Intro to the group

When you were accepted into WATonomous, your UW Gitlab User was automatically added to the WATonomous Gitlab Group and assigned the correct permission levels. 

To go to the groups homepage, follow these steps:

1. Navigate to https://git.uwaterloo.ca/WATonomous
2. Sign in with your WatIAM Username and Password

Congrats, you're in! Feel free to look around.

Permissions

The WATonomous Gitlab Group uses 4 Permission Levels:

1. Guest: Can only view code
2. Developer: Can create and edit non-protected branches (not develop & master)
3. Maintainer: Can edit protected branches (develop & master)
4. Owner: Can do admin stuff like delete projects

A full description of each permission level can be found here: https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/user/permissions.html#project-members-permissions

WATonomous members are assigned to the permission levels using the following rules:

• Team Captains are assigned Owner level
• Anyone who is in neither the Software Division nor the Electrical Division are assigned Guest level
• For people who are in the Software Division or the Electrical Division
  • Leaders (tech lead, manager, director, etc...) are assigned the Maintainer level
  • Core Members are assigned the Developer level

Learning how to use Git and Gitlab

Learning how to Git and Gitlab is an essential process that all WATonomous members who work with Source Code must go through. Luckily, you're not on your own, WATonomous will teach you! We usually hold Git and Gitlab tutorials during the Onboarding Development Cycle (Dec Cycle 0) of each term. The knowledge from that presentation is saved in the Git and Gitlab Tutorial page.
