Using Git for Your Lab

Step 1: Forking My Repo

This step should only be done by one member of your team.

Go to this URL:

https://ada.csse.rose-hulman.edu/song3/csse490-wireless-networking

You’ll have to login with your rose credentials.
Click “fork”
Select your name as the namespace
Go to Settings > General > Permissions
Change the Project Visibility to “Private” and press “Save Changes”
Go to Settings > Members
Invite the other members of your team to your project (they may need to login at https://ada.csse.rose-hulman.edu/ so they show up in the list) as Maintainers
Invite the other team members and the instructor (Lixing Song) to your project as Maintainers.

Step 2: Checking out the Repo

This step should be done by everyone in your team.

In your browser, go to https://ada.csse.rose-hulman.edu and verify that you have access to your project. Copy the Repo URL.
Type
```
 git clone REPO-URL
```
In the future to get changes others have made go to the created directory and type
```
 git pull
```

Step 3: Commiting

When you have made changes and want to commit, first use “git status” to see the files you’ve changed.
To add a new/changed file to the commit
```
 git add FILENAME
```

When you’ve added all the files, use

 git commit -m "discriptive message about the changes made in this commit"

To push to the shared repo
```
 git push
```

To minimize merge conflicts, always pull before you start development and push as soon as your done. Avoid editing files at the same time other members are.
