In the interview that we did at the beginning of the class,
|
|
|
|
2
|
|
00:00:02,820 --> 00:00:08,430
|
|
we talked with John about GitHub, where GitHub is a Git hosting website, and
|
|
|
|
3
|
|
00:00:08,430 --> 00:00:11,390
|
|
John told you all about it. For this class, we will be
|
|
|
|
4
|
|
00:00:11,390 --> 00:00:16,350
|
|
using GitHub as our Git hosting. Let's see how GitHub works in practice and
|
|
|
|
5
|
|
00:00:16,350 --> 00:00:19,450
|
|
let's see some of the common features offered by GitHub.
|
|
|
|
6
|
|
00:00:19,450 --> 00:00:24,010
|
|
This is what we'll do in the third part of this Git demo. What I'm showing here
|
|
|
|
7
|
|
00:00:24,010 --> 00:00:28,550
|
|
is the GitHub website and as I said, GitHub is a Git hosting website and
|
|
|
|
8
|
|
00:00:28,550 --> 00:00:32,950
|
|
you can create an account on GitHub by simply signing up on the website. And
|
|
|
|
9
|
|
00:00:32,950 --> 00:00:36,100
|
|
because we already have an account that we're simply going to sign in
|
|
|
|
10
|
|
00:00:36,100 --> 00:00:40,570
|
|
to see what kind of functionality GitHub offers. And we're going to specify our
|
|
|
|
11
|
|
00:00:40,570 --> 00:00:44,190
|
|
username and password. And as you can see on the GitHub website,
|
|
|
|
12
|
|
00:00:44,190 --> 00:00:47,695
|
|
you can use this menu up on the right to create a new repository or
|
|
|
|
13
|
|
00:00:47,695 --> 00:00:51,500
|
|
change the account settings. Let's click on our user profile. And
|
|
|
|
14
|
|
00:00:51,500 --> 00:00:54,270
|
|
here we can see some statistics for our user. For
|
|
|
|
15
|
|
00:00:54,270 --> 00:00:59,190
|
|
example, we can see statistic about our contributions and our repositories. So
|
|
|
|
16
|
|
00:00:59,190 --> 00:01:02,560
|
|
now if we go to the Repositories view, we can create a new repository.
|
|
|
|
17
|
|
00:01:02,560 --> 00:01:07,117
|
|
We give it a name. Let's call it myrepo. We can provide the description for
|
|
|
|
18
|
|
00:01:07,117 --> 00:01:11,680
|
|
the repository. If we want, we can initialize the repository by adding a README
|
|
|
|
19
|
|
00:01:11,680 --> 00:01:15,860
|
|
file. And even though we are not doing it right now, if you can see up here,
|
|
|
|
20
|
|
00:01:15,860 --> 00:01:19,820
|
|
you can also add a license here on the right and it allows you
|
|
|
|
21
|
|
00:01:19,820 --> 00:01:24,831
|
|
to choose from a set of predefined licenses. And you can also a .gitignore file,
|
|
|
|
22
|
|
00:01:24,831 --> 00:01:28,410
|
|
which, in case you don't know what that is, it's a very convenient file that
|
|
|
|
23
|
|
00:01:28,410 --> 00:01:32,740
|
|
will automatically exclude from the repositories file that should not be added.
|
|
|
|
24
|
|
00:01:32,740 --> 00:01:35,690
|
|
So if you remember in the lesson we said there are things that you should not
|
|
|
|
25
|
|
00:01:35,690 --> 00:01:39,263
|
|
add to the repositories. For example, derived files. So
|
|
|
|
26
|
|
00:01:39,263 --> 00:01:42,360
|
|
here, using this menu, you can pick the type of project that you have.
|
|
|
|
27
|
|
00:01:42,360 --> 00:01:47,740
|
|
For example, Java project or PHP project or many other kinds of projects. And
|
|
|
|
28
|
|
00:01:47,740 --> 00:01:50,510
|
|
the GitHub will automatically add that file for you.
|
|
|
|
29
|
|
00:01:50,510 --> 00:01:53,680
|
|
But let's skip that for now and simply create our repository. And
|
|
|
|
30
|
|
00:01:53,680 --> 00:01:58,000
|
|
that creates a repository that contains the README file because that's what we
|
|
|
|
31
|
|
00:01:58,000 --> 00:02:02,580
|
|
decided to do. And it also allows you to edit the README file by clicking on it.
|
|
|
|
32
|
|
00:02:02,580 --> 00:02:05,560
|
|
It will bring up an editor and here you can write, you know,
|
|
|
|
33
|
|
00:02:05,560 --> 00:02:08,949
|
|
for example, initial readme for your project. Then you can add your
|
|
|
|
34
|
|
00:02:08,949 --> 00:02:13,070
|
|
commit message up there and then you can commit the changes to your README file.
|
|
|
|
35
|
|
00:02:13,070 --> 00:02:18,212
|
|
The site also provides many other features, like, for example, creating issues,
|
|
|
|
36
|
|
00:02:18,212 --> 00:02:22,030
|
|
pull requests, adding and editing a wiki, and also, you know,
|
|
|
|
37
|
|
00:02:22,030 --> 00:02:25,740
|
|
defining other characteristics and settings for the repository. Now, if we go to
|
|
|
|
38
|
|
00:02:25,740 --> 00:02:30,500
|
|
the repository, you can see that we also get the HTTPS link for the repository.
|
|
|
|
39
|
|
00:02:30,500 --> 00:02:35,870
|
|
So this is the URL that you can use to clone your repository. If you remember,
|
|
|
|
40
|
|
00:02:35,870 --> 00:02:39,250
|
|
with a git clone command, that's the URL that you can specify. So
|
|
|
|
41
|
|
00:02:39,250 --> 00:02:43,480
|
|
let's try to do that and clone that repository. So we're going to copy this URL.
|
|
|
|
42
|
|
00:02:43,480 --> 00:02:48,300
|
|
To do that, we're going to execute git clone and specify the URL that we
|
|
|
|
43
|
|
00:02:48,300 --> 00:02:52,310
|
|
just copied. And you can see that the project was created, was cloned locally.
|
|
|
|
44
|
|
00:02:52,310 --> 00:02:55,760
|
|
And if we go under myrepo, which is the name of the repository, you can see that
|
|
|
|
45
|
|
00:02:55,760 --> 00:02:59,570
|
|
the README file that we created on GitHub is here. So if we create a new file,
|
|
|
|
46
|
|
00:02:59,570 --> 00:03:03,340
|
|
which we're going to call again, newFile just to be clear. And then we
|
|
|
|
47
|
|
00:03:03,340 --> 00:03:07,920
|
|
can add it, commit it, specifying as usual a commit message. So at this point,
|
|
|
|
48
|
|
00:03:07,920 --> 00:03:11,940
|
|
we can push our locked out changes to the remote GitHub repository. And
|
|
|
|
49
|
|
00:03:11,940 --> 00:03:14,340
|
|
because the GitHub repository is password protected,
|
|
|
|
50
|
|
00:03:14,340 --> 00:03:17,660
|
|
we have to specify our login and password. And of course, if you
|
|
|
|
51
|
|
00:03:17,660 --> 00:03:21,770
|
|
pass the wrong password, GitHub is not going to let you in. So let's try again.
|
|
|
|
52
|
|
00:03:21,770 --> 00:03:25,110
|
|
Let's try to get the password right this time. I'm going to specify again,
|
|
|
|
53
|
|
00:03:25,110 --> 00:03:31,130
|
|
my login and my password. At this point, the push is successful and
|
|
|
|
54
|
|
00:03:31,130 --> 00:03:35,220
|
|
my changes are actually pushed to the master, which is the GitHub repository.
|
|
|
|
55
|
|
00:03:35,220 --> 00:03:39,020
|
|
To double check that, let's go back to the GitHub repository and as you can see,
|
|
|
|
56
|
|
00:03:39,020 --> 00:03:42,470
|
|
that the file that we added, newFile, is there as expected. And of course,
|
|
|
|
57
|
|
00:03:42,470 --> 00:03:45,880
|
|
there's many more things that you can do on the GitHub website, so
|
|
|
|
58
|
|
00:03:45,880 --> 00:03:48,410
|
|
I strongly encourage you to go and try out things. But
|
|
|
|
59
|
|
00:03:48,410 --> 00:03:51,980
|
|
the key message here is that the GitHub is a Git hosting website where you
|
|
|
|
60
|
|
00:03:51,980 --> 00:03:54,990
|
|
can get an account and create your remote repositories.
