Git Workflow

• Developer:
  • For developing features
  • For fixing issues
• Tester:
  • Automation Testers develop test scripts for automation
• DevOps:
  • For maintaining DevOps Pipelines
  • For storing
    • K8s manifests
    • Dockerfiles
    • Terraform templates/modules
    • Ansible playbooks etc.
• Ways of Working
  • GUI (Graphical User interface)
  • Commandline

Approach

• Lets learn git
  • with single system
  • Add Remote (GitHub, Azure Source Repos, AWS CodeComit)
  • Branching Strategies
  • Hooks

Single System

• Configurations
• Creating local repositories
• How to work for multiple customers/versions

To understand Git Simulate Developer

• Lets create a configuration
• On every git commit (label on carton box)
  • Who has done the change
    • name
    • email
  • When did the change happen
  • What was changed
  • What is the message (label)

Git configurations

• Git has configurations of three types
  • System Config
  • Global config
  • local config
• The configuration is a text file
  • key=value
• Generally for user level information we use Global config
• If there is a config special to a repository we use local config
• To deal with configurations we have command

git config --help

• Lets add a username and user email config at global level

git config --global user.name qtdevops
git config --global user.email qtdevops@gmail.com

Create a Repository

• Create an empty folder

mkdir C:\temp\LearningGit\ltsalesman
cd C:\temp\LearningGit\ltsalesman

• Now initalize the folder with git init to make it a git repository

git init

Create commits

• Lets do some changes and execute git status
  
• git status command tries to show the status w.r.t to changes
• lets add all the changes to staging area

git add .

• lets check status

git status

* Now lets add all the changes from staging area into commit

git commit -m "<message>"
git status

* Lets view the commits

git log

Git deals with changeset (change)

• Lets create two changes
  • one change in existing file (modified)
  • one new file (untracked)
• untracked files in git status represent a new file add which was never part of history or commits
  
• Now lets add all the changes to staging area and them comit

git add --all

* Lets view history

* Lets draw an tree view of git

Note

• Home Directory:
  • Windows: C:\users\<username>
  • Mac: /Users/<username>
  • Linux: /home/<username>
• Refer Here for installing necessary softwares in Windows
• IDE (Integrated Developer Environment)
  • Eclipse/IntelliJ (Java)
  • Visual Studio (.net)
  • PyCharm/Spyder (python)
  • Visual Studio Code (any language)
• We will be using visual studio code
