BusTracker1.0 (Virginia Tech Bus Tracker for Windows Phone 8.0)

Guide on How to Clone and Import theVT MAD Windows Phone Bus Tracker Project into Visual Studio 2010

This app will be used to track the buses around the campus using the BT4U API.

Before We Ge Started..

Please Make Sure You Have The Following Set Up.. All downloads can be found here.

• Windows 8 Installed
• Windows Phone 8.0 SDK Installed

You have the choice of using Git either with Git Bash or GitHub for Windows. I will explain how to set up both, but you are only required to set up one.

(Option 1) Setting up Git Bash

Open Git Bash and type in the following command

cd C:\Users\%USERNAME%\"My Documents"\"Visual Studio 2010"\Projects

Next, we will clone the git repository

git clone https://github.com/avneet723/BusTracker1.0.git

We need to give Git some basic information about ourselves

Let's navigate into our git repository we just cloned

cd BusTracker1.0

Set up our name and email.. For example, If my name is John Doe and my email johndoe@vt.edu

git config user.name "John Doe"
git config user.email "johndoe@vt.edu"    

This Ends Setting Up Git with Git Bash

(Option 2) Setting up GitHub for Windows

Open GitHub and sign in with your credentials

Go to Tools -> Options

Two things we will want to change are configure git and default storage directory

For configure git, we need to set up our name and email.. For example, If my name is John Doe and my email johndoe@vt.edu

In the first block

John Doe

In the next block

johndoe@vt.edu

For default storage directory, we need to tell git where we want our projects stored.

Click the following symbol ... and navigate to

My Documents\Visual Studio 2010\Projects

This is where we will be storing Visual Studio projects

This Ends Setting Up Git with GitHub for Windows

Importing Our Project into Visual Studio

Open up Visual Studio 2010 Express

Click on Open Project

Go to Your My Documents Folder -> Visual Studio 2010 -> Projects -> BusTracker1.0 Folder

Click on (either) BusTracker File and click Open

Done!

Actually Using Git

Make some changes to your code

Next, we want to add those changes into the "index"

git add .

Now "commit" and add a message

git commit -m "Fixed the Terrible Bug"

Now let's "push" it to our GitHub Repository

git push 

Done!
