Tutorial
Go to https://github.com/slaclab/devPanel
Click "Fork" in the upper right
...
corner
Click the link that says [Your User Name]/devPanel (Mine says that I've already forked it, but yours should ask you where you want to fork it)
Click the green "Clone or Download" button and copy the ssh path. If you see what looks like a URL, click the blue "Use SSH" link right above it
Back on an OPI (or ssh'ed in), type "set_profile [Your Username]". This should take you to your personal physics directory. Make a new devPanel subdirectory
In that subdirectory, run "git init"
Still in that subdirectory, type "~/mgibbs/link_repo_to_github/link_repo_to_github.sh -i" and follow the prompts (if you don't feel like thinking about the AFS repo, you can use this default, but you should paste in the GitHub ssh link you got in Step 4 for your fork or you'll connect to mine! You'll get slightly different messages since I've already run this before)
Type "git pull origin master" and type in your password when prompted (again, messages will be slightly different since I've done this before)
Type "source use_pydm.sh"
Type "mkdir [Your Name]" and head into that directory
Type "designer &"
Sometimes you get an error saying something about backup files. Ignore it(: In the program that opens, click "Widget" and then "Create"
In the Widget box on the left, scroll all the way down and drag a drop a PyDMShellCommand somewhere in the widget that popped up in the last step
Right click anywhere in the widget that isn't the tiny shell command button, hover over "layout" at the bottom, and click "lay out in a grid"
In the Object Inspector in the top right, rename that button something more descriptive by double clicking it, typing the new name, and pressing
...
enter
Right click the button itself and click "Change text..."
Rename it something more descriptive and press
...
enter
In the property/value table in the middle right, scroll all the way down to "commands," double click the value box (it'll be blank at first, and then it'll be a button that says "Change String List"), Click "New", type "pydm ~/opsTools/devPanel/example/example.py", then click "OK". This will launch the production example panel!
Save this file as devPanel[Your Name].ui
From here, open opsDevPanel.ui from the parent directory (~/[your username]/devPanel)
Drag and drop a PyDMRelatedDisplayButton onto the newly opened devPanel.
...
ui
Right click rename the button itself and its object name like before
Add the path to your personal dev panel in your subdirectory and
...
save
Back in your terminal in the devPanel directory, run "pydm opsDevPanel.ui" and you should see your creation! Feel free to play with it until it looks good to you!
Run "git status" to see what's changed. It should be opsDevPanel.ui and a new folder with your name
Run "git add [YOUR NEW FOLDER]" and "git add opsDevPanel.ui", then run another git status. They should both be staged for commit
run git commit -m "adding [YOUR NAME]'s dev panel"
Run "git push origin master" and log in when
...
prompted
Back on your fork on GitHub, click "New Pull Request"
Click "Create Pull Request"
Add slaclab/ops as a reviewer (by clicking on the gear and then searching), and then click "Create pull request"
An admin will look at it to make sure that nothing important got deleted, and if they approve it, they'll merge it into production!
