It is targeted towards new members but is an helpfull reference for everyone. +## What are Git and GitLab -## Getting started +Before we dive into how to use the tools, first we need to understand a few things. We often come across these terms like Git, Gitlab and GitHub. Let's see definiton of all these: -To make it easy for you to get started with GitLab, here's a list of recommended next steps. +- **Git**: It is a versioning system that lets you track changes on files. This is the core program that manages the repositories, all of the commits, push or pull operations; +- **GitLab and GitHub**: Are services that provides access to remote Git repositories. In addition to hosting your code, the services provide additional features designed to help manage the development lifecycle. These additional features include managing the sharing of code between different people, bug tracking, wiki space and other tools. -Already a pro? Just edit this README.md and make it your own. Want to make it easy? [Use the template at the bottom](#editing-this-readme)! +GitHub is a publicly available, free service which requires all code (unless you have a paid account) be made open. Anyone can see code you push to GitHub and offer suggestions for improvement. -## Add your files +GitLab is a GitHub like service that organizations can use to provide internal management of git repositories. It is a self hosted Git repository management system that keeps the user code private and can be easily customized to fit an organization needs. -- [ ] [Create](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/user/project/repository/web_editor.html#create-a-file) or [upload](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/user/project/repository/web_editor.html#upload-a-file) files -- [ ] [Add files using the command line](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/gitlab-basics/add-file.html#add-a-file-using-the-command-line) or push an existing Git repository with the following command: +## Skyward's GitLab -``` -cd existing_repo -git remote add origin https://git.skywarder.eu/skyward/gitlab-guide.git -git branch -M main -git push -uf origin main -``` +The GitLab instance hosted by Skyward is available at [git.skywarder.eu](https://git.skywarder.eu). -## Integrate with your tools +The repositories are organized in groups and subgroups. [Here](https://git.skywarder.eu/explore/groups) you can see the complete list of groups. The top levels groups are those of the departments and directly under are thos of the IPTs. -- [ ] [Set up project integrations](https://git.skywarder.eu/skyward/gitlab-guide/-/settings/integrations) +The users can have different levels of permission over groups and repositories: +- **Guest**: Only read access; +- **Developer**: Read and write access to repositories. This allows to push commits; +- **Maintainer**: Can manage users and create repositories; +- **Owner**: Can archive or delete projects; -## Collaborate with your team +## New users -- [ ] [Invite team members and collaborators](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/user/project/members/) -- [ ] [Create a new merge request](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/user/project/merge_requests/creating_merge_requests.html) -- [ ] [Automatically close issues from merge requests](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/user/project/issues/managing_issues.html#closing-issues-automatically) -- [ ] [Enable merge request approvals](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/user/project/merge_requests/approvals/) -- [ ] [Automatically merge when pipeline succeeds](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/user/project/merge_requests/merge_when_pipeline_succeeds.html) - -## Test and Deploy - -Use the built-in continuous integration in GitLab. - -- [ ] [Get started with GitLab CI/CD](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/ci/quick_start/index.html) -- [ ] [Analyze your code for known vulnerabilities with Static Application Security Testing(SAST)](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/user/application_security/sast/) -- [ ] [Deploy to Kubernetes, Amazon EC2, or Amazon ECS using Auto Deploy](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/topics/autodevops/requirements.html) -- [ ] [Use pull-based deployments for improved Kubernetes management](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/user/clusters/agent/) -- [ ] [Set up protected environments](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/ci/environments/protected_environments.html) - -*** - -# Editing this README - -When you're ready to make this README your own, just edit this file and use the handy template below (or feel free to structure it however you want - this is just a starting point!). Thank you to [makeareadme.com](https://www.makeareadme.com/) for this template. - -## Suggestions for a good README -Every project is different, so consider which of these sections apply to yours. The sections used in the template are suggestions for most open source projects. Also keep in mind that while a README can be too long and detailed, too long is better than too short. If you think your README is too long, consider utilizing another form of documentation rather than cutting out information. - -## Name -Choose a self-explaining name for your project. - -## Description -Let people know what your project can do specifically. Provide context and add a link to any reference visitors might be unfamiliar with. A list of Features or a Background subsection can also be added here. If there are alternatives to your project, this is a good place to list differentiating factors. - -## Badges -On some READMEs, you may see small images that convey metadata, such as whether or not all the tests are passing for the project. You can use Shields to add some to your README. Many services also have instructions for adding a badge. - -## Visuals -Depending on what you are making, it can be a good idea to include screenshots or even a video (you'll frequently see GIFs rather than actual videos). Tools like ttygif can help, but check out Asciinema for a more sophisticated method. - -## Installation -Within a particular ecosystem, there may be a common way of installing things, such as using Yarn, NuGet, or Homebrew. However, consider the possibility that whoever is reading your README is a novice and would like more guidance. Listing specific steps helps remove ambiguity and gets people to using your project as quickly as possible. If it only runs in a specific context like a particular programming language version or operating system or has dependencies that have to be installed manually, also add a Requirements subsection. - -## Usage -Use examples liberally, and show the expected output if you can. It's helpful to have inline the smallest example of usage that you can demonstrate, while providing links to more sophisticated examples if they are too long to reasonably include in the README. - -## Support -Tell people where they can go to for help. It can be any combination of an issue tracker, a chat room, an email address, etc. - -## Roadmap -If you have ideas for releases in the future, it is a good idea to list them in the README. - -## Contributing -State if you are open to contributions and what your requirements are for accepting them. - -For people who want to make changes to your project, it's helpful to have some documentation on how to get started. Perhaps there is a script that they should run or some environment variables that they need to set. Make these steps explicit. These instructions could also be useful to your future self. - -You can also document commands to lint the code or run tests. These steps help to ensure high code quality and reduce the likelihood that the changes inadvertently break something. Having instructions for running tests is especially helpful if it requires external setup, such as starting a Selenium server for testing in a browser. - -## Authors and acknowledgment -Show your appreciation to those who have contributed to the project. - -## License -For open source projects, say how it is licensed. - -## Project status -If you have run out of energy or time for your project, put a note at the top of the README saying that development has slowed down or stopped completely. Someone may choose to fork your project or volunteer to step in as a maintainer or owner, allowing your project to keep going. You can also make an explicit request for maintainers. +If you have never logged in into Skyward's GitLab, you just need to use your @skywarder.eu Google account in [the login page](https://git.skywarder.eu/users/sign_in). After your first login you will have by default read access to all repositories, you can find the list [here](https://git.skywarder.eu/explore). If you need write access to some repositories and you do not have a Developer role yet, just ask your IPTL to have your priviledges raised.
