Once you have a GitLab server up and running, you will need to be able to load and save your repositories to it.\u00a0 Since I have a repository already locally, the first step is to suncrozie my GitLab server with a local copy of my code.\u00a0 Once completed, I then want to have Android Studio point to it.<\/span><\/p>\n This is done by first creating a repository on the GitLab server with the same name\u00a0 as it was locally.\u00a0 I used “Bubbles” as it was the same name as before.\u00a0 Once that is complete, the GitLab server will generate useful comments 1) how to create a ssh key and 2) how to Import an existing project.<\/p>\n Well, remember I generated my SSH key by using the puttyGen on one of the first posts.\u00a0 I was able to go to ~\/.ssh\/authorized_keys and see it.\u00a0 Using putty, on my AWS server I typed<\/p>\n It started with “ssh-rsa” and ended with the “StoneMillEluav”\u00a0–\u00a0I was able to simply copy the\u00a0text into the ssh keys setting in GitLab.\u00a0 This setting can be found by going to “Profile Settings” and choosing “SSH Keys.”<\/p>\n –<\/p>\n My local .git\/config looked like this (I edited my files to not have all my personal info between the {}):<\/p>\n My global .gitconfig looked like this(I edited my files to not have all my personal info between the {}):<\/p>\n Tortus git was still pointed to the server with the same name as “Bubbles.”\u00a0 I CDed into the local “Bubbles” directory and right-clicked “TortusGit->Settings.”\u00a0 I verified the settings matched.\u00a0 I then did a git->push<\/em> to the repo.<\/p>\n All of my files were uploaded successfully, but as I expected, none of the old Issues or milestones were saved.\u00a0 The reason for that is that info is stored in the database on the AWS server (not in git).<\/p>\n After creating a default “Jack” project on GitLab, I created a README.md using the links on the webpage.<\/p>\n In GitLab, on the project homepage, there is both an http, and an ssh link.<\/p>\n TortiousGit, simply adds a context menu to the right-click menu in Explorer.\u00a0 I was simply able to select “git Clone” and point to my new URL on the GitLab server.<\/p>\n I used the ssh link and added my existing ppk. Much easier.<\/p>\n The command line version to create a new repository is as follows:<\/p>\n Android Studio does not seem to have a way to use the public\/private key (easily).\u00a0 As such, I simply went to VCS->Checkout from Version Control->Git and posted the projects URL using http.\u00a0 While it is not the safest because it uses unsecured passwords, it allows me to move forward tonight even if I am not as integrated with GitLab and Android Studio as I would have liked.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Synchronizing GitLab with a(Windows) PC Once you have a GitLab server up and running, you will need to be able to load and save your repositories to it.\u00a0 Since I have a repository already locally, the first step is to suncrozie my GitLab server with a local copy of my code.\u00a0 Once completed, I then […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":740,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[20,14],"tags":[37,52,31],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.stonemillkids.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/819"}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.stonemillkids.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.stonemillkids.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.stonemillkids.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.stonemillkids.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=819"}],"version-history":[{"count":6,"href":"http:\/\/www.stonemillkids.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/819\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":931,"href":"http:\/\/www.stonemillkids.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/819\/revisions\/931"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.stonemillkids.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/740"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.stonemillkids.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=819"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.stonemillkids.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=819"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.stonemillkids.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=819"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}Create a Project on GitLab from a local Repository using TortoiseGit<\/h2>\n
