First Time Setup

If you are setting up your gitlab for the first time, you will need to create a private “copy” of the CS 205 workbook. To do this, you will create a fork of the workbook. To do so:

1. Go to the CS 205 workbook in gitlab:
   • https://gitlab-beta.engr.illinois.edu/cs205-sp16/workbook
2. Click fork to create your own copy of the workbook.
3. Once the repository is forked:
   • Click Members on the menu on the right hand side
   • Search for waf and add Wade as a Reporter
   • Search for c-heeren and add Cinda as a Reporter
   • This allows us to have read-access to your files.

Cloning the Workbook

After you have forked your copy of the workbook, you need to download the workbook to your CS 205 directory:

1. Open up your command line interface
2. Navigate to your cs205 directory
3. Run git clone https://gitlab-beta.engr.illinois.edu/NETID/workbook.git
   • Make sure to replace NETID with your NetID
4. Run the following command to add a new remote:
   • git remote add release https://gitlab-beta.engr.illinois.edu/cs205-sp16/workbook.git
