Greetings !
Today i learnt the theoretical part of MVC ( Model-View-Controller ) architecture in depth
My teammate Ramachandran also explained the basics of Rails and MVC concepts
Then i worked on how to provide a backup environment for a local storage using git
I created a simple rails application and pushed its contents to a remote repository using Git
Installing Git on Ubuntu 10.04
sudo apt-get install git-core
Creating an Account
After installing git, go to https://github.com/ and create an account by clicking Login button
First-time system setup
Type the following commands, to introduce yourself to git
git config –global user.name “Your Name”
git config –global user.email youremail@example.com
Give your name and your public email id in the above commands
Creating a rails application
Now lets view the contents inside this empty rails application.
Our aim is push these contents into remote repository of git
Initialize a local repository
This initialization is done using git init command
Add the contents of the project using git add
Commit it using git commit
To create a new remote repository in github.com login into git account and click on “Create a Repository” as shown below
After clicking the link ( Create a Repository ) you will be asked to enter the project details as shown below
Fill the Project Name, Description and click on “Create Repository” button
An URL is generated for your repo in the name of project name
For example, here the url is https://github.com/rajee/simplerails
Now its time to pushing your local repo to remote repo
It is done using two commands
git remote add origin git@github.com:<username>/projectname.git
git push origin master
That’s all your files are transfered.
You can view it @ https://github.com/rajee/simplerails
The screenshot looks like as follows
By 4 p.m. we had a SCRUM Meet and i told like i exlpored the concepts behind MVC architecture and worked on Github
