Git - Version Control Part 2

Hi jasmeen, 
Here are a few things to check:

1. Check the HTML File:
Open your Flask template (e.g., about.html) and ensure your name is linked correctly:

<a href="{{ url_for('your_page_route') }}">Your Name</a>

or

<a href="jasmeen.html">Jasmeen</a>

2. Check Flask Routing:
If your page is dynamically generated, ensure you have a Flask route like this:

@app.route('/jasmeen')
def jasmeen():
    return render_template('jasmeen.html')

3. Ensure Static Files Load Properly:
If using static HTML files, make sure jasmeen.html is inside the templates folder and properly linked.

4.Inspect Page Source:
Right-click on the page and select "View Page Source" to check if your name's link appears in the HTML.

5.Clear Cache & Restart Flask Server:
- Clear your browser cache and reload.
- If using Flask, restart the development server with flask run.

If you've tried these steps and still face issues, let me know what your code looks like, and I can help debug further!

Hey Jasmeen, Make sure you follow all the steps as listed in: https://discuss.cloudxlab.com/t/bad-file-descriptor-while-running-git-clone/8351.

I see you have missed out on 'After that, create a directory with your username to avoid ownership issues, and clone the repo inside the newly created directory.'.

I was facing Authentication issue.. And it got resolve by Creating PAT on github.com and using it to commit and push.
1. Create PAT and noteit down somewhere as it is visioble once while it get created.
then use below commands.
 *  git remote set-url origin https://<YOUR_PAT>@github.com/<USERNAME>/<REPOSITORY>.git

after that it will work for commit and push.

How to fix it?

Hi Prince,

What do you understand from the displayed error?

Hi Prince,

Thank you for sharing your thoughts and for your patience. I understand how frustrating it must be to have unanswered questions, especially when you're navigating a field that may be new to you. We genuinely appreciate your feedback, and I sincerely apologize for any delays in responses you've experienced.

At the moment, I cannot see any of your other comments apart from this slide. It seems that your query regarding hardlinks to a directory was already resolved via email, which is why it was not answered again in the comments section. Could you please share any other questions or concerns, or links to your previous comments, so we can assist you further?

Your learning experience is important to us, and we're here to support you throughout your journey.

Thank you again for your understanding and for bringing this to our attention!

Hi Prince,

Let's understand it step by step.

Here, the goal is to develop a feature in a public repository by adding functionality to a web server. Specifically, we are adding a personalized link to the homepage, which will lead to a custom HTML page named after you.

Steps Breakdown:

1. Create a feature branch and switch to the newly created branch

In Git, branches allow you to work on different parts of a project separately without affecting the main (or "production") version of the code. By creating a branch named feature/<name>, you’re setting up an isolated environment to implement and test new features. This branch can later be merged into the main project once everything works as expected.

After creating the branch, you need to switch to it so you can start making changes in that branch. The below command creates a new branch and switches to it:

git checkout -b feature/<name>

2. Make the required changes

Now that you’re in your feature branch, you can do your work—whether it’s editing index.html or making any other changes required for the task. In this case, you're adding a personalized link to the homepage and creating a custom HTML page.

3. Commit the changes and merge them into the main branch

Once your changes are done and you’ve tested them, you need to commit them to your feature branch. Then, you can merge your feature branch into the main branch to make your changes live.

This process ensures that your new feature is successfully added to the main project, maintaining a clean and organized workflow.

Hi Priyanka,

Can you try http://e.cloudxlab.com:4180/? The 'f' cluster is currently not in use, so we recommend using the 'e' cluster instead.

If you face any further issues, feel free to reach out, and we’ll be happy to assist you!

Hi Priyanka,

Make sure you have installed flask in your virtual environment.

Hi VIdya,

Are you trying to push to ashok's repository https://github.com/singh-ashok25/webserver/ ?
if yes, then this won't execute because you don't have access to the repository.

(webserver01) [vidyakuruvalli8417@cxln4 webserver]$ pip install Flask
Collecting Flask
  Could not fetch URL https://pypi.python.org/simple/flask/: There was a problem confirming the ssl certificate: [SSL: CERTIFICATE_VERIFY_FAILED] certificate verify failed (_ssl.c:852) - skipping
  Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement Flask (from versions: )
No matching distribution found for Flask

Hi Kaustubh,

What I can understand from the error is that URL is incorrect. It will be like this: http://f.cloudxlab.com:4100/

Hi Vishwajeet,

You must set your identity, i.e., email and name, before committing so that git can track who has made the commit. You can use the commands that git suggested in above screenshot to set your email and name.

Hi Vishwajeet,

To resolve that, you can clone the repo in the tmp directory and then move it to your home directory. You can move to the tmp directory by using:

cd /tmp

After that, clone the repo as told in the tutorial. After the repo gets cloned, move the webserver directory to your home directory by-

mv source destination

where, source is the path of the directory which you want to move, and destination is the path of the directory where you want to move the source directory.

That may do your work.

Hi I am facing the same issue. It is showing the following error message:
mv: cannot move ‘/tmp’ to ‘/Session3’: Permission denied

Hi RIshab,

You can't push to someone's else repository. You can only clone/fork it if it is public. 

Hi Sachin,

Make sure you are entering the correct credentials when asked. I would suggest you to setup up ssh access from the command line and add it to GitHub. Then you will not need to enter username and password again and again.

You can refer to https://cloudxlab.com/assessment/displayslide/4953/github-project-getting-started-with-git-creating-ssh-keys-and-adding-to-github?course_id=116&playlist_id=435 for it.

Hi Sachin,

In earlier versions of GitHub, the list of commands used to be displayed. To learn the essential commands, you can follow the video tutorial and replicate the actions of the instructor.

What error does it shows?

Hi,

Please use a virtual environment if you want to install any modules on the lab. For directions in virtual environment usage, please visit https://cloudxlab.com/blog/install-python-packages-cloudxlab/

Thanks.

Hi,

Could you please elaborate on what you were trying to do? Please tell what exactly you wanted to do. If possible, please attach the screenshot of the issue.
