I created a project using angular cli. Project is in directory dw-ng2-app and it has several files generated by angular cli. I want to create a Bitbucket repository for this. My confusion is, when I create a repository in Bitbucket, it gives me 3 options
I create a README and .gitignore file. I cannot use this option as
then when I try to sync the local project with repository, I get
error that there is no common history
I selected option of starting
from scratch. The web page listed the commands I should run to clone
and upload, eg git clone git#bitbucket.org:username/angularcli.git
but this creates a new directory on my local machine named
angularcli which has .git directory. I am not sure if I can use this
option as my project is in different directory and moving it to
angularcli directory might affect it (not sure)
3rd option is to
mention that I have an existing project. Then I am prompted to use
the command git remote add origin
ssh://git#bitbucket.org/username/angularcli.git but that doesn't
work as my current project directory is not a git repository
How can I move the angular cli project to bitbucket? Should I have created the repository first and then created angularcli project in the generated directory?
There are a couple of ways to do this, but the simplest may be to simply make your current project directory, a git repository.
Go to your project directory
cd dw-ng2-app
Initialize git repository
git init .
Add your current project to be tracked
git add --all
Make your initial commit
git commit -m "Initial commit for Angular project"
At that point, you can use the third, "existing project" option within BitBucket.
After you've created a new repo there, you can see its URL and use that to track your new repository with your local one
git remote add origin https://username#your.bitbucket.domain:7999/yourproject/repo.git
git push -u origin master
[Here's a complete writeup from BitBucket if you need.][1]
note - I used git add . originally in my example, and BitBucket recommends git add --all. Either of these will work fine in your case.
[1]: https://confluence.atlassian.com/bitbucketserver/importing-code-from-an-existing-project-776640909.html
If you've created project using angulat-cli then it automatically created project with git initialisation. It also commits initial changes locally.
So you just have to add remote origin and push the content.
-If repository is not initialise as git repository then:
cd dw-ng2-app
git add --all
git commit -m "commit message"
git push -u origin master
-If already initialise with git repository.
First of all go to directory dw-ng2-app : cd dw-ng2-app
add remote to your repository.
git remote add bitbucket https://username#your.bitbucket.domain/yourproject/repo.git
push the changes:
git push -u origin master
here's master is name of branch in which you want to push the content.
My question is very basic but still it is unclear for me. I am working on a rails project with multiple developers. All of them can pull or push the project. So let me explain my scenario. If I am making changes in my code for the first time and the other developers are also making changes, when I try to push the project I am able to do so. But the other developer face problem in pulling the project. After that If they are able to make changes and pull the project then I am unable to push the project or pull the project. This is how we push the project first:
git add .
git commit .
git pull origin master
but the error comes warning: Cannot merge binary files or I get the error git pull fails with “Untracked working tree file 'blah' would be overwritten by merge
The problem is coming because you and your friend doing changes on the same line of the file and git is unable to decide which one to take. So in this case its better to go for stash first to save your code.
The code will be:-
git stash :- To save your code
git pull :- To pull the code from git
git stash apply :- To merge your changes with the pulled files, if any merging error is coming then it will hit an error saying merge-conflict,you have to resolve that manually.
git add :- To add the files
git commit -m "Commit message" :- To commit it
git push :- To push to the repo.
I think this will solve your problem
git checkout accepts --ours or --theirs options for cases like this. So if you have a merge conflict, and you know you just want the file from the branch you are merging in, you can do:
$ git checkout --theirs -- path/to/conflicted-file.txt
to use that version of the file. Likewise, if you know you want your version (not the one being merged in) you can use
$ git checkout --ours -- path/to/conflicted-file.txt
ref:Resolving a Git conflict with binary files
In your case the file is 'blah' in the working directory of remote location. so u can keep one of them.
I would like to save my app in one of my unused repository in GIT. Instead of creating new repo and deleting old unused repo, i want to get knowledge about Git by use the unused repo for new project.
Ex:
old Proj repo name: app_old
new Proj repo name: app_new
Status of app_old:
Am deleted all files in app_old through command. Then check out the app, the downloading status gives 80 mb done. But, there is no files in downloaded folder.
Status of app_new:
Created a new iOS project without checking the “Create Git Repository” option. Then choose the option “Create Working Copy” in Source Control. Then add the remote of app_old in both Xcode Preferences and Configure in Source Control.
Please adjust my English!!!
There is not too much sense to reuse existing repository as you're going to delete it anyway.
However, in case of some constraint like reusing existing remote repo, there is a way to remove full history of git commits and start from scratch:
# create new branch named newProject
git checkout --orphan newProject
# do copy your new files here, set up project, set up .gitignore and things like that
...
# add all files to the project
git add -A
# commit the new branch
git commit
# delete the old master branch
git branch -D master
# rename current branch (newProject) to master
git branch -m master
# push back to origin
git push -f --set-upstream origin master
This way you'll get rid of old history and start from scratch with your new project.
As written in comments, you'll need to delete remote branches too if you got any.
OK, let's start from scratch. Create a new, empty directory and do:
git init .
git remote add origin <url of the existing repository>
git push origin :master
echo "Some text" > somefile.txt
git add .
git commit -m "Initial commit"
git push origin master -u
Note the colon in the third step. Also note that if you have any other directories pointing to the old repo, you will want to delete them and re-clone from the repo.
After checking How can I upload my project's Git repository to GitHub?, I still have no idea how to get a project uploaded to my GitHub repository.
I created a repository and want to upload my project to it.
I've looked on the repository page for an upload button of some kind, but I haven't seen anything of the sort.
I've looked at the links provided so far, but I'm still getting nowhere. They mention command line; is that Windows command line or Git Bash? Because I can't get either to do anything.
I also tried using the Git GUI, but when I select the folder I want it says that it's not a Git repository...does it need to be zipped up? I tried adding the .gitconfig file in the folder, but it doesn't make a difference.
GitHub released a native Windows client which makes all the below steps redundant.
You can also use Sourcetree to get both Git and Mercurial setup on Windows.
Here is how you would do it in Windows:
If you don't have Git installed, see this article on how to set it up.
Open up a Windows command prompt.
Change into the directory where your source code is located in the command prompt.
First, create a new repository in this directory git init. This will say "Initialized empty git repository in ....git" (... is the path).
Now you need to tell Git about your files by adding them to your repository. Do this with git add filename. If you want to add all your files, you can do git add .
Now that you have added your files and made your changes, you need to commit your changes so Git can track them. Type git commit -m "adding files". -m lets you add the commit message in line.
So far, the above steps is what you would do even if you were not using GitHub. They are the normal steps to start a Git repository. Remember that Git is distributed (decentralized), meaning you don't need to have a "central server" (or even a network connection), to use Git.
Now you want to push the changes to your Git repository hosted with GitHub. You do this by telling Git to add a remote location, and you do that with this command:
git remote add origin https://github.com/yourusername/your-repo-name.git
*Note: your-repo-name should be created in GitHub before you do a git remote add origin ...
Once you have done that, Git now knows about your remote repository. You can then tell it to push (which is "upload") your committed files:
git push -u origin master
Follow these steps to upload a project to GitHub:
git init
git add .
git commit -m "Add all my files"
git remote add origin https://github.com/yourusername/your-repo-name.git
Upload of project from scratch require git pull origin master.
git pull origin master
git push origin master
git push --force origin master
if you have problems uploading!
Here I explain how I did it on Windows.
Make sure to install Git and GitHub.
After installation is complete, open Git Bash.
So a window like below is going to pop up:
Go ahead and type cd ~ to make sure you are in the home directory. You can check the address that you are in it by typing pwd;
Now you need to create a GitHub account. After creating a GitHub account, go ahead and sign in.
After you signed in, on the top right click on the + and choose “New Repository”
Then in the opened window, type the name that you wish to have for the repository in the “Repository name” box. Add “Description (optional)” if you like, and mark “Initialize this repository with a README”. Then click on “Create repository”.
Now go to your C drive; create a new folder and name it “git”. Now go to the “Git Bash” window; change the directory to c drive by typing cd ~; cd /c.
If you type ls there it would show you the folders there. Make sure it shows the Git folder there:
Now go back to the browser; go to your GitHub page, click on the repository that you made, click on “Clone or download”, and copy the address that shows there (by choosing copy to clipboard).
Now going back to “Git Bash”. Use the command cd git to go to the git folder; now write the following commands to connect to your GitHub (enter the username and password of your GitHub when it asks you):
git config --global user.name "Your Name"
And then: git config --global user.email youremail#domain.com.
Next type: git clone (URL), instead of the (URL), type the address of the GitHub repository that you copied from your GitHub page; (e.g., git clone https://github.com/isalirezag/Test.git).
Now if you do ls command you will see your repository there. If you also open the Git folder that you have in your window you will see that your repository is added as a folder.
Now use the cd command to go to the repository: cd Test
Go ahead and copy and paste any files that you want to put in this repository in that folder.
In order to transfer the files to your repository you need to do following now:
Type git
add filename (filename is the file name that you want to upload) or you can type the command below if you want to add all the files in the folder:
git add .
Then type: git commit -m "adding files". And then: git push -u origin master .
And then you should be all set. If you refresh your GitHub account, the files should be there :)
Follow these steps to upload your project to GitHub:
git init
git add .
git commit -m "Add all my files"
git remote add origin https://github.com/yourusername/your-repo-name.git
Upload of the project from scratch requires git pull origin master.
git pull origin master
git push origin master
If any problem occurs in pushing, use git push --force origin master.
Follow these two steps:
Create the repository online using the link: https://github.com/new
Then link your local repo to the remote repo using the command: git add remote origin https://github.com/userName/repo.git
Here the repo.git will be your newly created remote repo.
This will work like a charm. No need to worry about the SSH or HTTPS ways. I first faced the same issue and spent hours for solution.
But this worked for me.
Easy-to-follow steps: git pull origin master or main will give a fatal error:
Couldn't find remote ref main
So below steps will work just fine.
git init
git add .
git commit -m "initial commit"
git remote add origin https://github.com/yourusername/your-repo-name.git
git branch -M main
git push -u origin main
This worked for me;
1- git init
2- git add .
3- git commit -m "Add all my files"
4- git remote add origin https://github.com/USER_NAME/FOLDER_NAME
5- git pull origin master --allow-unrelated-histories
6- git push origin master
Create a new repository on GitHub. To avoid errors, do not initialize
the new repository with README, license, or gitignore files. You can
add these files after your project has been pushed to GitHub. Open
Terminal (for Mac users) or the command prompt (for Windows and Linux
users).
Change the current working directory to your local project.
Initialize the local directory as a Git repository.
git init
#Add the files in your new local repository. This stages them for the first commit.
git add
# Adds the files in the local repository and stages them for commit. To unstage a file, use 'git reset HEAD YOUR-FILE'. Commit the files that you've staged in your local repository.
git commit -m 'First commit'
#Commits the tracked changes and prepares them to be pushed to a remote repository. To remove this commit and modify the file, use 'git reset --soft HEAD~1' and commit and add the file again.
At the top of your GitHub repository's Quick Setup page, click to copy the remote repository URL. At the top of your GitHub repository's Quick Setup
page, click to copy the remote repository URL.
In the Command prompt, add the URL for the remote repository where your local repository will be pushed.
$ git remote add origin remote repository URL
# Sets the new remote git remote -v
# Verifies the new remote URL Note: GitHub for Windows users should use the command git remote set-url origin instead of git remote add origin here. Push the changes in your local repository to GitHub.
$ git push origin master
# Pushes the changes in your local repository up to the remote repository you specified as the origin.

I assume you are on a Windows system like me and have Git installed. You can either run these commands by simple command prompt in the project directory or you can also use Git Bash.
Step 1:
Create a repository in Git manually. Give it whatever name you seem fit.
Step 2:
Come to your local project directory. If you want to publish your code to this new repository you just created, make sure that in the projects root directory there is no folder name .git. If there is, delete it.
Run command git init.
Step 3:
Run command
git add .
Step 4:
Run command
git commit -m YourCommitName
Step 5:
Run command
git remote add YourRepositoryName https://github.com/YourUserName/YourRepositoryName.git
Step 6:
Run Command
git push --set-upstream YourRepositoryName master --force
Please note that I am using the latest version of Git at the time of writing. Also note that I did not specify any particular branch to push the code into so it went to master. In step 6 the Git will ask you to authorize the command by asking you to enter username and password in a popup window.
Open Git Bash.
Change the current working directory to your local project.
Initialize the local directory as a Git repository: $ git init
Add the files in your new local repository. This stages them for the first commit: $ git add .
Commit the files that you've staged in your local repository: $ git commit -m "First commit"
At the top of your GitHub repository's Quick Setup page, click to copy the remote repository URL.
In the Command prompt, add the URL for the remote repository where your local repository will be pushed : $ git remote add origin remote repository URL
Push the changes in your local repository to GitHub: $ git push origin master
First you have to create an account on GitHub
Then create a new project - name that project as you want and then your project URL is shown
Now copy the URL
Then open a Command Prompt and go to the directory or folder which you want to upload using cmd
Then type the following commands
git init
git add .
git commit -m "initial commit"
git remote add origin PASTE URL
git push -u origin master
Now check your GitHub account. The repository is successfully uploaded.
For complete guidance, you can watch this video.
It took me like 1-2 hours to realize that I'm supposed to create the repository at GitHub before trying to push my local files to GitHub (or whatever, Git service you're using).
After trying to push, errors were like:
remote: Repository not found.
fatal: repository 'https://github.com/username/project.git/' not found
I feel like an idiot, but I really would like to emphasize this for beginners like me. I just thought that my repository will be created automatically during the first push. I was so wrong.
You can see your remotes with this command:
git remote -v
Steps to upload project to Git:
Step 1 - open cmd and change the current working directory to your project location.
Step 2 - Initialize your project directory as a Git repository.
git init
Step 3 - Add files in your local repository.
add .
Step 4 - Commit the files that you've staged in your local repository.
git commit -m "First commit"
Step 5 - Copy the remote repository URL.
Step 6 - Add the remote repository URL as origin in your local location.
git add origin copied_remote_repository_url
Step 7 - Confirm your origin is updated or not.
git remote show origin
Step 8 - Push the changed to your GitHub repository
git push origin master.
I think the easiest thing for you to do would be to install the Git plugin for Eclipse. It works more or less the same as the Eclipse CVS and SVN plugins.
Make sure that Git is installed on your system. I'm explaining the process using windows OS [Although it shouldn't be OS dependent job]
Here is how I did:
Open the cmd (you can do with git bash as well if you've installed git bash).
Go to your project directory (where your project is located, it's essentially changing to directory either usiing cd path or through manual folder navigation).
Now type git init. This will initialize an empty repository if it is first time and Enter.
For example: git init
Now type git add <filename>(if specific file) or git add <filename1> <filename2> <filenameN> (if specific but more than one files) or git add . (if you want to add all files) and enter.
Now type git commit -m "commit message goes here" and enter.
(in case if you need to check the status you can do by typing git status) and enter.
Now type git remote add origin git_repository_url
(check git remote -v go check remote repository) and Enter.
Now it's turn to push it to the remote repository [essentially taking all the changes from local git to cloud(github) ...git push origin master and enter
(if you get error you push it forcefully by typing ...git push -f origin master and enter.
NOTE : master is the name of your master branch. If you've multiple branches, make sure that you select the name of the branch accordingly.
Now you're done with adding it to your remote repository from local computer. Refresh it and it will be there in your created repository's selected branch.
Probably the most useful thing you could do is to peruse the online book Pro Git. It's really a pretty decent read and gives you the conceptual context with which to execute things properly.
Follow the instructions from RishiKesh Pathak. You can even short the push command by inserting this command line one time only:
git config --global push.default simple
So next time instead of using git push origin master you just need:
git push
See details here.
Download Sourcetree.
It is available for Windows 7 (and later) and Mac, and it is highly recommended to upload files on GitHub via the interactive UI.
The best way to use Git is to actually start Gitting. Try out this website which makes you go step by step on what are the essential ways for performing functions on command line for pushing a project on GitHub.
This is called try.github.io or you could also take up a course on Codecademy.
I did as follows;
git init
git add .
git commit -m "Your_message"
git remote add origin #your_git_repository
git push -u origin master
Of course you have to install Git.
We need Git Bash
In the Git Bash Command Section:
ls
It will show your default location.
CD "C:\Users\user\Desktop\HTML"
We need to assign the project path.
git init
It will initialize the empty Git repository in C:\Users\user\Desktop\HTML
ls
It will list all file names.
git remote add origin https://github.com/repository/test.git
It is your https://github.com/repository/test.git is your repository path
git remote -v
To check whether we have fetch or push permission or not
git add .
If you use . then it means whatever we have in the particular folder publish all.
git commit -m "First time"
git push -u origin master
Upload a project from Visual Studio Code to GitHub
To upload your project in GitHub using Visual Studio Code, follow the following steps.
Open the Visual Studio Code. if you don't have the VSCode download: Download Visual Studio Code
In VSCode go to File-->Open Folder..
Go to Terminal-->New Terminal
Execute the following commands one by one after one another in order
git init
git add .
git commit -m "First Commit"
git remote add origin https://github.com/yourusername/your-repo-name.git
git push origin master
Note: in the above command git remote add origin https://github.com/yourusername/your-repo-name.git please change the bold sections with your GitHub account name and your repository name.
You need an SSH connection and GitHub init into your project. I will explain under Linux machine.
Let's start with some easy stuff: navigate into your project in the terminal, and use:
git init
git add .
git commit
Now let's add SSH into your machine:
use
ssh-keygen -t rsa -C "your_email#example.com"
Copy the public key, and then add it to your GitHub repository:
Deploy keys -> add one
Back to your machine project, now launch:
git push origin master
if there is an error, configure your .github/config file by
nano .github/config
And change the URL to the SSH one by:
url = git#github.com:username/repo....
And that's it.
Try using Git Bash to push your code/make changes instead of uploading files directly on GitHub (it is less prone to errors and is quite comfortable at times - takes less time as well!). For doing so, you may follow the below given steps:
Download and install the latest version of Git Bash from here.
Right-click on any desired location on your system.
Click “Git Bash Here”.
git config --global user.name “your name”
git config --global user.email “your email”
Go back to your GitHub account – open your project – click on “clone” – copy HTTPS link.
git clone PASTE HTTPS LINK.
A clone of your GitHub project will be created on your computer location.
Open the folder and paste your content.
Make sure content is not empty.
Right-click inside the cloned folder where you have pasted your content.
Click “Git Bash Here” again.
You will find (master) appearing after your location address.
git add .
Try git status to check if all your changes are marked in green.
git commit --m “Some message”
git push origin master
You just need to know few command im cmd to push or pull any directory to/from github.
Command to push/upload any project or code to the git hub.
First reach to the working directory or project directory which you need to upload.
to check the correct working directory
ls
to initialize the git in the directory
git init
to the check that git init worked or not
ls -a //this command shows hidden files
Using above command you will find file added in you directory.
./ ../ .git/
the above is not a command you can skip it.
Now add the files of working directory to commit
git add .
then use commit command and name that commit for reference
git commit -m "Commit Name"
Before final step you need to go to the github website and create a new repository and copy the url of the repository
git remote add main https://github.com/username/repositoryName.git
now command to upload the directory
git push -u main
Note: the name "main" is the name that can be change as per user
For uploading a new project into Git (first you need to have the local code base of the project and the Git repository where you will be uploading project. In Git, you need to have your credentials).
List item
Open Git Bash
Go to the directory where you have the code base (project location)
cd to project location
cd ////**
Then here you need to execute Git commands.
git init
Press Enter then you will see something like this below.
The initialized empty Git repository in ://****/***/.git/, so git init will initialize the empty Git repository at local
git add .
Press Enter
The above command will add all the directories, subdirectories, files, etc.
You will see something like this:
warning: LF will be replaced by CRLF in **************.
The file will have its original line endings in your working directory.
git commit -m "first commit"
Press Enter. -m provided option for adding comment.
It will commit the code to the stage environment.
You will see some thing like this:
[master (root-commit) 34a28f6] adding ********
warning: LF will be replaced by CRLF in c*******.
The file will have its original line endings in your working directory.
27 files changed, 3724 insertions(+)
create mode 100644 *****
create mode 100644 *****
create mode 100644 *****
git remote add origin
http://username#git:repopath.git
Press Enter. This will add to the repository.
git push -u origin master
Press Enter.
This will upload all from local to repository in this step you need to enter password for the repository where you will be uploading the code.
You will see some thing like this below:
Counting objects: 33, done.

I am an almost perfect beginner at Github so please humor me with this elementary question.
I have a laptop PC that I've been using to interact with a repo on Github. I just bought a Mac and I would like to do my programming on both machines.
I have installed Git on the new machine and I have set up my username, e-mail, and Github token on the Terminal.
What are the basic commands I need to do this:
Download the repo from Github the first time? I've created a new folder on my Mac but going there and typing git pull git#github.com/sscirrus/repo.git produces fatal: not a repository (or any of the parent directories): .git.
Upload those changes again such that the main repo is updating cleanly with each new push. I assume that once I have the code in my new folder, it would be a matter of git add . and git push with password entry?
I am reading through tutorials on Git but just want to make sure I'm doing something sensible for my situation before my newbieness screws up a lot of prior work. Thank you!
Go through this book, http://progit.org/book/ and http://gitcasts.com/ for video tutorial.
And I recommend you follow these steps
Clone the repository (git clone repoAddress)
create a new branch (git branch branchName)
checkout that branch (git checkout branchName)
make changes and commit in that branch (git add files)
checkout master (git checkout master)
perform a pull (it updates the local repository with the remote one) git pull
If there is change, checkout the branch and rebase it with local master
If there is conflict resolve it and add that file and make a commit again
checkout master again and merge the branch (git merge branch)
push the commits to the remote repository.(git push)
If you want a GUI tool, then there is GitX which is made for Mac OS X. http://gitx.frim.nl/
Download the git repo for first time - do a clone of the repo first. this will bring your code from github to your machine for the first time.
git clone your_git_repo_url
from second time, you can
git pull your_git_repo_url
Upload the changes after commits
git push your_git_repo_url
Please read scott chacons git books. these will get you the basics of git. and learning this will help in the long run.
You need to use git clone, not git pull.
You'll want to git commit after add and before push. add just adds something to the index (Worst name ever. The "index" is essentially a pending commit.) and commit actually commits it to your repository. push then pushes committed stuff from your local repository to a remote repository.
Whilst there's a lot to be said for using git from the command line (to help understanding) you might like to try the github clients (for mac & windows - download them from the github homepage - at the bottom in the section marked 'clients') which I'm guessing might not have been available when you posted your question.
The Windows one lets you specify a default storage directory (where it clones the repos into) - the Mac one prompts you with each clone as to where you want to stick it.
Both very easy to use to do what you want (clone, pull, push etc and also good for seeing what branches you have and changing between them)
