Place to try Github related things
- Get your local copy of the source,
git clone https://github.com/CSCI3130/Sandbox
-
To make changes to the repository make sure that you have the latest version of the source:
git pull
-
Before making any modifications, checkout a new branch to work in
git checkout -b relevant-name-for-change
, this will create a new branch where you are free to make unlimited commits -
You are now ready to make your modifications!
$EDITOR file
-
When your modifications are made, you can get a status of what files have changed
git status
-
When a file is untracked add it with
git add file
orgit add -A
to track all the files from your current directory recursively. -
If you want to have a look at exacly what was changed,
git diff
-
When your are ready to commit a change,
git commit -m "message for your commit"
if you ommit the -m flag, your$EDITOR
will be opened. Try to summarize the commit in 50 characters, and write any other details on a separate line as this will allow github to display the whole message efficiently -
Keep making changes and commits, until your branch goal is reached, and your code passes all the tests. If other people will be working on the same branch, make sure to push you branch to the github repository
git push -u origin relevant-name-for-change
-
When you're all done with the developing, rebase your branch from origin/master,
git rebase origin/master
-
This might cause conflicts which must be resolved before merging the branches. Resolve conflicts manually by editing the conflicted file(s)
-
Once everything has been resolved, make sure that all the tests still pass. if any test fails and it has nothing to do with any code you modified, create a new issue on the github page. Fix any tests you can, and commit again
-
You are now ready to push
git push -u origin relevant-name-for-change
-
Create a pull/merge request to be merged into master. There will be a code review phase by the repository admin and your branch will be merged with master
Please install maven (as it will be taught during the course). We will be using it to automate the compilation in an IDE independent way, and to help with the testing setup.
-
To build a maven project,
mvn package
-
To test,
mvn test
-
To clean,
mvn clean
Feel free to test out things and modify this App in your own branch, and try out pull requests.
