Only to change a file on terminal that you have never used before. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Surely there is a better way? ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Well luckily for you programmers are lazy ------------------------------------------------------------------------- There are ways to transfer files from your local computer to the server. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Fow Windows you have WinSCP: <> ------------------------------------------------------------------------- If ye are using linux you can use put ``sftp://{username}@skynet.skynet.ie`` (or use filezilla) ------------------------------------------------------------------------- ## Gitlab ------------------------------------------------------------------------- As part of your Skynet account you have access to our Gitlab Server. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1. Go to <> 2. Login with ``username`` and ``password`` 3. Done ------------------------------------------------------------------------- ## Gitlab Website ------------------------------------------------------------------------- its possible to have a website on gitlab. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Powered by source control and CI/CD pipelines (devops) ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Go to the ``Dashboard`` > ``Groups`` > ``New Group`` ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Name the group Personal or College or something like that. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Inside that Group create a ``New Project``, name it whatever ye want. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- ``Create from Template`` > Any one that starts with ``Pages`` (I recommend ``pages/html``) ------------------------------------------------------------------------- It will appear on the screen in a moment after clicking. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Go up to Edit > Web IDE > Change something on the index.html ------------------------------------------------------------------------- ``[ctrl] + [shift] + [g]`` (or click the icon on the left), enter a msg And ``commit to master``. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Your website will now be build and deployed. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Woot!!! Devops!!! ------------------------------------------------------------------------- To get teh link is a tad annoying. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Go to ``Settings`` (bottom left of repo page) > Pages ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Open the link in a new tab and marvel at yer creation. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- If you go back and commit new changes they will show up as well. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- In a future session we will discuss Gitlab (and git in general) more. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Here completes the rough introduction to Skynet and creating websites. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- If ye have any questions/ideas feel free to ask. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- If ye want to take a deeper look into server admin feel free to ask. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Skynet team is always open to newcomers!
