WEBVTT 00:00.580 --> 00:05.500 Welcome to setting up our repo and committing in this video. 00:05.560 --> 00:09.890 We will set up our repository will register source tree. 00:09.910 --> 00:17.830 Make sure that we come commit later on learn how to glued data from our repository stage our files and 00:17.970 --> 00:21.100 finally make our first commit. 00:21.100 --> 00:27.790 So one of the questions is how many repositories now on a complex projects you could use a repo perm 00:27.790 --> 00:29.310 model that you create. 00:29.320 --> 00:31.930 This would give you the best level of control. 00:32.050 --> 00:37.960 But in this case it's going to be to develop our model simply aren't that detailed to warrant a repository 00:37.960 --> 00:38.850 just with the model. 00:38.860 --> 00:44.600 So you could track your whole project in a repo and that is what we're going to do. 00:44.610 --> 00:49.550 Of course it will depend on the complexity of your project and how much control you need in that scene 00:49.620 --> 00:49.880 in. 00:49.890 --> 00:51.820 Very important. 00:51.820 --> 00:57.730 Now talking about our repository which is going to store and track for changes in our prob project for 00:57.730 --> 01:05.020 us we can exclude data from it and we do that to allow faster commits at a smaller size and that keeps 01:05.020 --> 01:08.940 the database the repository simple and manageable. 01:08.980 --> 01:15.450 We want to avoid storing derived or generated data in the repository wherever necessary. 01:15.460 --> 01:20.410 An example here for instance will be our reference material they might be photos you gathered off the 01:20.410 --> 01:22.750 Internet or even gone and taken yourself. 01:22.960 --> 01:26.480 Those are going to be static not changing there's no point in storing them. 01:26.500 --> 01:32.800 And they're very large files in comparison to everything else so we will want to exclude them. 01:33.130 --> 01:38.740 There we'll go on to committing and it is important that you'll need to save all the documents that 01:38.740 --> 01:43.200 constitute that commit first before staging them and then finally committing them. 01:43.200 --> 01:49.360 Now this is going to be like saving our working folder and zipping it up at that moment in time. 01:49.450 --> 01:54.180 But it's going to give us far more control over where we can go back to. 01:54.190 --> 02:01.300 We can even pull out files from way in the past and bring them back to the present with a new direction 02:01.300 --> 02:02.080 to them. 02:02.470 --> 02:08.910 So let's go on over and first set up our repository and then go through and manage these other things. 02:11.290 --> 02:16.600 So here we are in my file system I'm using a Mac here you'll be using Windows Explorer if you're on 02:16.690 --> 02:19.420 that or wherever the limits equivalent is. 02:19.450 --> 02:26.170 So we've got my home directory here I've created repo's and I've got two here that are called Game asset 02:26.170 --> 02:26.770 PAC. 02:26.770 --> 02:31.250 One is for tracking my videos that I'm creating for you guys right here. 02:31.330 --> 02:36.220 And one of them is going to be an example sarm in a very similar position as you are and I want to show 02:36.220 --> 02:40.850 you what mine's looking at so you're familiar with it when I use it from now onwards. 02:40.900 --> 02:45.670 So I've got an example here that I'm going to make into my repository. 02:45.680 --> 02:51.640 So first of all an if you've not already done this please pause the video now and go register source 02:51.640 --> 02:52.780 tree. 02:52.810 --> 02:55.800 If you've already done that then let's carry on. 02:55.960 --> 03:01.630 Now I've already got some repositories here you can see I've got seven representing the seven sections 03:01.630 --> 03:03.610 of the course so far. 03:03.610 --> 03:06.610 Now you are not going to see anything here whatsoever. 03:06.760 --> 03:13.960 But now we can go ahead and create a new repo so we can click on new repository and we go and create 03:14.020 --> 03:16.000 a local repositories. 03:16.000 --> 03:17.530 The third option down. 03:19.300 --> 03:22.810 Once we've done that we've got this destination park here now. 03:22.810 --> 03:23.770 Be careful. 03:23.770 --> 03:28.010 It's very easy to think that this name underneath is going to create a folder. 03:28.120 --> 03:33.220 If I just click create Now I would end up with a repo called my blender project which is great but it's 03:33.220 --> 03:38.740 going to contain everything in my user section and I don't want that so I'm going to click these three 03:38.740 --> 03:45.340 dots to the right hand side and simply go and select the one I've created which is this game pack example 03:45.640 --> 03:46.800 and a click on Open. 03:46.810 --> 03:52.600 Now this is the name of the project here and I'm going to name it my blender project that's absolutely 03:52.600 --> 03:53.080 fine. 03:53.140 --> 03:54.430 Type gitte. 03:54.430 --> 03:55.810 That's what we want. 03:55.810 --> 03:59.150 And here also create local remote repository. 03:59.200 --> 04:03.410 Leave that one unchecked and go ahead and click create. 04:05.150 --> 04:08.840 And there we go we've got a blender project that's appeared. 04:08.930 --> 04:14.480 And if we go ahead and double click on that we can open it up and you should have something that looks 04:14.510 --> 04:20.360 pretty similar to this so I'm just going to rearrange these windows a little because it's been opened 04:20.390 --> 04:22.140 on a larger screen. 04:22.250 --> 04:29.600 So we have a series of well this area at the top here is staged files and there's nothing at state it. 04:29.600 --> 04:32.040 There's nothing ready for committing. 04:32.060 --> 04:37.310 So one of the first things we need to do is make sure that everything we've been working with has been 04:37.310 --> 04:38.570 saved and shut down. 04:38.570 --> 04:42.380 So if you still got a blender file open that hasn't been saved. 04:42.380 --> 04:47.390 As soon as we stage it I say this is ready for commit in its current state. 04:47.480 --> 04:52.040 If you then go ahead and click save even though it's been staged before. 04:52.070 --> 04:53.410 It won't be right. 04:53.420 --> 04:54.860 So what do we need to do. 04:54.860 --> 04:56.720 Well we do want to keep our message. 04:56.720 --> 05:02.990 We can see meshes we can see here that the assets this is our directory that we've got so we've got 05:02.990 --> 05:07.160 meshes under here which is going to collapse that with that little arrow we have got textures and my 05:07.160 --> 05:10.460 details about how to nail textures I want to keep that. 05:10.730 --> 05:16.610 And here is our reference material and as you can see I've just got a load of images from the Internet 05:16.610 --> 05:24.230 so I've put a warning there do not use in the course directly which is why I've pulled a load of images 05:24.230 --> 05:24.410 there. 05:24.410 --> 05:32.300 Now I can select that and when I select that I can go up to actions and select ignore and it gives us 05:32.360 --> 05:34.610 a series of options. 05:34.610 --> 05:40.610 So here we've got to ignore exact file names if you got a specific file that you want to add to the 05:40.610 --> 05:41.140 gate. 05:41.230 --> 05:45.670 Ignore that we can have ignore all files with this extension. 05:45.750 --> 05:51.710 And I don't want to do that because some of these pian Geez we're going to be producing pages later 05:51.710 --> 05:53.570 on when we produce our own texture. 05:53.570 --> 05:54.850 So we certainly don't want that. 05:55.010 --> 05:57.920 I want to just ignore everything beneath. 05:58.040 --> 06:02.390 And in this case anything that goes in that reference folder will not be added to our repository. 06:02.390 --> 06:04.210 And I'm very happy to that. 06:04.220 --> 06:09.860 The other thing to consider is where it says add this ignore entry to the global ignore list. 06:09.860 --> 06:13.990 Now my folder name reference material do not use in this course. 06:14.000 --> 06:15.480 No copyright for it. 06:15.530 --> 06:21.710 We've got to bear in mind that the global ignored list will place anything with that particular folder 06:21.710 --> 06:29.050 name onto it and that means every repo we then make going forward it will be included in the ignore 06:29.060 --> 06:35.840 So if you have a name something like texture's or meshes that can be very dangerous because that will 06:35.840 --> 06:42.890 mean that every other one but you ever use will be added unless you remove it from that global ignore 06:42.890 --> 06:43.460 list. 06:43.460 --> 06:49.910 So in general I wouldn't use global ignore list I do in this case but I would make sure it only applies 06:49.910 --> 06:56.750 to this repository only so I'm going to go ahead now and click okay and that will ignore that. 06:56.840 --> 07:01.100 I've then got a read me file which is what I have build up as I go. 07:01.110 --> 07:05.060 Of course you may want to add notes as you go into a text file. 07:05.060 --> 07:11.060 Perhaps that says at what stage you are thinking etc. alas a good log and of course you can update that 07:11.150 --> 07:12.630 as you go. 07:12.740 --> 07:18.860 So now that I've got my assets my meshes and textures I can just click up the top here and select everything 07:18.860 --> 07:22.080 and we can see it moves from the bottom here to that SOP. 07:22.100 --> 07:27.030 Now that we've done that it's red it's staged and it's ready for committing. 07:27.100 --> 07:33.200 Now I like to keep my commit messages nice and short and put the detail about what's going on in my 07:33.200 --> 07:34.640 read me file. 07:34.640 --> 07:41.570 And here for instance I can say first commits because that is what it is we've now got stuff that we 07:41.570 --> 07:49.110 can commit and I'm going to hit commit and there we go ah everything's disappear from the screen. 07:49.130 --> 07:50.460 What's gone on here. 07:50.570 --> 07:56.020 Well we're no longer looking at our what's called Master branch. 07:56.030 --> 07:59.310 So on the left hand side you can see it says Master. 07:59.420 --> 08:03.060 If we go ahead and click on that then we can see what's going on. 08:03.080 --> 08:05.660 And that is the first kimmett. 08:05.660 --> 08:10.350 Now we go ahead and change anything we'll have changes up on top. 08:10.940 --> 08:16.220 So I am now going to show you my particular repository so you can see how it looks after you've done 08:16.220 --> 08:17.620 a few commits. 08:18.640 --> 08:23.950 Okay so we are both back over on my repository here and you can see I've got my initial commits down 08:23.950 --> 08:27.360 here then I fleshed out my read me with what I want to do. 08:27.460 --> 08:34.300 Basic folder structure made one of the lectures is there another lecturers here and this is going to 08:34.300 --> 08:35.770 be the end of the 10th lecture. 08:35.770 --> 08:42.180 So what I would do in this particular case is I'd make sure that all of my items that are needed were 08:42.190 --> 08:43.760 state which is fine. 08:44.020 --> 08:46.180 I'm going to go ahead and hit commits. 08:46.270 --> 08:51.850 And these are the trials that I've been working on and I'm going to put in here the name of the lecture 08:51.880 --> 08:54.590 that I am working on which is very powerful. 08:54.880 --> 09:01.150 And I've got that in my paste buffer so I can just place that in now ordinarily Ah you're not going 09:01.150 --> 09:02.800 to be using this push changes. 09:02.800 --> 09:07.950 I am because I've got an online repo as well and we might cover that later on. 09:07.960 --> 09:11.600 But don't worry about pushing changes here that's something I need to do. 09:11.620 --> 09:12.470 You won't. 09:12.640 --> 09:15.900 And once I've done that we can see that there are no more changes. 09:15.910 --> 09:19.330 And I've now got that all set up and ready to go. 09:20.500 --> 09:22.840 Okay guys so it's Challenge time. 09:22.840 --> 09:30.160 I'd like you to make your commit so an optional task here is to create a text file explaining what you 09:30.160 --> 09:33.640 have done that helps you keep track of your changes. 09:33.710 --> 09:38.830 We can't really see what's going on in individual blender files and we want to keep those committee 09:38.830 --> 09:41.730 names a short and succinct as possible. 09:42.480 --> 09:50.700 Make sure you save all your open documents ignore your reference material stage your files and then 09:50.700 --> 09:55.860 finally commit with the short and precise name as told what it is. 09:55.860 --> 09:57.890 It's a title for that comment. 09:57.990 --> 10:04.540 I've already done mine so ngoni to balls the video and I will see you guys in the next lecture.
