# Cloud Source Repositories: Qwik Start - GSP121

## **Overview**

[Google Cloud Source Repositories](https://cloud.google.com/source-repositories/) provides Git version control to support collaborative development of any application or service. In this lab, you will create a local Git repository that contains a sample file, add a Google Source Repository as a remote, and push the contents of the local repository. You will use the source browser included in Source Repositories to view your repository files from within the Cloud Console.

**Objectives**

In this lab, you will learn how to perform the following tasks:

* Create a new repository
    
* Add a Google Source Repository as a remote
    
* Push to the Cloud Source Repository
    

### **Task 1. Create a new repository**

* Start a new session in Cloud Shell and run the following command to create a new Cloud Source Repository named `REPO_DEMO`:
    

```apache
gcloud source repos create REPO_DEMO
```

You can safely ignore any billing warnings for creating repositories.

### **Task 2. Clone the new repository into your Cloud Shell session**

* Clone the contents of your new Cloud Source Repository to a local repo in your Cloud Shell session:
    

```apache
gcloud source repos clone REPO_DEMO
```

The `gcloud source repos clone` command adds Cloud Source Repositories as a remote named origin and clones it into a local Git repository.

### **Task 3. Push to the Cloud Source Repository**

1. Go into the local repository you created:
    

```apache
cd REPO_DEMO
```

2. Run the following command to create a file `myfile.txt` in your local repository:
    

```apache
echo 'Hello World!' > myfile.txt
```

3. Commit the file using the following Git commands:
    

```apache
git config --global user.email "you@example.com"
```

```apache
git config --global user.name "Your Name"
```

```apache
git add myfile.txt
```

```apache
git commit -m "First file using Cloud Source Repositories" myfile.txt
```

Your output should resemble the following:

```apache
[master (root-commit) c072ab6] First file using Cloud Source Repositories
 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+)
 create mode 100644 myfile.txt
```

4. Once you've committed code to the local repository, add its contents to Cloud Source Repositories using the `git push` command:
    

```apache
git push origin master
```

5. Git pushes the sample application files from the `master` branch to the `origin` remote:
    

```apache
Enumerating objects: 3, done.
Counting objects: 100% (3/3), done.
Writing objects: 100% (3/3), 247 bytes | 0 bytes/s, done.
Total 3 (delta 0), reused 0 (delta 0)
To https://source.developers.google.com/p/qwiklabs-gcp-ba5b4dcd/r/REPO_DEMO
 * [new branch]      master -> master
```

### **Task 4. Browse files in the Google Cloud Source Repository**

Use the Google Cloud Source Repositories source code browser to view repository files. You can filter your view to focus on a specific branch, tag, or comment.

* Run the command to list the Repositories:
    

```apache
gcloud source repos list
```

Click on the `URL` to browse the sample files you pushed to the repository. The console shows the files in the master branch at the most recent commit.

### **Task 5. View a file in the Google Cloud repository**

1. From the Console, open the **Navigation menu** () > **View All Products**. Under **CI/CD** section, click **Source Repositories**.
    
2. Click `REPO_DEMO` > `myfile.txt` to view the file's contents in the source code browser.

### **Task 6. Test your understanding**

Below are multiple-choice questions to reinforce your understanding of this lab's concepts. Answer them to the best of your abilities.

You can add content to Cloud Source Repositories using the \_\_\_\_ command.

* <mark>git push</mark>
    
* git commit
    
* git clone
    

The `gcloud source repos clone` command adds Cloud Source Repositories as a remote named origin.

* <mark>True</mark>
    
* False
