+# Best practices
+
+* `pull` before `push`
+* Work on your <font color="red">own</font> branch (in your own fork), and **not** on `master` and **not** on `develop`
+* Do **not push** to `master`, but **submit a Pull Request (PR)**
+* Get your code **reviewed** by your peers (submit a PR!)
+* Submit a PR **often**!
+* `clone` a repository, do not download the `.zip` file.
+* Do **not** combine `git` commands
+   ```bash
+   $ git commit -am "myMessage" # do not do this
+   ```
+* Stage only 1 file at once using
+   ```bash
+   $ git add myFile.md
+   ```
+* Commit **only a few files** at once (after multiple separate `git add` commands)
+* `Push` often - avoid conflicts
+
+Remember: **A `push` a day keeps conflicts away!**

+# Development scheme
+
+
+Generally, in a repository, there are guidelines for contributing.
+
+<div class="fragment">
+
+A common development scheme is dual with a:
+
+- **development** version of the code on `develop`
+- **stable** version of the code on `master`
+
+
+A **version** of the code is referred to as a **branch**.
+
+<div class="fragment">
+
+<img src="slides/img/icon-live-demo.png" height="100px">
+
+
+<font color="red">In the practice repository, the development branch is called `develop`!</font>
+
+<div class="fragment">
+
+![bulb](slides/img/bulb.png) Use this dual development scheme for your own repositories!
+
+
+
+# Branches
+
+A **version** of the code (i.e., a **branch**) is made up of a sequence of code changes.
+
+<div class="fragment">
+
+These individual code changes are called **commits**.
+
+
+For instance, the `master` and `develop` branches can be represented as a timeline:
+<img src="slides/img/branch-master.png" class="branch-master" height="500em"/>
+
+
+
+# Switch between branches
+
+List all branches of the repository with
+```bash
+$ git branch -a
+```
+
+Exit by typing `q`. The branch with the * is the current branch.
+
+<div class="fragment">
+
+Checkout another branch
+```bash
+$ git checkout <branchName>
+```
+
+<div class="fragment">
+
+You can switch to the `develop` branch with
+```bash
+$ git checkout develop
+```
+If the local branch does not exist but the remote does, it is created automatically.
+
+<div class="fragment">
+
+<img src="slides/img/icon-live-demo.png" height="100px">

+
+
+# Create your own version
+
+Assume that you want to work on a file:
+
+<div class="fragment">
+
+<font color="red">Create a new **branch**!</font>
+
+```bash
+$ git checkout -b myBranch
+```
+The `-b` flag creates the branch. Locally, you have your own version now:
+<img src="slides/img/branch-create.png" class="branch-create" height="500em"/>
+
+
+
+
+Push your version to your fork:
+```bash
+$ git push origin myBranch
+```

2021/2021-03-18_basicGitTraining/slides/cloneRepo.md

+# How do I start working on a repository?
+
+You have to `clone` it first:
+
+```bash
+$ git clone git@github.com:LCSB-BioCore/basic-git-practice.git
+```
+
+If you did not configure your SSH key, clone using HTTPS:
+```bash
+$ git clone https://github.com/LCSB-BioCore/basic-git-practice.git
+```
+
+You will be prompted to enter your credentials.

2021/2021-03-18_basicGitTraining/slides/configuration.md

+# How to configure `git`?
+
+```bash
+$ git config --global user.name "Firstname Lastname"
+$ git config --global user.email "first.last@uni.lu"
+```
+
+Test whether your username and email have been registered
+
+```bash
+$ git config --list
+```
+
+This should list the configuration with `user.name` and `user.email`.
+
+Exit by typing `q`.
+
+
+
+# What is an SSH key?
+
+An SSH key is a secure access credential.
+
+**Principle**: <br><br>
+Communicate **securely** with Github/Gitlab **without** entering the username/password.
+
+
+
+# How do I get and set my SSH key?
+
+Check if you already have an SSH key:
+
+```bash
+$ ls -al ~/.ssh
+```
+
+If there are 2 files named `id_rsa`, you have an SSH key.
+
+If you don’t have yet an SSH key, you have to generate one:
+```bash
+$ ssh-keygen -t rsa # -b 4096
+```
+
+If you set a password to your key (recommended), add it to the `ssh-agent`:
+```bash
+$ eval "$(ssh-agent -s)"
+$ ssh-add -K ~/.ssh/id_rsa
+```
+
+Then, add the SSH key to Github/Gitlab.

+# The 5 essential commands
+
+
+**Yes**, you only need 5 commands!
+
+`pull, status, add, commit, push`
+
+or in other words (remember these!):
+```bash
+$ git pull <remote> <branch>
+$ git status
+$ git add myFile.md # example
+$ git commit -m "myMessage" # example
+$ git push <remote> <branch>
+```
+
+
+
+
+# Pull the latest version of an existing branch
+
+Pull the latest revision on branch `myBranch`:
+```bash
+$ git pull origin myBranch
+# Already up to date
+```
+
+<div class="fragment">
+
+Verify its `status` with:
+```bash
+$ git status
+```
+
+
+
+# Modify a file
+
+Copy the file `firstnameLastname.md` in the folder `_attendees` and rename it with your firstname:
+
+```bash
+$ cd _attendees
+$ cp firstnameLastname.md myName.md
+```
+
+Then, make your changes with your favorite editor!
+
+
+
+# Add your file to the stage
+
+First, check the repository status
+```bash
+$ git status
+# uncommitted changes (displayed in red)
+```
+
+
+<div class="fragment">
+
+Now, add the file (bring it on stage)
+```bash
+$ git add myName.md # replace myName
+$ git status
+# returns the same as before, generally in green (means staged)
+```
+
+<div class="fragment">
+
+**ADVANCED**: If there have been more changes after the file has been added, you can see your changes in the terminal
+```bash
+$ git diff
+```
+exit with `q`
+
+
+
+# Add a commit message
+
+```bash
+$ git commit -m "Add the profile of <myName>"
+$ git status
+```
+
+
+
+# Push your file to your fork
+
+```bash
+$ git push origin myBranch
+```
+
+<div class="fragment">
+
+**ADVANCED**: see the log of all the commits (and your last one) in the terminal
+```bash
+$ git log
+```
+exit by typing `q`.

+
+
+# What is a `fork`?
+
+- In general, when contributing to a repository, you only have **read** access.
+- In other words, you can only **pull** (unless it is your own repository or access has been granted).
+- In general, you **cannot write** changes. In other words, you do not have **push** access.
+- You have to work on your **own copy**.
+- In other words, you have to work on your own <font color="red">**fork**</font>.
+
+
+
+# How to get a fork?
+
+Browse to the original repository and click on the button `Fork`:
+
+![Fork the repo](https://help.github.com/assets/images/help/repository/fork_button.jpg)
+
+<img src="slides/img/icon-live-demo.png" height="100px">
+
+
+
+# Time to practice!
+
+Fork the practice repository: <br><br>
+https://github.com/LCSB-BioCore/basic-git-practice<br><br>
+
+
+Then, clone your fork to your home directory!
+
+<img src="slides/img/icon-live-demo.png" height="100px">
+
+```bash
+$ $ git clone git@github.com:<yourName>/basic-git-practice.git
+```
+
+Change to the practice directory with:
+```bash
+$ cd basic-git-practice
+```
+
+<img src="slides/img/icon-live-demo.png" height="100px">
+
+If you did not configure your SSH key, clone using HTTPS:

+
+# A note on shortcuts ...
+
+<font color="red">
+Any other rudimentary method such as
+
+*'I simply download the `.zip` and unzip it - works like a charm!'*
+
+shall **be avoided**!
+</font>
+
+<br>
+
+**Why?**
+
+
+
+# How to update my fork?
+
+As you have your own fork, it will not automatically be updated once the original repository is updated.
+
+![bulb](slides/img/bulb.png) You have to update it yourself!

+**More on that later!**

+
+GitHub/Gitlab are both **publicly available**, but GitLab can be **on-premise**.
