Workflow using git

Install git on your machine:

See Git installation guide.

Create and setup your gitlab account:

To create a gitlab acount see Gitlab Sign Up.

In the settings tab add your SSH key to your gitlab account. If you don't have a ssh key see Learn how to create a SSH key.

Clone a repository into a new local directory:

	[user@fedora ~]$ mkdir my_repo 
	[user@fedora ~]$ cd my_repo
    [user@fedora my_repo]$ git clone git@git01.ncg.ingrid.pt:lip-computing/project_name.git

Create a new branch to work on a new feature:

	[user@fedora my_repo]$ cd project_name
    [user@fedora project_name]$ git branch <name_of_branch>
	[user@fedora project_name]$ git checkout new_feature 
	Switched to branch 'new_feature'  

AddPush your changes to the remote repository

    [user@fedora project_name]$ git add new_feature.py
    [user@fedora project_name]$ git status
    On branch new_feature
    Changes to be committed:
      (use "git restore --staged <file>..." to unstage)
        new file:   new_feature.py

At this point your changes were added to the staging area. First commit your changes and push them to the remote repository to that they are available for other team members to review.

    [user@fedora project_name]$ git commit -m "<your_commit_message>"
    [new_feature f8ebb26] <your_commit_message>
