# Training
This training material is the markdown used to generate training slides
which can be found at [End User Slides](https://gitlab-org.gitlab.io/end-user-training-slides/#/)
through it's [RevealJS](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/end-user-training-slides)
project.
## Git Intro
### What is a Version Control System (VCS)
- Records changes to a file
- Maintains history of changes
- Disaster Recovery
- Types of VCS: Local, Centralized and Distributed
### Short Story of Git
2018-10-15 14:42:47 +05:30
- 1991-2002: The Linux kernel was being maintained by sharing archived files
2016-11-03 12:29:30 +05:30
and patches.
- 2002: The Linux kernel project began using a DVCS called BitKeeper
- 2005: BitKeeper revoked the free-of-charge status and Git was created
### What is Git
- Distributed Version Control System
- Great branching model that adapts well to most workflows
- Fast and reliable
- Keeps a complete history
- Disaster recovery friendly
- Open Source
### Getting Help
- Use the tools at your disposal when you get stuck.
- Use `git help <command>` command
- Use Google (i.e. StackOverflow, Google groups)
2019-03-02 22:35:43 +05:30
- Read documentation at <https://git-scm.com>
2016-11-03 12:29:30 +05:30
## Git Setup
2019-10-12 21:52:04 +05:30
Workshop Time!
2016-11-03 12:29:30 +05:30
### Setup
- Windows: Install 'Git for Windows'
2019-12-21 20:55:43 +05:30
- <https://gitforwindows.org>
2016-11-03 12:29:30 +05:30
- Mac: Type `git` in the Terminal application.
- If it's not installed, it will prompt you to install it.
- Linux
- Debian: `sudo apt-get install git-all`
- Red Hat `sudo yum install git-all`
### Configure
- One-time configuration of the Git client:
```bash
git config --global user.name "Your Name"
git config --global user.email you@example.com
2019-02-15 15:39:39 +05:30
```
2016-11-03 12:29:30 +05:30
2018-12-05 23:21:45 +05:30
- If you don't use the global flag you can set up a different author for
2016-11-03 12:29:30 +05:30
each project
- Check settings with:
```bash
git config --global --list
```
2019-07-07 11:18:12 +05:30
2016-11-03 12:29:30 +05:30

2019-10-12 21:52:04 +05:30
- Instructions: [SSH](http://doc.gitlab.com/ce/ssh/README.html)
2016-11-03 12:29:30 +05:30
### Workspace
- Choose a directory on you machine easy to access
- Create a workspace or development directory
- This is where we'll be working and adding content
```bash
mkdir ~/development
cd ~/development
-or-
mkdir ~/workspace
2019-02-15 15:39:39 +05:30
cd ~/workspace
2016-11-03 12:29:30 +05:30
```
## Git Basics
### Git Workflow
- Untracked files
2019-10-12 21:52:04 +05:30
- New files that Git has not been told to track previously.
2016-11-03 12:29:30 +05:30
- Working area (Workspace)
2019-10-12 21:52:04 +05:30
- Files that have been modified but are not committed.
2016-11-03 12:29:30 +05:30
- Staging area (Index)
2019-10-12 21:52:04 +05:30
- Modified files that have been marked to go in the next commit.
2016-11-03 12:29:30 +05:30
- Upstream
2019-10-12 21:52:04 +05:30
- Hosted repository on a shared server
2016-11-03 12:29:30 +05:30
### GitLab
- GitLab is an application to code, test and deploy.
- Provides repository management with access controls, code reviews,
issue tracking, Merge Requests, and other features.
2019-12-21 20:55:43 +05:30
- The hosted version of GitLab is <https://gitlab.com>
2016-11-03 12:29:30 +05:30
### New Project
2019-12-21 20:55:43 +05:30
- Sign in into your <https://gitlab.com> account
2016-11-03 12:29:30 +05:30
- Create a project
2019-03-02 22:35:43 +05:30
- Choose to import from 'Any Repo by URL' and use <https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/training-examples.git>
2016-11-03 12:29:30 +05:30
- On your machine clone the `training-examples` project
### Git and GitLab basics
1. Edit `edit_this_file.rb` in `training-examples`
2019-02-15 15:39:39 +05:30
1. See it listed as a changed file (working area)
1. View the differences
1. Stage the file
1. Commit
1. Push the commit to the remote
2019-12-21 20:55:43 +05:30
1. View the Git log
2016-11-03 12:29:30 +05:30
```shell
# Edit `edit_this_file.rb`
git status
git diff
git add <file>
git commit -m 'My change'
git push origin master
git log
```
### Feature Branching
1. Create a new feature branch called `squash_some_bugs`
2019-02-15 15:39:39 +05:30
1. Edit `bugs.rb` and remove all the bugs.
1. Commit
1. Push
2016-11-03 12:29:30 +05:30
```shell
git checkout -b squash_some_bugs
# Edit `bugs.rb`
git status
git add bugs.rb
git commit -m 'Fix some buggy code'
git push origin squash_some_bugs
```
## Merge Request
- When you want feedback create a merge request
- Target is the default branch (usually master)
- Assign or mention the person you would like to review
- Add `WIP` to the title if it's a work in progress
- When accepting, always delete the branch
- Anyone can comment, not just the assignee
- Push corrections to the same branch
### Merge request example
- Create your first merge request
- Use the blue button in the activity feed
- View the diff (changes) and leave a comment
- Push a new commit to the same branch
- Review the changes again and notice the update
### Feedback and Collaboration
- Merge requests are a time for feedback and collaboration
- Giving feedback is hard
- Be as kind as possible
- Receiving feedback is hard
- Be as receptive as possible
- Feedback is about the best code, not the person. You are not your code
- Feedback and Collaboration

2019-10-12 21:52:04 +05:30
- Review the Thoughtbot code-review guide for suggestions to follow when reviewing merge requests:
[Thoughtbot](https://github.com/thoughtbot/guides/tree/master/code-review)
2019-12-04 20:38:33 +05:30
- See GitLab merge requests for examples: [Merge Requests](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-foss/merge_requests)
2016-11-03 12:29:30 +05:30
## Merge Conflicts
2019-03-02 22:35:43 +05:30
- Happen often
- Learning to fix conflicts is hard
- Practice makes perfect
- Force push after fixing conflicts. Be careful!
2016-11-03 12:29:30 +05:30
### Example Plan
2019-02-15 15:39:39 +05:30
2016-11-03 12:29:30 +05:30
1. Checkout a new branch and edit conflicts.rb. Add 'Line4' and 'Line5'.
2019-02-15 15:39:39 +05:30
1. Commit and push
1. Checkout master and edit conflicts.rb. Add 'Line6' and 'Line7' below 'Line3'.
1. Commit and push to master
1. Create a merge request and watch it fail
1. Rebase our new branch with master
1. Fix conflicts on the conflicts.rb file.
1. Stage the file and continue rebasing
1. Force push the changes
1. Finally continue with the Merge Request
2016-11-03 12:29:30 +05:30
### Example 1/2
2019-10-12 21:52:04 +05:30
```sh
git checkout -b conflicts_branch
2016-11-03 12:29:30 +05:30
2019-10-12 21:52:04 +05:30
# vi conflicts.rb
# Add 'Line4' and 'Line5'
2016-11-03 12:29:30 +05:30
2019-10-12 21:52:04 +05:30
git commit -am "add line4 and line5"
git push origin conflicts_branch
2016-11-03 12:29:30 +05:30
2019-10-12 21:52:04 +05:30
git checkout master
2016-11-03 12:29:30 +05:30
2019-10-12 21:52:04 +05:30
# vi conflicts.rb
# Add 'Line6' and 'Line7'
git commit -am "add line6 and line7"
git push origin master
```
2016-11-03 12:29:30 +05:30
### Example 2/2
Create a merge request on the GitLab web UI. You'll see a conflict warning.
2019-10-12 21:52:04 +05:30
```sh
git checkout conflicts_branch
git fetch
git rebase master
2016-11-03 12:29:30 +05:30
2019-10-12 21:52:04 +05:30
# Fix conflicts by editing the files.
2016-11-03 12:29:30 +05:30
2019-10-12 21:52:04 +05:30
git add conflicts.rb
# No need to commit this file
2016-11-03 12:29:30 +05:30
2019-10-12 21:52:04 +05:30
git rebase --continue
2016-11-03 12:29:30 +05:30
2019-10-12 21:52:04 +05:30
# Remember that we have rewritten our commit history so we
# need to force push so that our remote branch is restructured
git push origin conflicts_branch -f
```
2016-11-03 12:29:30 +05:30
### Notes
2019-03-02 22:35:43 +05:30
- When to use `git merge` and when to use `git rebase`
- Rebase when updating your branch with master
- Merge when bringing changes from feature to master

2016-11-03 12:29:30 +05:30
## Revert and Unstage
### Unstage
To remove files from stage use reset HEAD. Where HEAD is the last commit of the current branch:
2019-10-12 21:52:04 +05:30
```sh
git reset HEAD <file>
```
2016-11-03 12:29:30 +05:30
This will unstage the file but maintain the modifications. To revert the file back to the state it was in before the changes we can use:
2019-10-12 21:52:04 +05:30
```sh
git checkout -- <file>
```
2016-11-03 12:29:30 +05:30
2019-12-21 20:55:43 +05:30
To remove a file from disk and repo use `git rm` and to remove a directory use the `-r` flag:
2016-11-03 12:29:30 +05:30
2019-10-12 21:52:04 +05:30
```sh
git rm '*.txt'
git rm -r <dirname>
```
2016-11-03 12:29:30 +05:30
If we want to remove a file from the repository but keep it on disk, say we forgot to add it to our .gitignore file then use `--cache`:
2019-10-12 21:52:04 +05:30
```sh
git rm <filename> --cache
```
2016-11-03 12:29:30 +05:30
### Undo Commits
Undo last commit putting everything back into the staging area:
2019-10-12 21:52:04 +05:30
```sh
git reset --soft HEAD^
```
2016-11-03 12:29:30 +05:30
Add files and change message with:
2019-10-12 21:52:04 +05:30
```sh
git commit --amend -m "New Message"
```
2016-11-03 12:29:30 +05:30
Undo last and remove changes
2019-10-12 21:52:04 +05:30
```sh
git reset --hard HEAD^
```
2016-11-03 12:29:30 +05:30
Same as last one but for two commits back:
2019-10-12 21:52:04 +05:30
```sh
git reset --hard HEAD^^
```
2016-11-03 12:29:30 +05:30
Don't reset after pushing
### Reset Workflow
1. Edit file again 'edit_this_file.rb'
2019-02-15 15:39:39 +05:30
1. Check status
1. Add and commit with wrong message
1. Check log
1. Amend commit
1. Check log
1. Soft reset
1. Check log
1. Pull for updates
1. Push changes
2016-11-03 12:29:30 +05:30
2019-10-12 21:52:04 +05:30
```sh
# Change file edit_this_file.rb
git status
git commit -am "kjkfjkg"
git log
git commit --amend -m "New comment added"
git log
git reset --soft HEAD^
git log
git pull origin master
git push origin master
```
2016-11-03 12:29:30 +05:30
2019-12-21 20:55:43 +05:30
### `git revert` vs `git reset`
2016-11-03 12:29:30 +05:30
2019-02-15 15:39:39 +05:30
Reset removes the commit while revert removes the changes but leaves the commit
Revert is safer considering we can revert a revert
2016-11-03 12:29:30 +05:30
2019-10-12 21:52:04 +05:30
```sh
# Changed file
git commit -am "bug introduced"
git revert HEAD
# New commit created reverting changes
# Now we want to re apply the reverted commit
git log # take hash from the revert commit
git revert <rev commit hash>
# reverted commit is back (new commit created again)
```

### Version Control
2019-07-07 11:18:12 +05:30
2019-10-12 21:52:04 +05:30
- Local VCS was used with a filesystem or a simple db.
- Centralized VCS such as Subversion includes collaboration but
still is prone to data loss as the main server is the single point of
failure.
- Distributed VCS enables the team to have a complete copy of the project
and work with little dependency to the main server. In case of a main
server failing the project can be recovered by any of the latest copies
from the team
