repository in =simpleRepo= and populate it with some repository in =simpleRepo= and populate it with some
commits. The commits in this repository will correspond to the commits. The commits in this repository will correspond to the
diagrams in the slide-deck that relate to merging. diagrams in the slide-deck that relate to merging.
2) 2) Run the script =largeFile-setup.sh=. This will create another
git repository in =largeFileRepo= and populate it with the same
commits as in =simpleRepo=, and then puts in some more to create
and manipulate a large binary file, and then to remove it. This
will be used for the demonstration to remove a file completely
from the repository.
3) Run the script =gitDemo.sh=. This will replicate a previous git
repository as a bare repo in
=devTeamDemo/javaBootcampNoEclipse.git=, and then create a
number of clones to represent the actions of a team lead and two
developers, and mimic collaborative development among
them. =gitDemo.sh= takes one optional parameter, =-s=, which
will cause the progression to stop for 15 seconds following each
"actor's" push in order to afford the opportunity to look at the
git log.
4) Use the =gpg= utility to generate a key-pair so that you can
work through the commit- and tag-signing slide and sample
commands. If you have access to =gpg2= and not =gpg=, you'll
need to set the following =git config= to make sure it's picked
up: =git config --global gpg.program gpg2=.
5) Open the file =GitDeepDive.pdf=, and as you go through the
slides, refer to the /Sample Commands/ section below for
commands you can execute to get further insights.
** Sample commands
