How to use git? ¶
Anyone who has access to the Git platform is welcome to edit and improve the contents of the repositories. However, in order to ensure that things don’t get ugly, “Developer” access was granted to all members, meaning that in order to push the commits to the main master branch (i.e. the one used for production), you will need to perform a Merge Request .
Do Merge Requests ¶
If you want to edit the content of a repository for which you don’t have “Master” access, you can still ask for your edits to be reflected in the master branch by doing what is called a Merge Request . This can be done as follows:
-
As usual, clone the repository you want to edit, e.g.:
git clone https://gitlab.com/hpo-uq/hyppo.git
-
From the repository you just cloned, create and switch to a local branch in which you can do the edit:
git checkout -b mybranch
-
Once you have done all the edits you wanted, you can push the branch on the git server:
git push origin mybranch
-
Once your branch has been pushed to the remote server, you will see a
Create merge request
option on the online webpage of the repository you cloned. Click on edit and submit the request.
Future edits ¶
For future edits, you can simply pull new updates from the master branch onto your local branch. Use the
--rebase
option to ensure that your un-committed changes are not overwritten:
git pull --rebase origin master
Future edits on your local branch can then be pushed to the remote server:
git add .
git commit -m "new commit message"
git push origin mybranch
If you wish to delete your local branch, this can be done as follows:
# Switch to master branch
git checkout master
# Delete local branch
git branch -d mybranch
Loading submodule ¶
All the product files from this documentation can be found within this separate Gitlab repository which needs to be loaded as submodule within the HYPPO repository in order to compile properly, this can be done by typing the following command within the software’s repository:
git submodule init
git submodule update
