Ingest Scripts and Git

When creating a new ingest script or config file it is important to make sure that this is stored in CEDA's Git Lab repo. However, it's not obvious how to do this. Here's some instructions.

ALWAYS USE CEDA's Git Lab instance as this is a private repo and never the public CEDA git repo!

Check if your software dir is covered by Git

cd <dir you wish to check>
git status

This will tell you if your directory is covered by Git or not

Check your code into Git Lab

1. log into CEDA's Git Lab instance at the Ingest project level: https://breezy.badc.rl.ac.uk/ingest
2. Select New Project
3. Give this the name of the directory you are working in
4. follow the instructions under the Push an existing Git repository section
