Workspace Setup¶

How to orgnaize all your projects

Problems¶

tl;dr

version control and sync
name collision, ie: fork
too many projects, ie: gaocegege

The long story¶

(This is not real)

Version Control and Sync¶

Jack is working on his homework, he want to try a new algorithm, so he copied a new folder.

D:/Code/
    -- homework
    -- homework-2

And Jack asked Mike to check his code, he send the code via email(QQ), and put Mike’s modification in a new folder.

D:/Code/
    -- homework
    -- homework-2
    -- homework-3
    .....

And he got 10 homework and 4 labs for this course, boom! (No picture no BB)

messy folders

Jack got a laptop and a PC, he have to copy all the code in flash disk in order to sync, and sometimes he forgot it. Jack want to go back to his old code, he want to add tag for certain code, like fix-memory-leak, also he needs to work with Mike.

That’s why Git, GitHub shows up.

Git is a version control system, and GitHub is the most popular Git repository host, free for opensource projects.

Name collision¶

Jack forked a project, gaocegege’s scrala

D:/Code/
   -- scrala

But he wants to have a local copy for the original repo, so he have to rename it.

D:/Code/
   -- scrala
   -- gaocegege-scrala

He wrote a scarala that can only be for his lab project

D:/Code/
   -- scrala
   -- gaocegege-scrala
   -- lab-scrala

He is tired of renaming the repo.

Too many projects¶

Jack got homework, lab, outsource, opensource, for gf, for goddess’s bf etc.

Solution¶

tl;dr

use git
tree
the Go way

Put your folders in a tree¶

You have many source for your projects, homework, lab, outsource, opensource, for gf, for goddess’s bf etc. You can have workspace like the following

D:/Code/
   -- homework
      -- 2016-Spring
         -- environment
   -- lab
      -- cit
         -- distributed-monitoring
      -- cat
         -- wangwangwang
   -- eclipse
      -- che
      -- flux
      -- che       
   -- good-man
       -- ex
          -- python-final
       -- goodess-bf-1
       -- goodess-ex-bf          
          -- master-thesis

Organize by Git host¶

This is the Go way , if you have a parent directory for bin.

Since it’s a goode idea to have all your code in sync, you may have multiple Git host, GitHub for public repos, GitLab for internal projects

D:/Code/
   -- github.com
      -- at15
         -- crawler
         -- how-to-play-tennis
      -- gaocegege
         -- scrala
         -- how-to-dig-holes
   -- git.tongqu.me
      -- tongqu
         -- tongqu5
         -- tongqu-api
         -- tongqu-web

the workspace for at15. the editor is VSCode

at15-workspace
