Website cloning

Implementing the web page repository in GitLab requires the computer to be prepared beforehand by performing the following actions:

(1) Download Git from and install it.

(2) Download Sublime text from and install it.

(3) Clone the web page to the personal computer.

Prior to cloning, the following procedures must be performed:

  • From the prepared folder, selecting Git Bash Here from the context menu, run Git.

  • Being in the console environment we type the following commands:

    • User configuration

    git config --global user.name "Guadalupe Choque Choque" [ ┘|

    Configuration of the email address

    git config --global user.email "gnchch8@gmail.com" [ ┘|

    Key generation

    ssh-keygen -t rsa -C "gnchch8@gmail.com"[ ┘|
    Press [enter] and then enter a password and confirmation.

    Key copy in GitLab

    cat ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub

  • Select and copy the generated code to the clipboard.
  • Run GitLab.

  • Go to the account and select Edit profile from the menu.

  • Select from the User Settings panel, SSH Keys, paste the copied in Key and click on Add Key.

    • The computer is now connected to GitLab.

  • Clone content from GitLab page to personal computer

    • Go to the web page repository. Go to Menu/Projects/Your projects. Get the Cloner button menu and going to Clone with SSH, copy the URL.

    Go to Git and in the command line type:

    git clone “[url_of_the_GitLab_page]”

    when asked to continue connecting, answer: yes and then enter the password considered above.

    To verify the cloning, go to the personal folder created earlier.You will notice that a subfolder with the user’s name has been created.

    (4) Editing the web page

    Before starting to edit the web page, you must enter the working folder.

    cd [folder_name]

    View the status of the working folder

    git status

    Open the file to be edited with Sublime Text.

    Proceed to make the necessary changes.

    Once the changes have been made, proceed to save them. In the Git environment, type git status again.

    To add the changes made, you must first move them to a temporary scenario. To do this, type:

    git add .

    You must assign a name or tag to the added with:

    git commit -m “commit’s Message”

    To join the modifications to the page you write:

    git push

    Enter the previously created password.

    After a short time the page will be updated.
