Git Repository

We use this is a Git repository to disseminate the course material. Please use a Git client to clone this repository regularly.

What is Git?

Git is a distributed version control system for source code management. It provides a set of commands to interact with a local repository as well as a remote repository (server). GitHub and GitLab are two server implementations for Git often used as source-code-hosting facilities.

Install a Git Client

The are many different Git clients. The clients can be used to interact with both GitLab and GitHub. The purists use the command line interface (CLI).

For now we recommend to install both,

1. The CLI based Git client and
2. the GUI based GitHub Desktop.

Clone the Repository

Command line: git clone https://github.com/rolfbecker/EE_2.06_SciProg_SS2021.git

With GitHub Desktop:

1. Open GitHub desktop
2. Go to File -> Clone repository ...
3. Change to tab URL
4. Copy the URL https://github.com/rolfbecker/EE_2.06_SciProg_SS2021.git into the URL field
5. Choose your local path (directory). In this directory a new directory with the repo name will be created.
6. Press button clone.
