Step 2 - Set the software repository

BETTER data pipelines rely on GitLab to host the software repositories

The generic URL is https://gitlab.com/ec-better/, then a sub-group per promoter, e.g. wfp and finally the data pipeline identifier:

Gitlab software repository for BETTER data transformation application

Example of a software repository URL:

• https://gitlab.com/ec-better/wfp/wfp-01-01-01 for the Web interface
• git@gitlab.com:ec-better/wfp/wfp-01-01-01.git for the git ssh clone URL
• https://gitlab.com/ec-better/wfp/wfp-01-01-01.git for the HTTPs clone URL
• Type the lines below to go to the folder where the archetype was instantiated during step 1

cd /workspace/wfp-01-01-01-n

Note: ‘n’ is the letter assigned for the training

• Initialize the git repository and do the first commit on the master branch

git init
git add -A
git commit -m "Initial commit"

• Setup the right sync between the local folder and the software repository

git remote add origin https://gitlab.com/ec-better/training/wfp-01-01-01-n.git

Note: ‘n’ is the letter assigned for the training

Note: In subsequent activities, update the software repository URL to the project you’re working on

• Create the software repository branches and push them to GitLab:

git branch develop
git branch docker
git checkout develop
git push -u origin master develop docker

Gitlab push to master branch

The software repository is now configured properly. The next step is to stage-in a Sentinel-1 product.
