • Install GitHub for Mac: http://mac.github.com/
  • Open GitHub application and login using your GitHub account.
  • Drag the repository folder (~/CloudSimEx/cloudsimex in my case) into GitHub application

Once you have changed something in your local repository folder, just go to GitHub application > select your repository > Changes > Commit > Sync Branch.

Windows

Confirmed to work on: Windows 7.

  • Install Git for Windows: http://git-scm.com/downloads
  • Open Git Bash (After running ssh-keygen leave everything empty, just press enter three times):

    ssh-keygen
    cat ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub | clip

Now you have generated public and private SSH keys in ~/.ssh/ and copied the public key into your clipboard.

  • Go to: http://github.com/ > Account Settings (click on your picture) > SSH Keys > Add SSH key.
    • Title: "Default Windows Public Key (nopass)".
    • Key: Just past (⊞ Win + v) what you have in your clipboard (which is what's in ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub).
  • Locate the git clone command. You have two options (choose one):
    1. Fork to a new repository: (It will be under your GitHub account. You can make it private or public repository. You can send a pull request later to mirage it with the main Clouds-Lab repository)
      • Go to: https://github.org/Cloudslab/cloudsimex and fork the repository.
      • Go to your forked repository then locate the Clone button that will show you the SSH clone command, it should be something like: git clone git@github.com:GITHUB_USERNAME/REPO_NAME.git
    2. Work on the main repository: (It will be under Clouds-Lab account. It has to be a public repository)
      • You will use this command: git clone git@github.com:cloudslab/cloudsimex.git
  • Open Git Bash (use your own git clone command instead of git clone git@github.com:GITHUB_USERNAME/REPO_NAME.git ):

    mkdir ~/CloudSimEx
    cd ~/CloudSimEx
    git clone git@github.org:GITHUB_USERNAME/REPO_NAME.git
  • Create an account with GitHub: https://github.com/
  • Install GitHub for Windows: http://windows.github.com/
  • Open GitHub application and login using your GitHub account.
  • Drag the repository folder (~/CloudSimEx/cloudsimex in my case) into GitHub application

Once you have changed something in your local repository folder, just go to GitHub application > select your repository > Commit > Sync.

CLI


    git config --global user.name "Your Name Here"
    git config --global user.email "your_email@youremail.com"

Linux

On the different distributions of Linux the opportunities for using GIT under GUI are not that much. A simple, yet sufficient client is Git Cola. Another GUI application is RabbitVCS which as of today is still not that stable and may not work on some distributions.
