Git Repository Spring Cleaning Using “BFG Repo-Cleaner”

August 25, 2017August 30, 2017 Daniel Adeniji BFG Repo-Cleaner, git, Git CMD, git commands, git commit, git push, git rm, GitHub, Roberto Tyley, Technical exceeds GitHub's file size limit of 100.00 MB, failed to push some refs, GH001, Large files detected, pre-receive hook declined, You may want to try Git Large File Storage

Background

I will be the first one to admit it, a lot of what I write about is for nothing sake; it is just to write.

As mum reminded me this last weekend, “you talk just for the sake of talking“.

To which I laughed, knowing she said it in the most endearing way.

This Time

This time it is different, I have an actual problem.

And, I have had since yesterday or day before.

Wanted to upload files to github, but “no luck“.

Error Message

I issued “git post”, but got this message posted below:

Git – GitHub – Private Repositories

June 6, 2017June 6, 2017 Daniel Adeniji git, GitHub, Troy Hunt Linux Torvalds

Background

A bit over 4 years ago, I read Troy Hunt’s blog titled “The Ghost Who Codes: How Anonymity is Killing Your Programming Career“.

Troy Hunt – The Ghost Who Codes: How Anonymity is Killing Your Programming Career

It is available here.

And, here are all the places he looked for the anonymous programmer….

4 Years Later

It is 4 years later, enough time to go through college, and get a college degree.

In between signed up for free GitHub.

Private Repositories

It is now time to sign up for a paid version.

Why Private

The reasons are numerous and includes:

Need for secured storage
- Sometimes I have code that is not yet complete, but I will still like to save to a location other than my laptop
- Occasionally have proprietary data such as credentials or server names that I will rather not share with the whole world
Saving Things Online
- Forces better coding practice
- Structure
- Succinct

Steps

To create private repositories, you need to pay monthly or yearly fees

Outline

Sojourn to github
Login to your Account or create a new one
On the top new bar click on the + sign
In the “New Repository” window
- Enter the Repository Name
- In the “Public or Private” Group box, Choose Private
- Enter Credit Card Info

Screen Shots

Menu – New Repository

On the top menu bar, click on to + sign

Repository – Private

Choose to create a Private Repository…

It is incredible how little it takes to encourage better Angels

I’m in Belgium! After 35 hours of travel to Porto in Portugal then 2 days of workshop plus a user group there, I’m now in Leuven which is in the home of epic Belgium beer. I’m now into day 2 of another workshop here after having done a user group on Azure last night so it’s turning into a very long week. Not a lot of new stuff to talk about blog wise, but I share what it’s like doing these events and some of the things I learn along the way.

CentOS :- Installing and Using GIT Command Line Interface

April 26, 2014February 22, 2018 Daniel Adeniji CentOS, GitHub, Linux, Redhat, Technical

Background

Now that my primary box is this Cent-OS Linux box, I need to make sure that I can share a bit on it.

With a web browser, I am able to post to wordpress.

And, I probably can look for a web interface to get to github, as well. But, I really need to re-familiarize with Bash and command line stuff.

And, so I will stay away from nice, pretty GUI for now. And, go shell.

Installation

On CentOS, we can install via the yum.

sudo yum install git-core

Yum install is easy as it takes care of installing all the dependant files.

Customize

Set User name

git config --global user.name "Daniel Adeniji"

Set email address

git config --global user.email "Daniel_Adeniji@nobody.com"

Create a repository

Connect to your github online account, and create a new repository

Identify local folder on host

On your Linux\Cent OS host, identify or create local folder that will serve as your working folder.

In our case, we will use /home/dadeniji/development/apache.org/tomcat/MSAdventureWorksDWDB.Public

Change Working Directory

Make identified folder your working directory

Launch Unix terminal and change working folder to identified folder.

Syntax:

cd [working-folder]

Sample

cd /home/dadeniji/development/apache.org/tomcat/MSAdventureWorksDWDB.Public

Clone Git Repository

Syntax:

git clone git@github.com:[username]/[repository].git

Sample:

git clone git@github.com:DanielAdeniji/JavaJSPJSTLMSSQL.git

Output:

Here is the output we got back…



[dadeniji@adelia MSAdventureWorksDWDB.Public]$ ssh -vT git@github.com

[dadeniji@adelia MSAdventureWorksDWDB.Public]$

Set up SSH Keys

We know that we have yet to set up SSH keys on this box. And, unfortunately I do not recollect where I placed previously used ones.

So let us go re-create SSH (Private & Public) keys.

Thankfully, GitHub has very good documentation on doing so:
https://help.github.com/articles/generating-ssh-keys

SSH Key Folder Location

SSH Keys are kept in /home/<username>/.ssh and in our case it is /home/dadeniji/.ssh.

In Linux by convention folders whose name starts with . are hidden files. And, so the folder might not show up.

Here is a default listing Folder Listing:

Enhanced Folder Listing:

On CentOS, to view hidden files, please click on the menu items “View”/ “Show Hidden Views” or use the keystrokes (CTRL-H).

Here is the “Show Hidden Views” picture:

Git Repository – Create ignore file (.gitignore)

Add Files

Syntax:

touch .gitignore

Sample:

touch .gitignore

If there are files that we do not want shipped-off, we will list them in the .gitignore file.

Mask Private Data

We will like to share source code, but keep certain private data hidden. We will use sed for that.

Sample:

 sed --expression='s/HRPROD/dbHost/' --expression='s/username="hrdb"/username="dbUser"/' --expression='s/mygoodpwd/dbUserPassword/' META-INF/context.xml > META-INF/context.xml.tmp && mv META-INF/context.xml.tmp META-INF/context.xml sed --expression='s/HRPROD/dbHost/' --expression='s/hrdb;/dbUser;/' --expression='s/mygoodpwd/dbUserPassword/' jspSimple.jsp > jspSimple.jsp.tmp && mv jspSimple.jsp.tmp jspSimple.jsp

GitHub – Command Line – Processing

April 27, 2013May 30, 2016 Daniel Adeniji GitHub

GitHub – Command Line – Processing

Once again returning to Mr. Hunt’s home work “Ghost Who Codes: How Anonymity is Killing Your Programming Career”.

I wanted to share a SQL Lab Experiment with others that can help me. Currently, I have the Transact SQL code sprinkled in WordPress postings. To consolidate those SQL bits in a few easy to access files, I have posted those files in a free, publicly available GitHub repository.

My current desktop is a Mac Laptop. And, thankfully there’s a Git Command Line toolset for the Mac OS X.

In an earlier posting, I documented the steps to install the Command Line Toolset on a Mac OSX (https://danieladeniji.wordpress.com/2013/04/26/technical-github-installation-on-mac-osx/).

So needed to share these files and post it to GitHub.

The Git Hub repository is https://github.com/DanielAdeniji/MSSQLTableSpoolPartitionIndexUnaligned

Here are the steps (to post files from my local desktop to the GitHub repository):

Start a Terminal Mode Session
Change Folder to Source code Folder (cd <source-code-folder>)
Create Git Repository (git init)
Add files to Git (git add)
Commit Changes locally (git commit)
Add Remote Repository (git remote add origin)
Replicate local changes to remote repository (git push origin master)

Processing

Start Terminal Mode

Change Folder

Syntax:

cd <folder>

Sample:

    cd /Users/dadeniji/Documents/TableSpool/PartitionIndexUnAligned

Create Git Repository

To prepare a folder for Git, issue the “git init” command
Syntax:

git init

Output:

Initialized empty Git repository in /Users/dadeniji/Documents/TableSpool/PartitionIndexUnAligned

Add Files

Add specific files (*.sql)
Syntax:

git add <file-name>

Output:


git add *.sql

Add specific files (*.png)
Syntax:

    git add <file-name>

Output:

    git add *.png

Commit

Commit changes

To commit the changes locally issue the “git commit” command.

Syntax:

    git commit

Output:
— commit changes (editor opened prompting for a comment)

    git commit

Output:

    -- commit changes and attach a comment
    git commit -m "commit changes"

Git – Remote Add origin

To bind our local folder to its corresponding GIT Folder, we need to get the URL to the specific repository.

Steps:

Launch Browser
Connect to your repository Tab
https://github.com/<Username>?tab=repositories (Syntax)
https://github.com/DanielAdeniji?tab=repositories (Ours)
Select the corresponding repository
Click the repository link
The repository window appears
Access the “Code” Tab
Select the protocol you want; in our case SSH
Copy the URL; in our case for the MSSQLTableSpoolPartitionIndexUnaligned repository the URL will be git@github.com:DanielAdeniji/MSSQLTableSpoolPartitionIndexUnaligned.git

Git Hub – Repository

URL – HTTP/SSH

Syntax:

   git remote add origin

Sample

   git remote add origin git@github.com:DanielAdeniji/MSSQLTableSpoolPartitionIndexUnaligned.git

Git – Review Remote repositories

Syntax:

  git remote -v show

Command:

   git remote -v show

Output:

git remote -v show
origin	git@github.com:DanielAdeniji/HadoopHBaseDemoMedia (fetch)
origin	git@github.com:DanielAdeniji/HadoopHBaseDemoMedia (push)

Git – Post changes from machine to Remote repository (1st Attempt)

The “git push origin master” replicates the local repository to a remote repository.
Syntax:

  git push origin master

Command:

   git push origin master

Output:


To git@github.com:DanielAdeniji/MSSQLTableSpoolPartitionIndexUnaligned.git
 ! [rejected]

Git – Pull latest code from Remote repository to local directory

The error message above:
Updates were rejected because the tip of your current branch is behind its remote counterpart. Merge the remote changes (e.g. ‘git pull’) before pushing again.
suggests that we need to pull the latest version from github’s repository.

To do so, we will issue a “git pull” command.

Syntax:

   git pull <specific-repository-url>;

Example:

  git pull git@github.com:DanielAdeniji/MSSQLTableSpoolPartitionIndexUnaligned.git

Here is the output:

Command:

GitHub Client Installation on Mac OSX

April 26, 2013May 27, 2016 Daniel Adeniji GitHub

Introduction

Two months ago, to be exact on Feb 13th, 2013, I read Troy Hunt’s posting titled “The Ghost Who Codes: How Anonymity is Killing Your Programming Career” (http://java.dzone.com/articles/ghost-who-codes-how-anonymity).

Ever since I have being meaning to get a GitHub Account. Today I finally did.

As I am cheap and I am mostly doing so as part of Mr. Hunt’s assigned home work, I went the path of a free, publicly available repository. No Credit Cards, Nothing!

Here is a quick primer on how to install a GitHub Client on a Mac OS.

Tools – Command Line

The official tools are available @ http://git-scm.com/downloads.

The URL for the Mac OSX version is available @ http://git-scm.com/download/mac

Tools – GUI

A very good brochure of GitHub clients is available via http://git-scm.com/downloads/guis

Tools	URL	Price
GitHub for MAC	http://mac.github.com/	Free for personal Usage
Gitbox	http://gitboxapp.com/	Free for personal Usage
GitX	http://gitx.laullon.com/	Free for personal Usage
Atlassian – SourceTree	http://www.sourcetreeapp.com/	Free for personal Usage
Collab.Net – GitEye	http://www.collab.net/giteyeapp	Free for personal Usage
Syntevo – SmartGit/Hg	http://www.syntevo.com/smartgithg/index.html	Free for personal Usage

Tools – Command Line – Install

Download the installer for your OS
In our case, our installer is http://git-scm.com/download/mac
Once the installer is downloaded, launch it
The first screen that will appear is the screen pasted below and labelled “Git 1.8.2.1 Snow Leopard Universal”
On the screen labelled “Git 1.8.2.1 Snow Leopard Universal”, double-click on the “Git-1.8.2.1-Intel-universal-snow-leopard.pkg” icon
The first screen displayed is the Git Welcome Screen
The next screen is the “Standard Install on …”
The next screen is the “Install Confimation” Screen

Git – Installer – Extracted (1.8.2) – Installer

Git Welcome Screen

Confirm Install

Installation was successful

Tools – Command Line – Uninstall

The script for the Un-installer is pasted below. The name of the file is uninstall.sh.

Here is what the uninstaller does:

Checks the default install folder (/usr/local/git)
If that folder is not present, the script terminates and returns 1
The user is prompted as to whether he/she wants to continue
Upon pressing yes, the following folders are removed /usr/local/git/, /etc/paths.d/git, and /etc/manpaths.d/git
The pkgutil utility is invoked


if [ ! -r "/usr/local/git" ]; then
  echo "Git doesn't appear to be installed via this installer.  Aborting"
  exit 1
fi
echo "This will uninstall git by removing /usr/local/git/**/*, /etc/paths.d/git, /etc/manpaths.d/git"
printf "Type 'yes' if you sure you wish to continue: "
read response
if [ "$response" == "yes" ]; then
  sudo rm -rf /usr/local/git/
  sudo rm /etc/paths.d/git
  sudo rm /etc/manpaths.d/git
  sudo pkgutil --forget --pkgs=GitOSX\.Installer\.git[A-Za-z0-9]*\.[a-z]*.pkg
  echo "Uninstalled"
else
  echo "Aborted"
  exit 1
fi

exit 0

Uninstaller steps are:

Right click on the downloaded file (git-xxx-intel-universal-snow-leopard.dmg)
From the drop-down menu, select DiskImageMounter
The screen shot below is shown
You want the uninstall.sh file; place that file somewhere you can get to it (/tmp folder)
Launch Terminal
Issue “cd /tmp”

Git – Installer – Extracted (1.8.2) – Uninstaller

Review Install

Post install, review install

Once the installation has complete, please take the following steps to review:

Launch a new terminal window (this ensures that your environment variable such as path have been updated)
Issue “git -version”


git --version
