Process Skills Practiced

Background

For the impatient, you may skip down to the [Directions] section and get started. If you would prefer an overview of Git first, there are some great introductory videos on Git's site: http://git-scm.com/ . Namely:

Git Basics: What is Version Control?

If you are new to version control, or just want to gain a deeper understanding of it, this is 6 minutes of your life well spent.

Watch the video

Git Basics: What is Git?

This 8 minute video gives you a quick overview of git, why it exists, who it serves, what it can do, and explains some of its advantages.

Watch the video

Git Basics: Get Going with Git

This 4.5 minute video gives you an overview of installing and configuring git, as well as how to set up your first git repository. You could try to follow along and attempt each step, but I recommend just observing for now and appreciating the simplicity of setup. Later you'll complete a tutorial that will have you perform these same steps.

Watch the video

Git Basics: Quick Wins with Git

Still not convinced? Need more reasons to use Git? Whether you are gearing up for a water cooler debate about version control systems, or you just want to get a better understanding of the Git philosophy and the features that implement those philosophies, this 5 minute delivers.

Watch the video

Directions

1. Git: Download, install, and configure git as demonstrated in the videos above. 2. GitHub: Go to https://github.com/foss2serve/github-rollcall-activity and follow the instructions there.

Additional Information

-=== Getting Help ===
+=== Directions ===
-* The Git website: http://git-scm.com
-* The help command:
- $ git help
-* The git status command gives useful suggestions. Use often.
- $ git status
-=== Commands to Inspect Your Repository ===
-While you are completing the activities below, the following commands
-may come in handy. These commands do not change the state of your repository so they are always safe to use. Use them often.
-* Status command: reports status of repository and gives suggestions!
- $ git status
-* Log command: reports history of commits.
- $ git log
-* Diff command: displays detailed differences since last commit.
- $ git diff
-== Directions ==
+. Git: Download, install, and configure git as demonstrated in the videos above.
-=== Part 1: Install and Configure Git ===
+. GitHub: Go to https://github.com/foss2serve/github-rollcall-activity and follow the instructions there.
-.  Download and install Git for your operating system from http://git-scm.com.
-.  Start a shell/terminal (windows: right-click desktop and select 'Git Bash')
-.  Configure Git with your identity (replace caps with your information):
- $ git config --global user.name 'YOUR NAME'
- $ git config --global user.email 'YOUR@EMAIL'
-=== Part 2: Roll-Call Activity ===
-.  Clone the following repository to your local system (password needed).
- $ git clone openfe@stoney.zapto.org:sandbox.git
-.  Change into the sandbox directory.
- $ cd sandbox
-.  Using any tools you like, inside the sandbox directory create a file named YOUR_NAME.txt (e.g., jane_smith.txt). with your bio.  Using your favorite text editor, write your bio in the file (don't forget to save).
-.  Select the changes you want to commit: your new file. (The following command should be issued in the sandbox directory. So if you have changed directories since step 2, please return to the sandbox directory before issuing the following command.)
- $ git add stoney_jackson.txt
-.  Commit selected changes to your local repository.
- $ git commit -m'Added bio for Stoney Jackson.'
-.  Push changes from your local repository to the remote repository (password needed).
- $ git push
-If git reports something like the following, you may continue to part 3:
- <nowiki>
-Counting objects: 5, done.
-Writing objects: 100% (3/3), 245 bytes, done.
-Total 3 (delta 0), reused 0 (delta 0)
-To /Users/Stoney/Desktop/t/a.git/
-dd2c29..7232044  master -> master
-</nowiki>
-If git reports something like the following, continue to the next step:
+=== Additional Information ===
- <nowiki>
-To ...
-! [rejected]        master -> master (non-fast-forward)
-error: failed to push some refs to '...'
-hint: Updates were rejected because the tip of your current branch is behind
-hint: its remote counterpart. Merge the remote changes (e.g. 'git pull')
-hint: before pushing again.
-hint: See the 'Note about fast-forwards' in 'git push --help' for details.
-</nowiki>
-.  Pull changes from remote into your local repository. (This may invoke a text editor requesting a message explaining the necessity of the merge. Just save the default message and exit the editor.)
+* Git website: http://git-scm.com
- $ git pull
+* Repository location: https://github.com/foss2serve/github-rollcall-activity/
-Return to step 6, and try to push your changes again.
-=== Part 3: Follow up ===
+=== Deliverables ===
-''' Congratulations, you have successfully contributed to a shared, remote repository! '''
+POSSE: Correctly completing the activity on GitHub will add you to the POSSE roll call list on GitHub.
-Additional activities to give you more practice with Git.
+= Notes for Instructors =
-*   Issue a pull command every couple of days, and see if anyone else has posted a bio, or updated an existing bio.
-*   Update your bio. Follow steps 6-11 as necessary to commit your changes to your local repository and then push them to the shared, remote repository.
-*   Delete your local repository and clone a new one. Confirm your changes have persisted.
-*   Add a subdirectory with your name as its name, and add some new files inside.
