Hi, I normally avoid chatting on Linux topic. and I hate when someone ask his/her problem on chat. I hate because It is one to one communication. I redirect such newbies to mailing list so that other can participate into it. Google index mailing list thread so that other can read such thread after google search. But I found one useful thing in one to one chat system. one of one chat system can be useful for guiding the procedure to newbies.
Today when Abhishek Indoria (A 14 year old school boy, OLPC contributor) asked me how he can put his source code to some hosting site, I immediately got idea of "Quick Start Chat". In this system I have explained him each and every steps and he followed all steps. I always wanted to make a tutorial on how to get started with google code hosting but now I have spent 2-3 hour teaching on chat to produce "quick start chat". You can also blog such "quick start chat" as tutorial.

11:22 AM Abhishek: Dude, I know you may be busy...erm..do you know about GIT? or subversion?
11:23 AM me: I have used only svn
but git is something which is better to learn
Abhishek: erm...I need to set up my whole project source code online...
how do I do that?
11:24 AM me: you can do it using sourceforge or Google code hosting
google code hosting use SVG
you can use github too
github use GIT
11:25 AM Abhishek:
Sourceforge.net seems good...But, I need to upload the Source in zip or
rar or .tar format instead of erm...open editing version like GIT or
SVN?
me: no no ,, do not upload tar or zip file
11:26 AM first create a project on these site
and then make a checkout
Abhishek: I have created the project...Checkout?
me: yes,,, checkout the empty project
Abhishek: You know, I feel like stupid as I am only 14 and have loads to learn;)
me: then put your files into it
11:27 AM seee, I learn these things at the age of 24,,,
after making a empty checkout ,, you need to paste files into it
then add files using
11:28 AM svn add filename.cpp
after that you need to comit the files
using "svn ci" command
Abhishek:
Ohh..Okay, I am logging into sourceforge...I'll see what I can do,
thanks;) Did you read The Lost Symbol by Dan Brown or Code to Zero by
Ken Follet?
11:29 AM me: I suggest to use google code hosting,,
I have used it ,, and it has cool features
Abhishek: Erm.. The thing is...
whenever I try Google Code, I can't upload a damn single file.. Dunno why:(
11:30 AM me: Let me guide you,,
Do you have svn installed ??
Abhishek: yup.
wait...
11:31 AM I reinstalled Ubuntu yesterday,,, SVN Not installed...
me: ok,, just install svn command,,
it wont take much time
11:32 AM mean while go to google code hosting
and create a new project
Abhishek: okay...
do you have google wave account ?
11:33 AM Abhishek: No..but I have already created a project..whats google wave?
11:34 AM me: leave google wave,,, Give me link to google project
your project link
Abhishek: wait please.
11:35 AM code.google.com/p/boomingbang/
me: click it,, and go to source tab
11:36 AM Abhishek: okay..
now?
me: yup
you can see checkout command
Abhishek: yes...
11:37 AM me: send me
11:38 AM Abhishek: eh.. svn checkout https://boomingbang.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/ boomingbang --username hackerboymayabhi
when I do that...it says
svn: URL 'https://boomingbang.googlecode.com/svn/trunk' doesn't exist
me: see,, you have deleted the trunk
11:39 AM When you create the new project it make 4 directory
1) trunk
2) wiki
3) branch
4) tag
Abhishek: oh..
me: you it will suggest you to make new project
11:40 AM just delete it and create new project
Abhishek: okay..
11:42 AM http://code.google.com/p/imperius/
11:43 AM me: Now go to source code and give me the checkout command
11:44 AM Abhishek: now. it says CHECKED OUT REVISION 1...wait... svn checkout https://imperius.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/ imperius --username hackerboymayabhi ...DO you need the password?
me: Nope,
never share password
Abhishek: okay.
me: now open a terminal
Abhishek: done
me: and create a directory where you want to create code
11:45 AM ex
mkdir MyProject
cd MyProject
now apply same command by remove trunk out of it
11:46 AM svn checkout https://imperius.googlecode.com/svn/ imperius --username hackerboymayabhi
11:47 AM Abhishek: kay
me: show me the output
It will ask for password, it is there at google code website
11:48 AM Abhishek: A imperius/trunk
A imperius/branches

A imperius/branches
A imperius/tags
Checked out revision 1.
me: fine
now you can see 3 directory
which you have checked out
Abhishek: okay...
11:49 AM me: see trunk will be needed for your code
so now cd trunk
Abhishek: okay.
11:50 AM me: send me output of these 3 command - pwd, ls -l. svn status
Abhishek: wait, please.
pwd -- /media/Disk 3/BoomingBang/codenamei/imperius/trunk
11:51 AM ls -l : total 0
svn status ... Nothing.
me: ok,
now create a new file
or you can directly paste your code file here
11:52 AM Abhishek: I have folders too...

you can do that later
11:53 AM just paste one file
Abhishek: okay.
done
11:54 AM me: give me "svn status"

12:52 PM me: Wow,,...
this is simply great
12:53 PM see,,, you are committing the files and folders inside trunk,,
Abhishek: hmm..got it... and, if I want to release a software, then?
me: trunk is used for development purpose,,
12:54 PM after making sufficient revision, you can branch out the code
that is why the branch folder exist
you need to make a new directory into branch folder
12:55 PM mkdir branches/v0.001
Abhishek: okay...
me: now,, let support you are at revision 567 in trunk
12:56 PM Abhishek: hmm...
me: now you can use copy command to transfer the CURRENT code from trunk code to branch folder
Abhishek: okay...
me: BUT remember you should not use copy command of linux
you need to use svn copy command
12:57 PM you can read tutorial also , how to make branch using svn
let me search
Abhishek: okay..thanks buddy;)
me: Let try out now,,
12:58 PM Hope you are now getting bore !! or late
?
Let try out now,, Hope you are now getting bore !! or late
Abhishek: nothing...We can try:)
me: so,, send me "pwd"
Abhishek: /media/Disk 3/BoomingBang/codenamei/imperius/trunk
12:59 PM me: apply cd ..
it means go back one directory uop
Abhishek: i know;) okay, what now, please?
1:00 PM me: no no ,, send me output of pwd now,,,
Abhishek: /media/Disk 3/BoomingBang/codenamei/imperius
me: ok,, great,,
now apply this command
1:01 PM svn copy trunk branches/v0.1
Abhishek: A branches/v0.1
me: apply "svn st" now,,
send me output
Abhishek: A + branches/v0.1
1:02 PM me: wow,,, it means you have added a new branch,,,
now comit it
you know how to comit
1:03 PM and send me the output
Abhishek: yes..done...Adding branches/v0.1

me: just check the url
now,, it is showing your branch
1:04 PM Abhishek: yes
me: Ok,,
1:05 PM now suppose your friend want v0.1 version
how you will send him??
1:06 PM Abhishek: erm...update it?
me: Nope ..... In such case you need to send him the readonly mode source checkout url
open a new terminal
with another location
fresh location may be home folder
1:07 PM Abhishek: okay
me: send me pwd
Abhishek: /home/abhishek/
me: ok,,
now apply this command
svn checkout http://imperius.googlecode.com/svn/branches/v0.1

A v0.1/test.cpp
A v0.1/configure
U v0.1
Checked out revision 8.
Whats this?
me: You have checkout the branch v0.1
you can check
home folder
there will be new directory
called v0.1
1:09 PM Abhishek: yeah..there is:)
me: we have done a small mistake while creating our branch
Abhishek: what mistake?
1:10 PM me: we would have applied this command --- "svn copy trunk branches/imperius-v0.1
if you would have applied this command
our branch name would be "imperius-v0.1"
1:11 PM Abhishek: hmm...
right
me: and new folder created in your friend's directory will be named as "imperius-v0.1" and not "v0.1"
it was my mistake...
Abhishek: hey..don't worry..we are just practicing.
1:12 PM me: using this you can send new branch to your friends to download
Abhishek: okay...great:)
me: Do you know why branch;s are needed ??
1:13 PM Abhishek: erm..not sure...But for releases?
me: Yes,, release can be one advantage,, but
Let suppose we are a team of 100 developers
1:14 PM Abhishek: okay
me: and if everybody work in trunk, It will get many problem;s because not everybody work on same feature
Abhishek: hmm...
1:15 PM me: may be if 2 developer want to work on special feature which you do not want to be part of trunk now ,,
Abhishek: I can put it in branch...?
me: then you can branch out the code to new unstable branch and then just use branch
In my company ,, I am working on separate branch ,,
1:16 PM of main project,,
after a month, we use to merge chnages,,
Abhishek: got it:)
me: You have just committed some code in main trunk
Abhishek: yes...
1:17 PM me: using same procude you can now comit in branch too
cd branches/v0.1
Abhishek: got it:) thank
me: and then start editing code and comit it,,
Abhishek: what is Tags?
me: Well I have not used tage much,, but let me try to explain it,,
1:18 PM Abhishek: okay...
1:19 PM me: Let assume you are working in trunk code
and everyday you will modify the code
1:20 PM you want use to try it,,,
Abhishek: hmm...
me: but by this way they will execute the current trunk code
which may be unstalbe
Abhishek: yeah...
1:21 PM me: so,, during the time of developemt you felt like this can be good tryout demo,,
then you can put the tag "stable"
1:22 PM now you have a "stable" tag into tag folder
now you can give link to stable code as
1:23 PM svn checkout http://imperius.googlecode.com/svn/tags/stable
Abhishek: hmm..got it
me: now user will download stable code that that moment
Abhishek: okay...
me: now you can add new code to main trunk
this will not go to "stable" folder
1:24 PM after some time when you feel, that you are ready to make a new stable point, just move the "stable" tag
to current one
Abhishek: okay...
1:25 PM me: "tags" demote the stage of code at perticular instance of time
it is almost similar to "branches"
Abhishek: hmm...now our team can upload our work;)
1:26 PM me: but in branch you can comit but in "tags" you cannot comit (in my knowledge)
Abhishek: okay
me: Have you go the idea of all these thing
Abhishek: yeah..I got it:) thanks
1:27 PM me: See Google code hosting also provide Bug Tacker
do you about it ??
Abhishek: I didn't know...
me: click it,, http://code.google.com/p/imperius/issues/list you will see the issue/bugs
Abhishek: oh...right:) thanks
1:28 PM me: currently there are not bug there,,
when user will see any bug , they will file bug here
1:29 PM anyone can enter new bug here
Abhishek: hmm...
me: developer will get to know about bugs and they can assign bug to other developer
1:30 PM after fixing bug they can close the bug....
Abhishek: Wow! This is far better than I thought.
me: see this project -- you can see bugs
Abhishek: okay...
1:31 PM there are loads:)
me: this bug tracker need to track,, new feature requests and new defects in code
It is recommended that always make checkin (svn ci) against bug
1:32 PM it means , whenever you want to added anything new to code,, first create bug and then make changes in code
comit the changes ,,
1:33 PM while committing source code,, you mention which bug you are solving,,
Abhishek: Okay...
cool
me: and after committing it , just close the bug
let me send you sample
Abhishek: okay...
click it
this revision is made against bug 289
Abhishek: yeah...excellent.
1:35 PM me: you can see the url to bug also,,
while making log file you need to make a url to issue
just write as,,
Fixing Issue 289 by soso changes
1:36 PM this will automatically make link to issue/bug 289
Abhishek: Okay...its pretty good:)
1:37 PM me: You can setup developer mailing list too
Abhishek: using google groups?
me: and set some setting so that all changes will goes to developer list
by this you can track who is check-in-ing (svn ci) what
yup,,,
1:38 PM Abhishek: okay..cool:)
me: this is not needed for small project,,where developer are less then 1-2
Abhishek: we have 21 developers:)
me: wow,,
How 21 developer made this code
1:39 PM your age is 14,, are other developer are same age group,,
Abhishek:
pretty nasty...and I was angered...we mailed it to each other ...None
of us knew about google code or same...Yup! all are 17 or less
1:40 PM me: wow,, I will love to meet you guys,, you are future of india,, are you all in jaipur??
Abhishek: Hehe...four of us are from india...rest, Russia, France, UK, Bulgaria, Latvia,and ya de ya de ya!
1:41 PM me: So,, you all would have used google code,, It have wiki too,,
you can make documentation
too
for code
Abhishek: Yeah..thats what I am thinking...
you are doing any new dev?
1:42 PM me: I am doing a hell of activity ,, my prime goal is make foss adaptation in india and develop Eduvid project
1:43 PM Abhishek: whats Eduvid?
me: do you have any question regarding svn
and google code
Abhishek: Nope..svn is clear..as well as google code...thanks to you...we are a group..named FOSSFY stands for
me: send me url --
Abhishek: Free & Open Source Software For Youth (Foundation)
me: wow,,
1:44 PM Abhishek: Okay... http://fossfy.co.cc --site's pretty new..we just created it yesterday:) and http://phoenix-team.tk
me: have you joined LUG@IITD mailing lsit ??
Abhishek: NONE of them are updated... yeah... I think so;)
1:45 PM me: http://groups.google.com/group/iitdlug/
do join,,
Abhishek: okay, thanks..
1:46 PM me: Do you really want to thanks,, ?? Do you what is the way to thanks in Free Culture ??
Abhishek: Contributing software?
1:47 PM me:
If you get problem while learning something Or you something new
knowledge , Always blog / write tutorial so that other can work on it,,
write software is not a contribution]
Abhishek: okay...
me: see,, google has written google code hosting ,, but you was not aware of this tool
Abhishek: yeah.
1:48 PM me: advocating good tools and software is more important then writing software itself,,
Abhishek: hmm...right
1:49 PM me:
It will be good if you make a good tutorial on get started with google
code,,, I wanted to do it,, but never get time for it,,, So I spent my
time with you on chat,, so that now I will blog out chat...
This chat will be useful to new users who want to quick start on google code
1:50 PM Abhishek: Okay, cool :D
me: this is the reason I was asking pwd and other output time to time
Abhishek: right :)
me: so that other user can read this chat as tutorial, :)

\--
When you do continuous integration, merges should occur often.
The issue with centralized version control systems (like cvs,
subversion) is that merging is a pain, so people never branch
actually, or if they do, they take a day or two to merge and just fix
API changes, or they never merge.

| 1:34 PM me: http://code.google.com/ ...
\--
They also offer mercurial hosting other than subversion if people want
to try out:
http://code.google.com/p/support/wiki/ChoosingAVersionControlSystem
Or, for mercurial hosting, you can use:
http://www.bitbucket.org
If you would like to learn git, you could start with my presentation:
http://shakthimaan.com/downloads/glv/presentations/di-git-ally-managing-love-letters.pdf
and Bart Trojanowskis' video and presentation. See the 'Version
control systems' section from here:
http://shakthimaan.com/downloads/glv/presentations/gnubie.html#_kid
---
| me: no no ,, do not upload tar or zip file
\--
A tagged release is usually released to end users or packagers as a
tarball (.tar.gz or .tar.bz2). Developers or people who need bleeding
edge or latest code always checkout the code from the repository.
So, for a project it is good to have both the repository URL and
tarball releases. Let the users choose whichever one they want.

I think, It depends on requirement also. generally in my company we
have many branches depends on customer, and Yes merging is a real
pain. I admit. In one of my project, I wanted to make some changes
which are not part of project. So I made a separate branch and worked
on it. In such case, branch will be useful.

have many branches depends on customer, and Yes merging is a real

Thanks Shakthi for your valuable inputs.
Great effort Narendra-- This chat is totally priceless-- since using Version Control systems is a big jump that newbies fail to make-- and I am sure it will help a lot of people a lot.
@Narendra:
(1) Can you edit posts sent through email to your Posterious group blog ? If yes, then edit the earlier post you put-- and add Shakthi's comments there-- as a note- at the appropriate point in the chat-- since apart from newbies even I found them useful.
(2)
can we have a sort of "informal, optional best effort protocol"-- that encourages people to avoid top-posting; and also encourages people to trim-off all except the relevant parts of the reply ?
Many of even your posts are top-posted-- and for someone reading the group as a digest, instead of getting 10 messages a day-- top posts essentially render the message-digest sent by a listserv totally unreadable.
ps: I hate it when people are snubbed or scolded for top-posting-- since when replying using gmail-mobile or certain other mobile email clients even I am forced to top-post-- but yes, I do agree with the purists (including Shakthi) who advise to avoid top-posting.
What say ?
Best Regards,
Nalin
