# 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 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 (i)
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"/>
# Create your own version (ii)
Push your version to your fork:
```bash
$ git push origin myBranch
```
<img src="slides/img/icon-live-demo.png" height="100px">
# 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 first and last names:
```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`?

# 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>.
<br>
<h2>How to get a fork?</h1>
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)
# Time to practice!
Fork the practice repository: <br><br>
https://github.com/LCSB-BioCore/basic-git-practice
Then, clone your fork to your home directory!
```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:
```bash
$ git clone https://github.com/<yourName>/basic-git-practice.git
```
# 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>
**Why?**
# How to update my fork?
As you have your own fork, it will not automatically update once the original repository is update.
![bulb](slides/img/bulb.png) You have to update it yourself!
**More on that later!**
# GitHub and GitLab
<img src="https://github.githubassets.com/images/modules/logos_page/GitHub-Mark.png" alt="GitHub" style="width: 200px;"/>
<img src="https://gitlab.com/gitlab-com/gitlab-artwork/raw/master/logo/logo-extra-whitespace.png" alt="GitLab" style="width: 200px;"/>
GitHub and GitLab are VCS systems.
GitHub/Gitlab are both **publicly available**, but GitLab can be **on-premise**.
Positive point: GitHub and GitLab are (almost) the same.

# Pull and merge requests
If you want your changes to be reflected on the `develop` or `master` branches,
**submit a PR** via the Github interface.
Use the **interface** to make use of your peers to review your code!
<img src="slides/img/branch-merge.png" class="branch-merge" height="500em"/>
Once merged, you can delete the branch via the interface.

8. How do I synchronize my fork?
9. Best practices
# Synchronize your fork (i)
![bulb](slides/img/bulb.png) Remember, we have to regularly update our own copy of the code.
Add the `upstream` address (original/protected repository)
```bash
$ git remote add upstream git@github.com:LCSB-BioCore/basic-git-practice.git
```
![bulb](slides/img/bulb.png) Note the change in the URL.
You can then check whether the remote address is set correctly
```bash
$ git remote -v
```
<div class="fragment">
Fetch (download) the changes from upstream (fetch = pull & merge)
```bash
$ git fetch upstream
```
# Synchronize your fork (ii)
Merge the retrieved changes on the `master` branch:
```bash
$ git checkout master
$ git merge upstream/master
$ git push origin master
```
<div class="fragment">
Do the same for the `develop` branch.

# Note on Microsoft Azure Devops
This course aims at the basics of using `git`.
In order to understand the concepts of `git`, the terminal will be used instead of any GUI.
The same terminology applies.
More info on Azure Devops & Git: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/devops/repos/git/
# First steps in the terminal
Starting the terminal presents itself with a line where you can enter a command
```bash
cesar@myComputer>
```
Often written, for covenience, as
```bash
$
```
When you open your terminal (shell), you are located
in your home directory (unless otherwise configured), denoted as `~/`.
# Essential Linux commands (i)
List the contents of a directory
```bash
$ ls #-lash
```
Create a directory
```bash
$ mkdir myNewDirectory
```
Change the directory to a specific folder
```bash
$ cd myNewDirectory
```
Change the directory 1 level and 2 levels up
```bash
$ cd ..
# 1 level up
$ cd ../..
# 2 levels up
```
# Essential Linux commands (ii)
Move a file or a directory
```bash
$ mv myFile.m myNewDirectory/.
```
Rename a file or a directory
```bash
$ mv myFile.m myNewFile.m
$ mv myNewDirectory myDirectory
```

# What is `git`? (i)
<!-- ![](slides/img/git_definition.png) -->
`git` is a **version control system** (VCS) for tracking changes in computer files and coordinating work on those files among multiple people [1].
Designed and implemented in 2005 by **Linus Torvalds**

`I'm an egotistical bastard, and I name all my projects after myself.
First Linux, now git.`
<br>
Linus Torvald (2007-06-14)
# What is the use of `git`?
* No need to fully rewrite code; **reuse code** and **save time**
* Keep the changes you made over time (**history**)
* Allows you to **backtrack** (if necessary) and undo unwanted changes
* Easily **add contributions** of your collaborators to the main code base
<br>
Other points:
- git shall not be considered as a nuisance, but as a tool that should help to track and trace the code.
- git is not to track performance. Not using it shows exactly the opposite.
