How To Integrate Venus Basestation With Team GitLab

Question

The Venus team now uses TU/e GitLab for the shared project. Vipin previously developed the base-station UI project on GitHub. How should he move or connect his work without disturbing teammates’ modules?

Current Local Context

  • Vipin’s standalone GitHub repository exists locally at D:/Undergraduate_project_netherlands/Venus basestation.
  • Its current remote is https://github.com/appleweiping/venus-basestation.git.
  • Its current branch is main.
  • The team GitLab project shown in chat is Venus Team 28.
  • Visible GitLab branches:
    • main
    • communication-module
    • algorithm-navigation-module
    • embedded-software-module
  • The local GitHub basestation repository contains:
    • src/venus_basestation/
    • docs/message-format.md
    • examples/sample_messages.jsonl
    • tests/
    • tools/
  • Python dependency files and README

2026-05-16 Archive Update

  • EXTRACTED: The GitHub repository was reorganized as a public archive mirror that now includes both the Team 28 project context and Vipin’s UI module.
  • EXTRACTED: The original UI module now lives under user-interface-module/.
  • EXTRACTED: The Team 28 GitLab main snapshot now lives under team-project/, with source-focused module branch snapshots under team-project/module-branches/.
  • EXTRACTED: The UI module validation after migration passed with 28 tests.
  • INFERRED: For collaboration, GitLab remains the team source of truth; for portfolio/context, GitHub now shows the complete project shape.

Use the GitLab repository as the shared team repository and add Vipin’s base-station work on a dedicated GitLab branch, for example:

computer-software-ui-module

Do not overwrite teammates’ branches or merge unrelated team modules into the standalone GitHub repository.

Clean Repository Model

Recommended remotes:

  • origin = team GitLab repository
  • github = Vipin’s old GitHub repository, kept as a backup/reference

Recommended work pattern:

  1. Clone the team GitLab repository locally.
  2. Create a new branch from GitLab main.
  3. Add the basestation code under a clearly scoped folder, such as computer-software-ui/ or basestation/.
  4. Commit only that folder and necessary docs/config.
  5. Push the branch to GitLab.
  6. Open a merge request or ask teammates to review the branch.

Why This Is Safer

  • It preserves the team GitLab project as the source of truth.
  • It avoids rewriting or mixing unrelated teammate modules.
  • It lets Vipin own the computer-software/UI module cleanly.
  • It keeps GitHub as a backup without forcing the whole team to use it.
  • It matches the visible branch pattern where each module has its own branch.

Suggested Branch Name

Best option:

computer-software-ui-module

Other acceptable names:

basestation-ui-module
base-station-software
