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.

Git scheme

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.

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

Installing VSCode Server Manually on Ubuntu

I've ever gotten stuck on updating the VSCode server on my remote server because of an unstable connection between my remote server and visualstudio.com that host the updated server source codes. The download and update process failed over and over so I couldn't remotely access my remote files through VSCode. The solution is by downloading the server source codes through a host with a stable connection which in my case I downloaded from a cloud VPS server. Then I transfer the downloaded source codes as a compressed file to my remote server through SCP. Once the file had been on my remote sever, I extracted them and align the configuration. The more detailed steps are as follows. First, we should get the commit ID of our current VSCode application by clicking on the About option on the Help menu. The commit ID is a hexadecimal number like 92da9481c0904c6adfe372c12da3b7748d74bdcb . Then we can download the compressed server source codes as a single file from the host.

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

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

Resize VirtualBox LVM Storage

VirtualBox is a free solution to host virtual machines on your computer. It provides configuration options for many components on our machine such as memory, storage, networking, etc. It also allows us to resize our machine storage after its operating system is installed. LVM is a volume manager in a Linux platform that helps us to allocate partitions in the system and configure the storage size that will be utilized for a specific volume group. There are some points to be noticed when we work with LVM on VirtualBox to resize our storage. These are some steps that need to be performed. 1. Stop your machine before resizing the storage. 2. Set new storage size using GUI by selecting " File > Virtual Media Manager > Properties " then find the desired virtual hard disk name that will be resized. OR , by running a CLI program located in " Program Files\Oracle\VirtualBox\VBoxManage.exe ". cd "/c/Program Files/Oracle/VirtualBox" ./VBoxManage.exe list
