Experimenter Account Setup

To run experiments in the Sphere Lab, you will need particular Matlab files that are stored in a Git repository

For bachelor/master/PhD students:

• Ask for an administrator (Marc van Wanrooij, Günter Windau) to create a new User Account without administrator rights
• 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).
• in Matlab

At the end of a student's internship (or when relevant), request for a merge.
