Configuring Git on Oracle Data Science Cloud Service

gowebing 2024-12-02

Hello to everyone!

In this article, we will establish a connection between Oracle Data Science Cloud Service and our remote Git repository. We will then send the code to our remote repository via the Data Science Cloud service. I hope it will be a useful article in terms of awareness.

Many Python libraries are available in Oracle's Data Science Cloud service. We can easily install libraries that are not installed from the terminal interface. Git is one example of software already installed in Oracle Data Science Cloud Service. You can open the terminal screen and check this setup with the command below.

     Shell 
   
xxxxxxxxxx
 
conda list

Conda list command output

Conda list command output

Yes, as you can see, it is ready to use Git in our service. Now, let's look at how to connect our remote repository. I will use my own Github account for this.

Now, I want to go to the /blockstorage directory and create the directory where I will clone my remote repository. At this point, I would like to remind you of the following information. When you stop the operation of your notebook (deactivation process via screens) in Oracle Data Science Cloud Service, you should definitely move the work that you do not want to be lost into the /blockstorage directory.

Otherwise, you may encounter a situation where your work is deleted. For this reason, I suggest you do your work under the blockstorage directory.

Now, let's create a directory where we will hold the warehouse. Then, we'll do our repository configurations.

     Shell 
   
xxxxxxxxxx

cd block_storage
mkdir GitRepo 
cd GitRepo 
git init 
git config --global user.email "emrahmete@gmail.com" 
git config --global user.name "emrahmete" 
git clone https://github.com/emrahmete/codebase

Yes, we have cloned our remote Git repository. When we look inside the GitRepo directory we created in the /blockstorage directory, we will see that our entire repository has been copied.

     Shell 
   
xxxxxxxxxx

cd /home/datascience/block_storage/GitRepo 
ls -al

We saw that our codebase folder is coming. In this folder, we can access the code whenever we want, open and change it, and send it to our remote repository. Now, let's create a new file in the GitRepo directory, where I created a copy of our repository, and send it to our remote repository.

I will put my new file under the /home/datascience/block_storage/GitRepo/codebase/oracle/oml directory in my repository. Then, I will send it to the remote server from here. So let's start doing our operations.

     Shell 
   
xxxxxxxxxx

cd /home/datascience/block_storage/GitRepo/codebase/oracle/oml 
echo 'Cloud Repo Test' > cloudtest.dat 
ls -al more cloudtest.dat 
git add . 
git commit -m "DS Cloud Service Commit Test"

First of all, we wrote a simple text and created our cloudtest.dat file and committed this file to our local Git repository. Now, we have to push our remote Git repository. To do this, we will need to authorize a remote Git repository using our credentials on the screen. When the information is verified, our code will be sent to the remote server.

     Shell 
   
xxxxxxxxxx

git push

Pushing commits

Pushing commits

Yes, we have committed the newly created file in our local to the remote repo. Now, we can check if the file is going from the GitHub interface.

As we have seen, we have been able to send code very easily to our remote Git repository via Oracle Data Science Cloud Service.
