Clone Repo​

These instructions will walk you through cloning the sop-development repo to your local computer. The same can be done with any other repo for which you have read/write permissions.

note

cd to where you want your code before running the following as it will create a folder for the repo wherever you are

It is now later

Below, ONLY include your username before the @. You will be prompted to sign in via a pop up for GitLab. Use your PAT as your password!

  1. From your terminal, clone the sop-development repo and cd into the sop-development repo's root directory.
git -c http.sslVerify=false clone --recursive https://<username>@code.levelup.cce.af.mil/262-cos/dok/sop-development.git
cd ./sop-development
  1. Set sslVerify to false for the repo and any submodule. For sop-developemnt, that only includes crew-aids repo included as the docs/ dir. On completion, you should be in the sop-development project's root dir.
git config http.sslVerify "false"
cd ./docs
git config http.sslVerify "false"
cd ..

Checkout your branch​

You will not be able to create a merge request if you try to push your code to the main branch. Checkout the branch you created in the previous step by running the following command

Tip

if you've forgotten your branch name, you can see all the branches on the server by running the following command

git branch -r
git checkout -b <branch-name>

You now have the files local on your computer and can modify them however you want.
