<h2><span class="header-section-number">3.1</span> Cannot see a repository?</h2>
<p>So often, you try to visit a repository, and find something like below:</p>

<p class="caption">404 page</p>

<p>The solutions are:</p>
<ol style="list-style-type: decimal">
<li>Sign in to Gin</li>
<li>Check that the repository exists</li>
<li>Make sure you have access to the repository</li>
</ol>
<div id="sign-in-to-gin" class="section level3">
<h3><span class="header-section-number">3.1.1</span> Sign in to Gin</h3>
<p>It happens when you are not signed in to Gin.</p>
<p>Click on the “Sign in” button at the top-right corner of the page:</p>

<p>(If you have not yet got registered to Gin, then do it first from the “Register” button on the right.</p>
</div>
<div id="check-that-the-repository-exists" class="section level3">
<h3><span class="header-section-number">3.1.2</span> Check that the repository exists</h3>
<p>If the situation persists, go visit your <a href="https://gin.g-node.org/larkumlab/Dealing_with_Gin/raw/book/web-interface/Dashboard.md">dashboard</a>,
and find the name of the repository from the list.
If you click on it, the repository page should show up.</p>
</div>
<div id="make-sure-you-have-access-to-the-repository" class="section level3">
<h3><span class="header-section-number">3.1.3</span> Make sure you have access to the repository</h3>
<p>If you don’t find the repository in your dashboard, then
it is possible that you don’t have access to the repository at all.</p>
<p>Ask somebody who has access rights to the repository <a href="collaboration.md">for adding you as a Collaborator</a>.</p>

</div>
</div>
<div id="dashboard-how-to-use" class="section level2">
<h2><span class="header-section-number">3.2</span> Dashboard: how to use</h2>
<p>When you simply sign in to Gin, without selecting any specific repository,
you fill find a page like below (note that this is just an example):</p>
<div class="figure">
<img src="https://gin.g-node.org/larkumlab/Dealing_with_Gin/raw/book/web-interface/images/dashboard.png" alt="Dashboard overview" />
<p class="caption">Dashboard overview</p>
</div>
<p>This is called the “dashboard”, and here you can see most of your activity on Gin.</p>
<p>The dashboard may be divided into several areas:</p>
<ol style="list-style-type: decimal">
<li><a href="web-interface.html#activity"><strong>Activity</strong></a> area: shows what you did with your repositories</li>
<li><a href="web-interface.html#collaborative-repositories"><strong>Collaborative repository</strong></a> area: lists up the shared repositories you have access to</li>
<li><a href="web-interface.html#private-repositories"><strong>Private repository</strong></a> area: lists up your <em>own</em> repositories</li>

<p class="caption">Activity area</p>
</div>
<p>This shows your recent activity on Gin, e.g.</p>
<ul>
<li>your recent commits to your repositories</li>
<li>issues and comments reported to your repositories</li>
</ul>
</div>
<div id="collaborative-repositories" class="section level3">

<p class="caption">Collaborative repository area</p>
</div>
<p>This area lists up the repositories <strong>owned by others</strong> and those you have access to.</p>
<p>Normally, most of your repositories will show up here, as they are owned and managed by <span class="citation">@larkumlab</span>.</p>
</div>

<p>This area lists up the repositories owned by yourself.</p>
<p>In many cases, these are visible only to you unless you add a <a href="collaboration.md">Collaborator</a> to one of them.</p>

</div>
</div>
<div id="browsing-a-repository" class="section level2">
<h2><span class="header-section-number">3.3</span> Browsing a repository</h2>
<p>If you visit the repository page, it looks like below:</p>

<li><a href="web-interface.html#browsing-files">file contents</a></li>
</ol>
<div id="overview-of-the-repository" class="section level3">
<h3><span class="header-section-number">3.3.1</span> Overview of the repository</h3>
<p>On top of the page, you will find the header consisting of <code>&lt;owner name&gt;/&lt;repository name&gt;</code>:</p>
<div class="figure">
<img src="https://gin.g-node.org/larkumlab/Dealing_with_Gin/raw/book/web-interface/images/repository-title.png" alt="Repository name" />
<p class="caption">Repository name</p>
</div>
<p>This represents the <em>identifier</em> of the repository so that
you can specify a single repository inside <code>https://gin.g-node.org</code>.</p>
<p>Down to the bottom, you may find some document:</p>
<div class="figure">
<img src="https://gin.g-node.org/larkumlab/Dealing_with_Gin/raw/book/web-interface/images/readme.png" alt="README file" />
<p class="caption">README file</p>
</div>
<p>This represents the (hopefully) detailed description of the repository about what it is
or what it contains.</p>
<blockquote>
<p>In fact, this description comes from the <code>README.md</code> file in the root directory of the repository.
The name of the file comes from a tradition of programmers community to contain the “read-me-first”
file in the top directory of any code.</p>
<p>You can add or edit it by adding / editing the <code>README.md</code> file.</p>
<p>Even inside the sub-directories of the repositories, the description will automatically show up
if you add and edit a <code>README.md</code> file in it.</p>
</blockquote>
</div>
<div id="browsing-files" class="section level3">
<h3><span class="header-section-number">3.3.2</span> Browsing files</h3>
<p>In the middle, you can find a list of files and directories in the repository:</p>
<div class="figure">
<img src="https://gin.g-node.org/larkumlab/Dealing_with_Gin/raw/book/web-interface/images/files.png" alt="File list" />
<p class="caption">File list</p>
</div>
<p>By clicking on individual file/directory entry, you can browse its contents.</p>
<p>For example, you can see the contents of a sub-directory by clicking on it:</p>
<div class="figure">
<img src="https://gin.g-node.org/larkumlab/Dealing_with_Gin/raw/book/web-interface/images/directory-view.png" alt="Directory view" />
<p class="caption">Directory view</p>
</div>
<p>Contents of normal files may be visible, as long as your browser supports it.</p>
<ul>
<li><p>For example, you can browse to <a href="images/dashboard.png">web-interface/images/dashboard.png</a>,
and you can have a glimpse of the original image file:
<img src="https://gin.g-node.org/larkumlab/Dealing_with_Gin/raw/book/web-interface/images/image-view.png" alt="Image-file view" /></p></li>
<li><p>If you write the documents in the <a href="https://www.markdownguide.org/getting-started">Markdown</a> format
(and I recommend to do so whenever possible), you can see the formatted-view of the document:
<img src="https://gin.g-node.org/larkumlab/Dealing_with_Gin/raw/book/web-interface/images/markdown-view.png" alt="Markdown view" /></p></li>
<li>Other text-based files (CSV, TSV etc.) may be seen in its raw format.</li>
<li><p>Binary files (Excel, Word, Spike2 etc.) will not be visible, so you must <a href="downloading.md">download it</a> to see the contents.</p></li>
</ul>
<div id="a-small-side-note" class="section level4">
<h4><span class="header-section-number">3.3.2.1</span> A small side note</h4>
<p>On the left columns of the files list, you can see some information like below:</p>
<div class="figure">

<p class="caption">Commit description</p>
</div>
<p>Sadly <strong>it is <em>not</em> about the description to the file itself</strong> but describes the commit
that updated this file most recently.</p>
<p>In the case of the image above, the directory “web-interface” was updated by the commit
with the commit ID being <code>b42b7633f7</code>, and with the commit message <code>update dashboard.md</code>.</p>

</div>
</div>
</div>
<div id="downloading-files" class="section level2">
<h2><span class="header-section-number">3.4</span> Downloading files</h2>
<p>Although the files may be browsable on the web interface, you might want to interact with them on your desktop, using one of your favorite programs.</p>
<p>It is possible to download files individually from the web interface.</p>
<blockquote>
<p>Note that this “individual download” feature differs from what Git-people call “cloning of the repository”. Git-clone involves downloading of the whole repository, whereas this individual download concerns only with the current single file.</p>
</blockquote>
<div id="download-button" class="section level3">
<h3><span class="header-section-number">3.4.1</span> Download button</h3>
<p>When you open a single file, you will see buttons on the top-right of the file:</p>
<div class="figure">
<img src="https://gin.g-node.org/larkumlab/Dealing_with_Gin/raw/book/web-interface/images/file-actions.png" alt="Location of buttons" />
<p class="caption">Location of buttons</p>
</div>
<p>These buttons represent the actions that you can execute on this specific file, including:</p>
<ul>
<li>Obtaining the link to this specific version of the file (<strong>Permalink</strong>)</li>
<li>Browsing different versions of this file (<strong>History</strong>)</li>
<li>Downloading the file (<strong>Download</strong>)</li>
<li>Editing the file (<strong>the pencil symbol</strong>; it may not be available in the case of read-only repositories, or Gin does not have a way to edit the file e.g. PDF)</li>
<li>Deleting the file from the repository (<strong>the trash-can simbol</strong>; may not be available)</li>
</ul>
<p>For downloading the file, click on the “download” button:</p>
<div class="figure">
<img src="https://gin.g-node.org/larkumlab/Dealing_with_Gin/raw/book/web-interface/images/download-button.png" alt="Download button" />
<p class="caption">Download button</p>

</div>
<p>You can add the files to be uploaded by either:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Clicking on the area</strong>: the file chooser dialog will appear so that you can select files from it.</li>
<li><strong>Drag and drop</strong> individual files or a directory containing a set of files. In the latter case, you can upload the whole directory structure easily.</li>
</ul>
<p>In either case, the upload process will start immediately, and you will see the progress on the area:</p>

<p class="caption">Progress of upload</p>
</div>
<p>You can specify the directory to be uploaded from the <a href="target-directory.md">directory selector</a>.</p>
<p>After completion of the upload processes for all files, you can proceed to finish the <a href="commit-options.md">commit process</a>.</p>
<blockquote>
<p>Note, by using this upload view, you can only upload 100 files at once, with each file being less than 10 GB in size. If you want to upload more files at once, or upload larger files, you will have to use the command-line interface or WinGIN.</p>

<p>When the web interface shows a list of files in a repository, you can see blue buttons in the middle, above the file list.</p>
<blockquote>
<p>Note that, if you don’t have the “write” permission to the repository, these buttons will not appear. If you still want to create or upload files, contact the person responsible for the repository to <a href="../collaboration.md">add you as a Collaborator</a>.</p>
