October 13, 2019. Version Control Systems Let's get the textbook! • Online textbook: Victor Eijkhout, \Introduction to High- Performance Scientific Computing". http://pages.tacc.utexas.edu/~eijkhout/istc/ istc.html • Get both the pdf version and source files. https://bitbucket.org/VictorEijkhout/ hpc-book-and-course • Fetch all the resources! hg clone ssh://[email protected]/Victor Eijkhout/hpc-book-and-course mycopy Version Control Systems Source control at a glance • The preceding command to get a repository. hg clone source target VCS tool. Action. Repository. Local copy. • Some common VCS tools: cvs: Concurrent version system. svn: Subversion. git:\The stupid content tracker". hg: Mercurial. • What do they do? Keep track the development history of a project. Maintain different versions of the project. Facilitate collaborations on the same project. Is NOT worry free! Mostly reliable on tracking text files. Version Control Systems Source control at a glance • The preceding command to get a repository. hg clone source target VCS tool. Action. Repository. Local copy. • Some common VCS actions: clone: Get the source from a repository. add/rm/mv/cp: File management of the source under control. checkout: Switch to a certain revision of a certain branch. commit: Save the changes and create a check point (reversion). diff: Compare different reversions. merge: Combine different branches. Examples are for hg; other VCS tools have similar actions. A Simple Git Project Get started: Record keeping Let's start a project on fluid-solid interaction. • What do we do? Create a directory fsi.git and cd it. mkdir fsi.git && cd fsi.git Initiate a git repository git init This will create .git/ Create and add some files to the repository using: git add. Commit all the changes git commit -m "Some development message" This will create the first check point (revision) of the project. Continue to do so and create several revisions when appropriate. A Simple Git Project Get started: Record keeping Let's start a project on fluid-solid interaction. • What can we do? Make a copy of the project: git clone fsi.git loc.copy && cd loc.copy Check the configuration file loc.copy/.git/config. Look at the development history: git log Switch back to a previous revision: git checkout <rev.no> Discussion: How about git reset or git revert? Compare two different revisions: git diff <rev.1> <rev.2> [something] A Simple Git Project Create a new branch Two people join and work on the fluid and solid, respectively. • Create a new branch called “fluid”. Make a clone of the repository. git clone fsi.git fluid.git && cd fluid.git Create the new branch. git branch fluid && git checkout fluid A Simple Git Project Create a new branch Two people join and work on the fluid and solid, respectively. • Keep both the origin and current repositories updated. Push the new branch/any changes to the origin. git push origin fluid:fluid Gather the new information from the origin. git fetch origin Pull the updates from the origin. git pull origin fluid:fluid A Simple Git Project Merge branches and resolve conflicts Let's say we make some progress on master, and want to get anything new from fluid. When we are on the branch master: • Attempt to merge the branch fluid. git merge fluid • An automatic algorithm is called to merge the two branches. • Upon success, both the sources and the logs are merged. • Upon success, a new commit is created. A Simple Git Project Merge branches and resolve conflicts Let's say we make some progress on master, and want to get anything new from fluid. When automatic merge fails, we need to resolve the conflicts: • Option 1: choose which version to keep. • Option 2: manually modify the conflicted files. • Once finished, mark the conflict as resolved and commit. • Won't be able to commit if there are unresolved conflicts. Other VCS Systems and Resources Repository models and concurrency models Repository model. • Client-server model: Developers access a master repository via a client (local working copy). Any changes must be committed to the master repository. The server maintains a full development history. Examples: cvs, svn. • Distributed model: Repositories act as peers. Any peer can talk to any other peer/peers. Each repository maintain its version history. Examples: git, hg. Other VCS Systems and Resources Repository models and concurrency models Concurrency model. • \Lock" model: Only allow one user to modify one file at the a time. A user must \lock" a file before making changes to it. Usually only possible in a client-server model. Example: svn. • \Merge" model: Many developers are allowed to edit the same file simutaneously. Users are informed of possible conflicts upon merging. Distributed system almost always implies a \merge" model. Examples: cvs, svn, git, hg. • Do not bet everything on the lock-unlock model, or the au- tomatic merge. Developers should talk to each other whenever necessary!

  • Pragmatic Version Control Using Subversion
    What readers are saying about Pragmatic Version Control using Subversion I expected a lot, but you surprised me with even more. Hav- ing used CVS for years I hesitated to try Subversion until now, although I knew it would solve many of the shortcom- ings of CVS. After reading your book, my excuses to stay with CVS disappeared. Oh, and coming from the Pragmatic Bookshelf this book is fun to read too. Thanks Mike. Steffen Gemkow Managing Director, ObjectFab GmbH I’m a long-time user of CVS and I’ve been skeptical of Sub- version, wondering if it would ever be “ready for prime time.” Until now. Thanks to Mike Mason for writing a clear, con- cise, gentle introduction to this new tool. After reading this book, I’m actually excited about the possibilities for version control that Subversion brings to the table. David Rupp Senior Software Engineer, Great-West Life & Annuity This was exactly the Subversion book I was waiting for. As a long-time Perforce and CVS user and administrator, and in my role as an agile tools coach, I wanted a compact book that told me just what I needed to know. This is it. Within a couple of hours I was up and running against remote Subversion servers, and setting up my own local servers too. Mike uses a lot of command-line examples to guide the reader, and as a Windows user I was worried at first. My fears were unfounded though—Mike’s examples were so clear that I think I’ll stick to using the command line from now on! I thoroughly recommend this book to anyone getting started using or administering Subversion.

    Version Control 101 Exported from http://cepsltb4.curent.utk.edu/wiki/efficiency/vcs, please visit the link for the latest version and the best typesetting. Version Control 101 is created in the hope to minimize the regret from lost files or untracked changes. There are two things I regret. I should have learned Python instead of MATLAB, and I should have learned version control earlier. Version control is like a time machine. It allows you to go back in time and find out history files. You might have heard of GitHub and Git and probably how steep the learning curve is. Version control is not just Git. Dropbox can do version control as well, for a limited time. This tutorial will get you started with some version control concepts from Dropbox to Git for your needs. More importantly, some general rules are suggested to minimize the chance of file losses.

  • Distributed Configuration Management: Mercurial CSCI 5828 Spring 2012 Mark Grebe Configuration Management
    Distributed Configuration Management: Mercurial CSCI 5828 Spring 2012 Mark Grebe Configuration Management Configuration Management (CM) systems are used to store code and other artifacts in Software Engineering projects. Since the early 70’s, there has been a progression of CM systems used for Software CM, starting with SCCS, and continuing through RCS, CVS, and Subversion. All of these systems used a single, centralized repository structure. Distributed Configuration Management As opposed to traditional CM systems, Distributed Configuration Management Systems are ones where there does not have to be a central repository. Each developer has a copy of the entire repository and history. A central repository may be optionally used, but it is equal to all of the other developer repositories. Advantages of Distributed Configuration Management Distributed tools are faster than centralized ones since metadata is stored locally. Can use tool to manage changes locally while not connected to the network where server resides. Scales more easily, since all of the load is not on a central server. Allows private work that is controlled, but not released to the larger community. Distributed systems are normally designed to make merges easy, since they are done more often. Mercurial Introduction Mercurial is a cross-platform, distributed configuration management application. In runs on most modern OS platforms, including Windows, Linux, Solaris, FreeBSD, and Mac OSX. Mercurial is written 95% in Python, with the remainder written in C for speed. Mercurial is available as a command line tool on all of the platforms, and with GUI support programs on many of the platforms. Mercurial is customizable with extensions, hooks, and output templates.
