Git - Onpne Repositories
GitHub is a web-based hosting service for software development projects that uses the Git revision control system. It also has their standard GUI apppcation available for download (Windows, Mac, GNU/ Linux) directly from the service s website. But in this session, we will see only CLI part.
Create GitHub Repository
Go to
. If you already have the GitHub account, then login using that account or create a new one. Follow the steps from website to create a new repository.Push Operation
Tom decides to use the GitHub server. To start a new project, he creates a new directory and one file inside that.
[tom@CentOS]$ mkdir github_repo [tom@CentOS]$ cd github_repo/ [tom@CentOS]$ vi hello.c [tom@CentOS]$ make hello cc hello.c -o hello [tom@CentOS]$ ./hello
The above command will produce the following result:
Hello, World !!!
After verifying his code, he initiapzes the directory with the git init command and commits his changes locally.
[tom@CentOS]$ git init Initiapzed empty Git repository in /home/tom/github_repo/.git/ [tom@CentOS]$ git status -s ?? hello ?? hello.c [tom@CentOS]$ git add hello.c [tom@CentOS]$ git status -s A hello.c ?? hello [tom@CentOS]$ git commit -m Initial commit
After that, he adds the GitHub repository URL as a remote origin and pushes his changes to the remote repository.
[tom@CentOS]$ git remote add origin https://github.com/kangralkar/testing_repo.git [tom@CentOS]$ git push -u origin master
Push operation will ask for GitHub user name and password. After successful authentication, the operation will succeed.
The above command will produce the following result:
Username for https://github.com : kangralkar Password for https://kangralkar@github.com : Counting objects: 3, done. Writing objects: 100% (3/3), 214 bytes, done. Total 3 (delta 0), reused 0 (delta 0) To https://github.com/kangralkar/test_repo.git * [new branch] master −> master Branch master set up to track remote branch master from origin.
From now, Tom can push any changes to the GitHub repository. He can use all the commands discussed in this chapter with the GitHub repository.
Pull Operation
Tom successfully pushed all his changes to the GitHub repository. Now, other developers can view these changes by performing clone operation or updating their local repository.
Jerry creates a new directory in his home directory and clones the GitHub repository by using the git clone command.
[jerry@CentOS]$ pwd /home/jerry [jerry@CentOS]$ mkdir jerry_repo [jerry@CentOS]$ git clone https://github.com/kangralkar/test_repo.git
The above command produces the following result:
Cloning into test_repo ... remote: Counting objects: 3, done. remote: Total 3 (delta 0), reused 3 (delta 0) Unpacking objects: 100% (3/3), done.
He verifies the directory contents by executing the ls command.
[jerry@CentOS]$ ls test_repo [jerry@CentOS]$ ls test_repo/ hello.cAdvertisements
