How To Use Git in Eclipse

Version control is one of important things that you should consider when you work as a team with some people in a project development. In software development, there are some version control tools that can maintain application source codes such as Git and SVN. Main different between them is the use of local repository. SVN doesn't use any local repository so every committed changes will be stored directly to and maintain by remote SVN server. But, when you use Git, you must create local repository first. Pictures below show you the difference.

You can use Git with some tools such as command line tools and desktop client applications. In this post, I will only show you how to use Git with Eclipse.


Set Up Remote Repository on GitHub

There are many Git repository service providers such as GitHub, Sourceforge, BitBucket, etc. But, I will use GitHub as example.
  • Create new account on GitHub.
  • Create new repository on GitHub. As a free member, you only can make public repositories. In this example, my repository name is "test".
Create new repository
  • Copy your Git repository address. For example, my repository address is "https://github.com/lukibsubekti/test.git".
Copy repository location

Install EGit in Eclipse

Some Eclipse distributions have installed Git tools. But if there's no Git tools in your Eclipse, you can use EGit plugin.
  • Choose Install New Software on Eclipse.
  • Set software repository location to "http://download.eclipse.org/egit/updates".
  • Install "Eclipse Git Team Provider".
Install EGit

Create Local Repository, Commit Changes, and Push to Remote Repository

  • Create a new project in Eclipse. For example, I create a PHP project named "project_A" and use "D:\Web Projects\project_A" as project directory.
Create new project
  • Right click on project_A folder in Eclipse. Choose Team --> Share Project --> Git.
  • Create local repository. I use "D:\git\test" as the location.
Create local repository
  • NOTE: In Eclipse, it's recommended that you don't create local repository inside your project directory because it can make Eclipse project load process to be longer.
  • Finally, in my work, Eclipse use "D:\git\test\.git" as local repository directory (outside the project_A  project directory) and move project_A project directory to "D:\git\test\project_A".
  • Try to create new file on your project. You can use "Git Staging" panel to see all current changes which has not yet committed (unstaged changes).
  • Right click  on project_A folder in Eclipse. Choose Team --> Commit.
  • Insert your comment and select all files to be committed to repository. If you choose "Commit", your changes will be only on local repository. You should choose "Commit and Push" to make it available on remote repository.
Commit changes
  • Set up push configuration.
Push to remote repository
Push ref specification
  • Now, your repository will be available on GitHub.
Remote repository on GitHub

Clone Project from Remote Repository

For this tutorial, I have built another project named project_X and stored it in GitHub repository. I have no local copy of this project. So, I must clone the project from GitHub first.
  • For example, the project is in remote repository at "https://github.com/lukibsubekti/test2.git".
  • In Eclipse, choose File --> Import --> Project from Git --> Clone URI. This step will create local repositry. I place the local repository in "D:\git\test2\.git".
Clone from remote repository
  • Because project_X in the repository is an Eclipse project, you can choose "Import existing project" in wizard for project import. It will create a project and place it in "D:\git\test2\project_X". 
  • If there's no project configuration file (or other IDE configuration files) in remote repository, you can choose "New project wizard". If you choose new project wizard, at project creation section, you must choose project directory which has been created in local repository directory (eg. "D:\git\test3\project_name" not "D:\Web Projects\project_name").
  • Now you have local repository and the project.
You can get more tutorials from Vogella or Eclipse Wiki.

Rangkaian Sensor Infrared dengan Photo Dioda

Keunggulan photodioda dibandingkan LDR adalah photodioda lebih tidak rentan terhadap noise karena hanya menerima sinar infrared, sedangkan LDR menerima seluruh cahaya yang ada termasuk infrared. Rangkaian yang akan kita gunakan adalah seperti gambar di bawah ini. Pada saat intensitas Infrared yang diterima Photodiode besar maka tahanan Photodiode menjadi kecil, sedangkan jika intensitas Infrared yang diterima Photodiode kecil maka tahanan yang dimiliki photodiode besar. Jika  tahanan photodiode kecil  maka tegangan  V- akan kecil . Misal tahanan photodiode mengecil menjadi 10kOhm. Maka dengan teorema pembagi tegangan: V- = Rrx/(Rrx + R2) x Vcc V- = 10 / (10+10) x Vcc V- = (1/2) x 5 Volt V- = 2.5 Volt Sedangkan jika  tahanan photodiode besar  maka tegangan  V- akan besar  (mendekati nilai Vcc). Misal tahanan photodiode menjadi 150kOhm. Maka dengan teorema pembagi tegangan: V- = Rrx/(Rrx + R2) x Vcc V- = 150 / (150+10) x Vcc V- = (150/160) x 5

Setting Up Next.js Project With ESLint, Typescript, and AirBnB Configuration

If we initiate a Next.js project using the  create-next-app tool, our project will be included with ESLint configuration that we can apply using yarn run lint . By default, the tool installs eslint-config-next and extends next/core-web-vitals in the ESLint configuration. The Next.js configuration has been integrated with linting rules for React and several other libraries and tools. yarn create next-app --typescript For additional configuration such as AirBnB, it is also possible. First, we need to install the peer dependencies of eslint-config-airbnb . We also add support for Typescript using eslint-config-airbnb-typescript . yarn add --dev eslint-config-airbnb eslint-plugin-import eslint-plugin-jsx-a11y eslint-plugin-react eslint-plugin-react-hooks yarn add --dev eslint-config-airbnb-typescript @typescript-eslint/eslint-plugin @typescript-eslint/parser After that, we can update the .eslintrc.json file for the new configuration. { "extends": [ "airb

Configuring Swap Memory on Ubuntu Using Ansible

If we maintain a Linux machine with a low memory capacity while we are required to run an application with high memory consumption, enabling swap memory is an option. Ansible can be utilized as a helper tool to automate the creation of swap memory. A swap file can be allocated in the available storage of the machine. The swap file then can be assigned as a swap memory. Firstly, we should prepare the inventory file. The following snippet is an example, you must provide your own configuration. [server] 192.168.1.2 [server:vars] ansible_user=root ansible_ssh_private_key_file=~/.ssh/id_rsa Secondly, we need to prepare the task file that contains not only the tasks but also some variables and connection information. For instance, we set /swapfile  as the name of our swap file. We also set the swap memory size to 2GB and the swappiness level to 60. - hosts: server become: true vars: swap_vars: size: 2G swappiness: 60 For simplicity, we only check the exi

Managing MongoDB Records Using NestJS and Mongoose

NestJS is a framework for developing Node.js-based applications. It provides an additional abstraction layer on top of Express or other HTTP handlers and gives developers a stable foundation to build applications with structured procedures. Meanwhile, Mongoose is a schema modeling helper based on Node.js for MongoDB. There are several main steps to be performed for allowing our program to handle MongoDB records. First, we need to add the dependencies which are @nestjs/mongoose , mongoose , and @types/mongoose . Then, we need to define the connection configuration on the application module decorator. import { MongooseModule } from '@nestjs/mongoose'; @Module({ imports: [ MongooseModule.forRoot('mongodb://localhost:27017/mydb'), ], controllers: [AppController], providers: [AppService], }) Next, we create the schema definition using helpers provided by NestJS and Mongoose. The following snippet is an example with a declaration of index setting and an o

Enabling Single Webcam for Multiple Applications Access in Linux

A webcam can not be accessed by two or more applications simultaneously. The solution is you can duplicate the video stream and make it available for any application. In short, you create a virtual webcam. First, a webcam is commonly detected on  /dev/video* . Before you go through the steps to duplicate video stream, you should check whether your webcam is working. You can try to capture video using VLC by this command. (For example, your webcam is on  /dev/video0 ) $ vlc v4l2:///dev/video0 If it doesn't work, you can try to change its mode to 0777 and make sure there are no other applications accessing it. If it still doesn't work, you can buy a new webcam. Seriously. Don't buy a cheap and unknown-brand webcam. I have $5 webcam and it had wasted my time. $ apt-get install ffmpeg linux-generic v4l2loopback-dkms FFmpeg is the main application that will access your webcam and duplicate its video stream. V4L2loopback is needed to create multiple virtual capture devic

Configure Gitlab SMTP Setting

Gitlab CE or EE is shipped with the capability to send messages through SMTP service as the basic feature to send notifications or updates to the users. The configuration parameters are available in /etc/gitlab/gitlab.rb . Each SMTP service provider has a different configuration, therefore the Gitlab configuration parameters should be adjusted according to the requirements. Some examples have been provided by Gitlab here . This is an example if you use the Zoho service. gitlab_rails['smtp_enable'] = true gitlab_rails['smtp_address'] = "smtp.zoho.com" gitlab_rails['smtp_port'] = 587 gitlab_rails['smtp_authentication'] = "plain" gitlab_rails['smtp_enable_starttls_auto'] = true gitlab_rails['smtp_user_name'] = "gitlab@mydomain.com" gitlab_rails['smtp_password'] = "mypassword" gitlab_rails['smtp_domain'] = "smtp.zoho.com" This is another example of using Amazon SES w
