Migrating Source Code to a Google Cloud Source Repository
Working with code is an everyday reality for cloud application developers, and Google Cloud provides a service that makes it easy to access your code for Google Cloud projects: Source Repositories. This hands-on lab is divided into two parts. In the first part of the lab, you’ll create a new Source Repository and populate it with example code using the `git` command. Once you have pushed the code to the repo, you’ll use the Source Repository interface to inspect the files. In the second part of the lab, you’ll set up another Source Repository to mirror your own existing GitHub repository. Please note it is a prerequisite for this part of the lab to have your own GitHub account and at least one repository.
