Translated from 日本語 • View original Good morning. This is the Miyashita of infrastructure.
There is gitlab running in the company, but I am having trouble with fewer people using git than I thought, probably because there are few people who can use CLI. Recently, it seems that you can fully experience Git with Windows tools, so this time I would like to introduce "SourceTree". If you are an anti-CLI, you can use "SourceTree" to operate git sufficiently, so why not use it as a start?
Sorry if you don't understand the meaning of Git in the first place. I think someone will write the construction of git eventually, so I will omit it this time. Please see the following site, which is very easy to understand as a git knowledge.
Introduction to Git that even monkeys can understand Introduction to version control systems
Since it is a distributed version control system, I think it is better to use it together and have a bitter experience such as degreting once in a while. I think that if you have a good backup, the wound will be shallow... I think it can be used for chef, managing config to manage versions and diffs, or simply managing readme procedures.
1) Install SourceTree
Download the Windows 7 version of the file from the official Source tree website.
Double-click the downloaded executable file "SourceTreeSetup_1.6.13.exe" to start the installation.
It's almost all you have to do with the flow and install it.
You will be asked to create a "global ignore configuration file", but "Yes" and "No" are fine for now. This time, I will proceed with "Yes".
You can connect it by setting the public repository. If you have an account, enter your account, username, and password. This time it is a connection to our own gitlab, so we will "skip" it.
Finally, you will be asked if you want to load the SSH key. If you already have it, you can register it, but you can do it later, so leave it as "No".
2) Create and register an SSH key
Register the key of your working PC to connect to gitlab.
Start SourceTree and first create and register an SSH key. If you have already created a key, you don't have to bother to create one.
Launch PuttyKeyGenerator in "Tools" → "Create/Import SSH Key".
Click "Generate" and move your mouse a lot to complete the key creation.
Click "Save public key" and save the public key as gitlab-test.pub. Click "Save private key" to save the private key as gitlab-test.ppk. *For security reasons, it is better to include a key passphrase.
Finally, register your private key. Specify the private key you saved earlier from "Tools" → "Options" in "General" to the SSH client settings.
It has become longer than expected, so I will connect to gitlab next time.
