Cloning an Existing Git Repository

After installing the freshcopy of ubuntu 11.04, I need to clone my already existing
github repository to my local drive to start gitting. Following are the steps, I had done to Clone the Existing git repository and start Gitting.

1 . Generate SSH keys for the repository. I tried to use already existing key in the github repo but I end up with an error. So created a new keygen by


ravikumar@ravikumar-desktop:~$ssh-keygen -t rsa -C "XXXX@gmail.com"

2. Copy the Newly generated SSH key.


ravikumar@ravikumar-desktop:~$ cd .ssh
ravikumar@ravikumar-desktop:~/.ssh$ gedit id_rsa.pub
copy the entire key.

3. Now Login to your Github account and Goto the Repository's administration and goto 'Deploy keys',  click Edit and paste the new key.

4.  Now Goto following repository's page and copy the url as highlighted below:
Github url 
 
5. Clone the repo to your Local drive:

ravikumar@ravikumar-desktop:~$ git clone git@github.com:XXXX/codehacks.git
 Cloning into codehacks...

 Receiving objects: 100% (304/304), 3.83 MiB | 16 KiB/s, done.
 Resolving deltas: 100% (60/60), done.

6.Now start Gitting:

Android Studio Ninja Tip: Custom try/catch code template

As an Android Studio user, you should be familiar with the “ surround-with try-catch” functionality. Surround with try-catch When you use Ctrl+Alt+T (Linux) / Cmd+Alt+T (Mac) shortcut, the built-in try-catch generator auto generates a call to the printStackTrace() method of class Exception in the catch block. After this, we manually add some code to log the exception. e.g., Log.e(TAG, “Oops! something gone wrong”, e); As a power user, you may have used some or all of the following built-in Live templates: Live Templates You can save yourself the pain of these 5-keystrokes or repetitive typing or copy pasting the code by becoming a Ninja who uses a custom built-in try-catch template. Steps for customization Step-1 : Go to Android Studio Preferences | Editor | File and Code Templates Step-2:  Select Code | Catch Statement Body Step-3:  Replace the existing template from: ${EXCEPTION}.printStackTrace(); with: Log.e(getClass().getSimpleName(), "Ex

Android : Sharing code and resources between UI and unit tests

As an Android developer you are already familiar with writing Unit and UI tests. This post is about "How to share the code and resources between your UI and unit tests?". I'd used "Appointments List" as an example scenario for this post. Existing Setup For UI testing, I'd have list of appointments API response in JSON format as "appointments.json" in res directory. The .json file is is converted to AppointmentsListResponse using JsonParser. androidTest/java/com/example/AppointmentScreenTest.java AppointmentsListResponse getFakeAppointmentsResponse() { InputStream in = getInstrumentation ().getContext() .getResources() .openRawResource(com.example.android.internal.test.R.raw.appointments); AppointmentsListResponse fakeResponse = new JsonParser(in).parseTo(AppointmentsListResponse. class ); } androidTest/ java/ com/example/JsonParser.java public class JsonParser String mStringToParse; private static Gson mGso
