Cloning a Github Project

If you are planning to work on IT, having knowledge about Git is immensely important for tracking changes in computer files or coordinating work on those files among multiple people. If you have never heard about git before this, trust me, you must go through this article.

After you have installed Git and created an account on Github already (if not follow this article ), go to the Github repository you want to clone to your local machine. Say you want to clone and work on the following repository:

https://github.com/sulavtimsina/phpMVC

Click on Clone or Download.


Click on "Use SSH" and copy the URL to clipboard.


Go to the folder where you want to clone (download) this repository, right click on the white space and select Git Bash Here to open up the git bash on this location.



On the git bash type:

git clone git@github.com:sulavtimsina/phpMVC.git

If you haven't already added the SSH public key to your Github profile, then you may get this error:



Follow this link or watch the following video to add your SSH key to your Github account.




After that, you will be able to clone the repository using the SSH.

This is what you get after cloning:



If you want to use the Github project and make a own version for yourself, you could fork the project and clone the new repository and work on it. I will assume that you want to add to the current project and not create a forked project for yourself.

Now go inside www/adgl/phpMVC and start git bash there. You can google on how to add, commit and push to github. I will better create a video tutorial to explain it. Writing article is tiresome.

Enabling Internet in Android Emulator

Image
 This experiment is run on a Mac Laptop. For Windows, the file path may be different but the commands should be essentially the same. 1. cd to the location: `~/Library/Android/sdk/emulator` Now view the list of available emulators with: ` ./emulator -list-avds` Say you want to enable internet in the first device Nexus_5_API_30,  make sure the emulator isn't running(it's closed), then run the following command: ` ./emulator -avd Nexus_5_API_30 -dns-server 8.8.8.8 -read-only` Now the emulator starts and you can browse internet in it.  Most importantly you can now sign in to Google Play store and perform various operations, like in my case I needed to pair a phone emulator to a watch emulator which needed Wear OS app to be installed on the phone and that needed Google Play Store login. Let me know if this works for you or not.

Important GIT Techniques

To find the names of all files that were changed (deleted, modified or added) in a given commit git diff-tree --no-commit-id --name-only -r bd61ad98 To save those files' names to output.txt git diff-tree --no-commit-id --name-only -r bd61ad98 > output.tx ========================== Using diff2html-cli for generating preety diff between two commits: Install diff2html-cli: Install node first, In command line brew install node Then install diff2html-cli, in command line type: npm install -g diff2html-cli Run the command to find the diff.html file: git diff 8f8428f0d da63cef6c | diff2html -i stdin ============================= Scenario: You have cloned a project from github, you were working locally on it, changed the projects and commited to new local branch(Eg PostMethod). Now you want to also create a remote branch by same name(PostMethod) and push the local changes to that branch. git branch --set-upstream-to PostMethod origin/PostMethod Branch 'origin/PostMethod' set up...
