For bachelor/master/PhD students:
- Ask for an administrator (Marc van Wanrooij, Günter Windau) to create a new user account.
- Login to Gitlab
- Ask for a Git Master (Marc van Wanrooij, Günter Windau) to give you access to the Git repository to add you as a Developer (this will allow you to change things without affecting the main repository).
- install Atlassian SourceTree by going to Windows/ProgramFiles/Atlassian and double clicking on sourcetree.exe (this will be your interface with the repository instead of the default terminal/command prompt).
- Clone the experiment-repository by clicking on Clone in SourceTree to MATLAB/experiment in your User account Documents folder (all required m-files will now be copied to your folder, i.e. you will own your own local repository)
- Create a new branch of this repository by clicking on Branch in SourceTree, and give it a meaningful name, such as your own first name (this will enable you to edit the m-files and upload/push it to the remote repository, without affecting the main repository).
- Add the local repository to Matlab's path (via ...)
- Start an experiment
At the end of a student's internship (or when relevant), request for a merge (to incorporate all the useful changes you made into the main repository)
