[Master Class] [Designer and Developer Workflow] [Setting up the Git Repository]
0:00
So now, we have our Ruby on Rails application generated.
0:06
So, the next step I want to take is to go ahead and create the git repository
0:09
that we'll be working with.
0:14
Now, this master class is really more about the workflow.
0:16
This project is not something that Nick and I have already created
0:19
and are simply going over again.
0:22
We're doing this in real time, so you may see mistakes appear as we go along,
0:24
and you may see us just sort of go down the wrong path, but the beauty of this is
0:28
it's the development process, so we always have the opportunity to go back
0:32
and change something.
0:35
We're really not deploying the application, so we're really flexible in what we do.
0:37
So, let's go ahead and create the git repository.
0:42
So, I'm inside my easyjobs folder here.
0:45
I'll go ahead and do "git init."
0:48
And now we have a new git repository, and now I'll do "git add."
0:51
And if we take a look at our git status here, we can see we have all of our new files
0:57
added to it and even a git ignore file.
1:02
If we want to see what's in the default git ignore file that Rails created,
1:05
we can just open it up in TextMate.
1:09
And we can see that the default git ignore file for a Rails application
1:13
excludes the bundle directory, the database, the logs and the temp directory.
1:16
So, that looks pretty good for us.
1:21
So now, we want to go ahead and commit, but before we do that, I want to configure
1:24
my git so my name is attached to it and my email's attached when I commit.
1:28
So, the way we can do that is to type "git config" and we want to configure
1:34
the value "user.name," and I'll set it to Jim Hoskins.
1:40
This is going to set the name for our current project that we're in by default.
1:48
If we wanted to set up git to have a name for our computer in every project,
1:52
we could pass "--global," but this is a shared computer that we're using right now,
1:57
so I want to go ahead and just say this directory I'm going to go ahead and say
2:02
I only want to configure for this project.
2:06
So, I'm going to leave off the global that you would typically use.
2:09
And then I also want to configure the email address.
2:13
And I'll just put in my email address, and we are set up.
2:21
So now what I'm going to do is go ahead and commit,
2:30
and I'll just pass it the message of "Rails init."
2:34
So, we've created the first commit in our git repository,
2:41
and we can take a look at it just by typing "git log," and we can see that
2:45
my name and email address was attached properly to this commit,
2:49
which is good because there are going to be multiple people working on this project.
2:52
So, we want to make sure the information looks right.
2:56
So now, we want to set up our GitHub project.
3:02
The project is going to be hosted under the GitHub user Team Treehouse,
3:06
and this is going to be sort of the owner of our application,
3:09
and then we'll go ahead and set up Nick and myself as collaborators on this project
3:13
since we both have our own GitHub accounts.
3:17
So, let's go ahead and create a new repository.
3:20
I'm going to call it "Easy Jobs," and we'll say "The job board for the worlds easiest jobs."
3:23
We don't have a home page yet, and I'm going to mark this as private
3:39
so only Nick and I can work together on it.
3:44
Now, in order to create a private repository, you do need to pay for GitHub.
3:47
If you want to develop it as an open source project, you can use GitHub free.
3:51
So, let's go ahead and create the repository, and now it's giving us our empty project.
3:55
So now, it's going to give us some details on how to set up the remote origin
4:04
for GitHub so we can push to it, and what I'm going to do is
4:08
we've already done these steps, we're inside and we've initialized.
4:13
So, I'm just going to go ahead and select this line here.
4:17
This is going to add the remote of TeamTreehouseEasyJobs to our list
4:21
so we can push to it.
4:27
So, I'm just going to copy this, and if I paste it in and we run it,
4:29
if we take a look at git remote, we can see we now have a remote called origin,
4:33
which is hooked up to our GitHub.
4:39
Now, if we try to push it right now, it won't work.
4:41
So, let's try "git push origin master."
4:45
Now, we're going to verify the authenticity key for our first time,
4:49
and now we get a permission denied error, and this is because we haven't set up
4:55
our private key for this computer to interface with GitHub to authenticate us.
4:59
So, what I'm actually going to do is set up collaborators for Nick and myself
5:11
on the project, and then I'll create a key and add it to my personal account.
5:14
So, what I'm going to do is in my project here, I'm going to click on "admin."
5:19
And we have some information here, and let's click on "collaborators."
5:24
So, I'm going to add my GitHub account, which is Jim R. Hoskins.
5:28
And we'll go ahead and add Nick's as well.
5:33
Cool, so we're both set up.
5:38
Now, I'm actually going to log out of the Team Treehouse account,
5:40
and I'll log into mine.
5:43
So now, I'm logged in as Jim R. Hoskins, my personal account.
5:48
And we can see that I've been added to the private repository of teamtreehouse/easyjobs.
5:51
Now, this is a new computer for me to work on, so I do need to go ahead
5:57
and create my SSH key and add it to my personal list of keys
6:01
so when I use this computer, GitHub knows that it's me,
6:06
and that I'm authenticated to commit to easy jobs.
6:09
So, on our computer, we're going to go back to our terminal,
6:13
and I'm going to go ahead and create my key.
6:16
So, we can do this by using the program called "ssh-keygen,"
6:20
and we'll do an rsa key by doing "-t rsa."
6:24
We'll associate it with the email Jim at Carsonified.
6:29
Let's go ahead and run this, and we're going to save it into our default location,
6:34
so I'll just click through enter, and let's enter a pass phrase
6:39
in order to protect our ssh key.
6:44
So, it's gone ahead and created our ssh keys, and we can see them in the
6:52
home/.ssh directory.
6:58
So, we have our id rsa which is our private key which we want to keep a secret.
7:02
And the id rsa.pub is the public key, and this is what we're going to give to GitHub
7:06
so we can identify that our private key is authenticated to work on GitHub.
7:13
So, let's actually open up our idrsa.pub.
7:20
So, we'll open up mate.home/.ssh/idrsa.pub.
7:23
So here, we can see this is the public key that we're going to be passing
7:32
to the GitHub page.
7:35
So, let's go back to GitHub.
7:38
We're signed in under my account, and we'll go to account settings,
7:40
ssh public keys, and add another public key.
7:44
And we'll go ahead and say our easy jobs machine.
7:51
And I'm going to go and copy all of this, and we'll paste it in.
7:58
And if we add the key, we can see we've now added it.
8:03
So now, our computer should be authenticated with GitHub to identify
8:07
that this computer is the user Jim R. Hoskins, and the user Jim R. Hoskins
8:11
is allowed to commit to the easy jobs repository.
8:16
So now, if we try to do "git push origin master," we should have
8:19
all the authentication we need to go ahead and push it.
8:24
Now, OS X has opened up a password dialog, and this is because
8:31
we have our ssh key protected by a pass phrase,
8:35
which I'm going to enter here to unlock it.
8:38
And let's go ahead and remember this so we don't have to keep typing it in every time.
8:41
And so now, we can see that the push has worked.
8:49
So, if we go back to the easy jobs page,
8:52
we can see that our commit has now shown up.
8:55
We see our first commit here for Rails init, and we can see everything's been pushed,
8:58
and we have a default Rails project.
9:03
So now, I'm going to go ahead and send a mesage saying that the project
9:06
is now in GitHub, and he can go ahead and set himself up and pull the project.
9:08
"Hey Nick, I set up the GitHub repository for our project."
9:14
"It's at TeamTreehouse/EasyJobs."
9:18
"So, I've added you as a collaborator, if you want to go ahead and pull it,
9:21
you can start working on it."
