==Introduction==
 
To run experiments in a lab, you will need particular Matlab files that are stored in a [https://gitlab.science.ru.nl/marcw/experiment.git Git repository]
 
For bachelor/master/PhD students:
* Ask for an administrator (Marc van Wanrooij, [[Technical Support Group|Günter Windau]]) to create a new user account.
* Login to [https://gitlab.science.ru.nl Gitlab]
* Ask for a Git Master (Marc van Wanrooij, Günter Windau) to give you access to the [https://gitlab.science.ru.nl/marcw/experiment.git 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 [https://gitlab.science.ru.nl/marcw/experiment.git 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)
 
== How can I access Gitlab?==
Login to [//gitlab.science.ru.nl gitlab] with your Science Faculty account. Then ask Marc to gain access to biophysics and biophysics_labs
 
== How can I get (clone) the code from the repository? ==
 
You can get the code from the repository in several ways, all with their own advantages.
 
=== Download zip-file ===
 
 
=== Click ===
* Instal the GitHUB client [https://windows.github.com/ for Windows] or [https://mac.github.com/ for Mac], and add the repository via Command line instructions:
** '''Git global setup'''
*** git config --global user.name "Your Name"
*** git config --global user.email "your.e@mail.adress"
** '''Create a new repository'''
*** git clone https://gitlab.science.ru.nl/username/projectname.git
*** cd test
*** touch README.md
*** git add README.md
*** git commit -m "add README"
*** git push -u origin master
** '''Existing folder or Git repository'''
*** cd existing_folder
*** git init
*** git remote add origin https://gitlab.science.ru.nl/username/projectname.git
*** git push -u origin master
 
 
* Install the Git client [https://www.atlassian.com/software/sourcetree/overview Atlassian Sourcetree], and ''Clone'' the repository via a button press
 
== How can I get the changes others have made (fetch/pull)? ==
* In Github for Windows: the Sync button
* In Atlassian Sourcetree: the Pull button
 
== How can I put my changes of the code in the repository  (commit/push)?==
You should have Master rights to be able to upload your changes to the remote repository.
If you do not have own, you should work in a branch.
* In Github for Windows and in Atlassian Source Tree: push the Branch button, and give it a meaningful name (i.e. your first name)
Then you can upload
* In Github for Windows: Sync
* In Atlassian SourceTree: stage files - commit - push when commit
 
== Which repositories exist, and what are they for? ==
 
=== Biophysics ===
For running experiments in the [[Sphere_lab]], to analyse fast eye and head movements, to do bayesian data anaysis, and some other utilities
