Version control with GitLab and Git in the "Reproducible research" MOOC

We have created a GitLab server especially for this MOOC so that you can smoothly learn how to implement version control. This section describes the successive steps involved. The following video shows how to use GitLab. We strongly recommend that you watch it if you've never used GitLab before.

• Go to GitLab from the FUN platform (click on Accédez à Gitlab / Access to Gitlab)

• You reach the following form :

  

  • NB : You must reach GitLab from the FUN platform. You are likely to get a "405 error" if you are using the following address: https://app-learninglab.inria.fr/gitlab/users/sign_in.

    

• Click on Sign in. Authentication is automatic at that stage.

  

  The long string replaced here by xxx is the login you will have to use in Git to synchronize with GitLab.

• To recover a predefined password you must use Gitlab credentials retrieval tool. One gets then the login and password.

  

• You can change this password in "Account / Paramètres / Mot de passe". We do not recommend doing it since that will block you from using the Jupyter notebooks of this MOOC.

  

If you want to go further, few tutorial videos are gathered in sequence "7. Installations, configurations, references" of module 2 of this MOOC.

Version control with LibreOffice or DokuWiki

Modification tracking in files generated and managed by LibreOffice is briefly described on the wiki page of this software. A table of contents of the pages dedicated to this subject is available.

For DoKuWiki, the best is to check the wiki.
