## Git Intro
|
||
|
||
---
|
||
|
||
### What is a Version Control System (VCS)
|
||
|
||
- Records changes to a file
|
||
- Maintains history of changes
|
||
- Disaster Recovery
|
||
- Types of VCS: Local, Centralized and Distributed
|
||
|

|
||
|
||
### Short Story of Git
|
||
|
||
- 1991-2002: The Linux kernel was being maintained by sharing archived files
|
||
and patches.
|
||
- 2002: The Linux kernel project began using a DVCS called BitKeeper
|
||
- 2005: BitKeeper revoked the free-of-charge status and Git was created
|
||
|

## Git Setup
|
||
Workshop Time!
|
||
|
||
---
|
||
|
||
### Setup
|
||
|
||
- Windows: Install 'Git for Windows'
|
||
- https://git-for-windows.github.io
|
||
- Mac: Type `git` in the Terminal application.
|
||
- If it's not installed, it will prompt you to install it.
|
||
- Linux
|
||
- Debian: `sudo apt-get install git-all`
|
||
- Red Hat `sudo yum install git-all`
|
||
|
||
---
|
||
|
||
### Configure
|
||
|
||
- One-time configuration of the Git client:
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
git config --global user.name "Your Name"
|
||
git config --global user.email you@example.com
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
- If you don't use the global flag you can set up a different author for
|
||
each project
|
||
- Check settings with:
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
git config --global --list
|
||
```
|
||
- You might want or be required to use an SSH key.
|
||
- Instructions: [SSH](http://doc.gitlab.com/ce/ssh/README.html)
|
||
|
||
---
|
||
|
||
### Workspace
|
||
|
||
- Choose a directory on you machine easy to access
|
||
- Create a workspace or development directory
|
||
- This is where we'll be working and adding content
|
||
|
||
---
|
||
|
||
```bash
|
||
mkdir ~/development
|
||
cd ~/development
|
||
|
||
-or-
|
||
|
||
mkdir ~/workspace
|
||
cd ~/workspace
|
||
```

## Git Basics
|
||
|
||
---
|
||
|
||
### Git Workflow
|
||
|
||
- Untracked files
|
||
- New files that Git has not been told to track previously.
|
||
- Working area (Workspace)
|
||
- Files that have been modified but are not committed.
|
||
- Staging area (Index)
|
||
- Modified files that have been marked to go in the next commit.
|
||
- Upstream
|
||
- Hosted repository on a shared server
|
||
|
||
---
|
||
|
||
### GitLab
|
||
|
||
- GitLab is an application to code, test and deploy.
|
||
- Provides repository management with access controls, code reviews,
|
||
issue tracking, Merge Requests, and other features.
|
||
- The hosted version of GitLab is gitlab.com
|
||
|
||
---
|
||
|
||
### New Project
|
||
|
||
- Sign in into your gitlab.com account
|
||
- Create a project
|
||
- Choose to import from 'Any Repo by URL' and use https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/training-examples.git
|
||
- On your machine clone the `training-examples` project
|
||
|
||
---
|
||
|
||
### Git and GitLab basics
|
||
|
||
1. Edit `edit_this_file.rb` in `training-examples`
|
||
1. See it listed as a changed file (working area)
|
||
1. View the differences
|
||
1. Stage the file
|
||
1. Commit
|
||
1. Push the commit to the remote
|
||
1. View the git log
|
||
|
||
---
|
||
|
||
```shell
|
||
# Edit `edit_this_file.rb`
|
||
git status
|
||
git diff
|
||
git add <file>
|
||
git commit -m 'My change'
|
||
git push origin master
|
||
git log
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
---
|
||
|
||
### Feature Branching
|
||
|
||
1. Create a new feature branch called `squash_some_bugs`
|
||
1. Edit `bugs.rb` and remove all the bugs.
|
||
1. Commit
|
||
1. Push
|
||
|
||
---
|
||
|
||
```shell
|
||
git checkout -b squash_some_bugs
|
||
# Edit `bugs.rb`
|
||
git status
|
||
git add bugs.rb
|
||
git commit -m 'Fix some buggy code'
|
||
git push origin squash_some_bugs
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
---
|
||
|
||
## Merge Request
|
||
|
||
---
|
||
|
||
### Merge requests
|
||
|
||
- When you want feedback create a merge request
|
||
- Target is the ‘default’ branch (usually master)
|
||
- Assign or mention the person you would like to review
|
||
- Add `WIP` to the title if it's a work in progress
|
||
- When accepting, always delete the branch
|
||
- Anyone can comment, not just the assignee
|
||
- Push corrections to the same branch
|
||
|
||
|
||
---
|
||
|
||
### Merge request example
|
||
|
||
- Create your first merge request
|
||
- Use the blue button in the activity feed
|
||
- View the diff (changes) and leave a comment
|
||
- Push a new commit to the same branch
|
||
- Review the changes again and notice the update
|
||
|
||
---
|
||
|
||
### Feedback and Collaboration
|
||
|
||
- Merge requests are a time for feedback and collaboration
|
||
- Giving feedback is hard
|
||
- Be as kind as possible
|
||
- Receiving feedback is hard
|
||
- Be as receptive as possible
|
||
- Feedback is about the best code, not the person. You are not your code
|
||
- Feedback and Collaboration
|
||
|
||
---
|
||
|
||
### Feedback and Collaboration
|
||
|
||
- Review the Thoughtbot code-review guide for suggestions to follow when reviewing merge requests:[Thoughtbot](https://github.com/thoughtbot/guides/tree/master/code-review)
|
||
- See GitLab merge requests for examples: [Merge Requests](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/merge_requests)

## Merge Conflicts
|
||
|
||
---
|
||
|
||
### Merge Conflicts
|
||
* Happen often
|
||
* Learning to fix conflicts is hard
|
||
* Practice makes perfect
|
||
* Force push after fixing conflicts. Be careful!
|
||
|
||
---
|
||
|
||
### Example Plan
|
||
|
||
1. Checkout a new branch and edit conflicts.rb. Add 'Line4' and 'Line5'.
|
||
1. Commit and push
|
||
1. Checkout master and edit conflicts.rb. Add 'Line6' and 'Line7' below 'Line3'.
|
||
1. Commit and push to master
|
||
1. Create a merge request and watch it fail
|
||
1. Rebase our new branch with master
|
||
1. Fix conflicts on the conflicts.rb file.
|
||
1. Stage the file and continue rebasing
|
||
1. Force push the changes
|
||
1. Finally continue with the Merge Request
|
||
|

|
||
|
||
### Example 1/2
|
||
|
||
git checkout -b conflicts_branch
|
||
|
||
# vi conflicts.rb
|
||
# Add 'Line4' and 'Line5'
|
||
|
||
git commit -am "add line4 and line5"
|
||
git push origin conflicts_branch
|
||
|
||
git checkout master
|
||
|
||
# vi conflicts.rb
|
||
# Add 'Line6' and 'Line7'
|
||
git commit -am "add line6 and line7"
|
||
git push origin master
|
||
|
||
---
|
||
|
||
### Example 2/2
|
||
|
||
Create a merge request on the GitLab web UI. You'll see a conflict warning.
|
||
|
||
git checkout conflicts_branch
|
||
git fetch
|
||
git rebase master
|
||
|
||
# Fix conflicts by editing the files.
|
||
|
||
git add conflicts.rb
|
||
# No need to commit this file
|
||
|
||
git rebase --continue
|
||
|
||
# Remember that we have rewritten our commit history so we
|
||
# need to force push so that our remote branch is restructured
|
||
git push origin conflicts_branch -f
|
||
|
||
---
|
||
|
||
### Notes
|
||
|
||
* When to use `git merge` and when to use `git rebase`
|
||
* Rebase when updating your branch with master
|
||
* Merge when bringing changes from feature to master
|
||
* Reference: https://www.atlassian.com/git/tutorials/merging-vs-rebasing/

## Revert and Unstage
|
||
|
||
---
|
||
|
||
### Unstage
|
||
|
||
To remove files from stage use reset HEAD. Where HEAD is the last commit of the current branch:
|
||
|
||
git reset HEAD <file>
|
||
|
||
This will unstage the file but maintain the modifications. To revert the file back to the state it was in before the changes we can use:
|
||
|
||
git checkout -- <file>
|
||
|
||
To remove a file from disk and repo use 'git rm' and to rm a dir use the '-r' flag:
|
||
|
||
git rm '*.txt'
|
||
git rm -r <dirname>
|
||
|
||
If we want to remove a file from the repository but keep it on disk, say we forgot to add it to our .gitignore file then use `--cache`:
|
||
|
||
git rm <filename> --cache
|
||
|
||
---
|
||
|
||
### Undo Commits
|
||
|
||
Undo last commit putting everything back into the staging area:
|
||
|
||
git reset --soft HEAD^
|
||
|
||
Add files and change message with:
|
||
|
||
git commit --amend -m "New Message"
|
||
|
||
Undo last and remove changes
|
||
|
||
git reset --hard HEAD^
|
||
|
||
Same as last one but for two commits back:
|
||
|
||
git reset --hard HEAD^^
|
||
|
||
Don't reset after pushing
|
||
|
||
---
|
||
|
||
### Reset Workflow
|
||
|
||
1. Edit file again 'edit_this_file.rb'
|
||
1. Check status
|
||
1. Add and commit with wrong message
|
||
1. Check log
|
||
1. Amend commit
|
||
1. Check log
|
||
1. Soft reset
|
||
1. Check log
|
||
1. Pull for updates
|
||
1. Push changes
|
||
|
||
----
|
||
|
||
# Change file edit_this_file.rb
|
||
git status
|
||
git commit -am "kjkfjkg"
|
||
git log
|
||
git commit --amend -m "New comment added"
|
||
git log
|
||
git reset --soft HEAD^
|
||
git log
|
||
git pull origin master
|
||
git push origin master
|
||
|
||
---
|
||
|
||
### Note
|
||
|
||
git revert vs git reset
|
||
Reset removes the commit while revert removes the changes but leaves the commit
|
||
Revert is safer considering we can revert a revert
|
||
|
||
|
||
# Changed file
|
||
git commit -am "bug introduced"
|
||
git revert HEAD
|
||
# New commit created reverting changes
|
||
# Now we want to re apply the reverted commit
|
||
git log # take hash from the revert commit
|
||
git revert <rev commit hash>
|
||
# reverted commit is back (new commit created again)

### Version Control
|
||
- Local VCS was used with a filesystem or a simple db.
|
||
- Centralized VCS such as Subversion includes collaboration but
|
||
still is prone to data loss as the main server is the single point of
|
||
failure.
|
||
- Distributed VCS enables the team to have a complete copy of the project
|
||
and work with little dependency to the main server. In case of a main
|
||
server failing the project can be recovered by any of the latest copies
|
||
from the team
