Using git and github

I hate GIT

• fetch - Downloads from a remote repository and updates the remote tracking branches.
• merge - Join two or more development histories together
• pull - Download the changes and merges them into working code
• push - Update remote refs along with associated objects
• commit - Record changes to the repository
• checkout - Switch branches or restore working tree files
• clone - Clone a repository into a new directory

Create a new local Git repository

• Make a new local directory and change to it

  mkdir hello-world
  cd hello-world

• Initialize a new local Git repository

  git init

• Add files to Git repository

• Add files to repository and make initial commit to the local repository

  git add .
  git commit -m "Initial commit"

• Create a local repository

• Create a new GitHub repository
  • Navigate to github.com
  • Press the plus symbol in the top right corner
  • Select ‘New repository‘ option
    • Do NOT add README or .gitignore files!

• Push files to the GitHub repository
  • Note that “origin” can be any name
  • Use “git@github.com:” for SSH access with key file (.ppk file created with Putty)
  • Use “https://github.com/” or https access with github username/password

  git remote add origin <git@github.com:/><git-username>/<git-repo-name>.git
  git branch -M master
  git push -u origin master

or

  git remote add origin <https://github.com/><git-username>/<git-repo-name>.git
  git branch -M master
  git push -u origin master
  
  

• Create a new GitHub repository
  • Navigate to github.com
  • Press the plus symbol in the top right corner
  • Select ‘New repository‘ option

• Clone github repository to local repository

  git clone

• Add files to local repository

  git add

• Push files to the GitHub repository

  git push
  

Start daily development with a “pull”. Then “commit” as necessary.

When ready to update master repository do a “push”.

Sync Dialog - Provides an interface for all operations related with remote repositories in one dialog including push, pull, fetch, remote update…

Use PuTTY key generator to make public/private pair On server (i.e. github.com) make sure public key is uploaded

Settings | Git

  Set "local" credentials for a project

Settings | Git | Remote

  Make sure URL is github "SSH" clone
  Put in path to private key that matches public key above

Linux

Make public/private pair

ssh-keygen -t rsa -b 4096 -C "*******@baggerman.org"
  password = **********

Add your SSH private key

ssh-add ~/.ssh/*********
