I have an existing Xcode project downloaded from Apple Developer web site and it was not under source control. So I first add it to local Git by running "git init". Then I open the project and try to add it to my GitHub repository. After clicking "Create XXXX remote", the dialog shows "Loading account owners..." and it never ends. Anyone knows how to resolve it?
Xcode showing Loading account owners and never end
You must setup your repo account first in Xcode. Go to Xcode->Preferences->Accounts. Click the plus at the bottom of the left pane and select the appropriate account to add (i.e. GitHub). Enter your credentials and they will be verified. Return to the remote repo flow and your account will now display in the Accounts drop-down.

I am choosing Xcode, Preferences, '+', Gitlab Account. Then I have tried lots of combinations of the Account and Token. In the Token filed I am entering the token I have generated (should it be named after the project I am going to connect?). In the Account field, I have tried to enter the mail connected with the Gitlab account, Gitlab username. However, nothing works. Please, can you help me?
From the Source Control navigator add the remote url of your project in GitLab.
This would setup Xcode to identify where to push the commits to.
Instead of adding the User Profile through Preferences (did not work for me), just go to Source Control -> Commit, and commit locally, and then Source Control -> Push to push to your repository. At this point, Xcode will ask for your username and password, just enter your credentials there and it would work like a charm from there.
I still do not have an answer to why I was not able to add the credentials via Preferences, but this works too.
Select Open in Xcode
There might be an issue to add a GitLab account on Xcode. (also Xcode supports only RSA encryption and not the ed25519 as suggested by GitLab).
Until this is fixed here is a workaround I am using!
On the GitLab repository page you can select Open in Xcode and the website will ask where to save the project, and then open it in Xcode for you.
After making changes I would commit and push with the command line.
Make sure that your Git username and email match your GitLab.com account for this repository, and an SSH public key was added to your GitLab.com account.
PS. I noticed that this option appear only if GitLab can recognise the repo as an Xcode project. For this to happen, the project and the xcodeproj file should should be in a root folder.
I created two repositories through the Github website about a couple of hours ago. Then I went to the Github Desktop App, and made many commits to each of those two repositories. The process I had followed was:
Create repository on Github website
Go to Github Desktop App, and hit "clone" for the selected repository
The repository was cloned to a "Github" folder in "Documents"
Then I copied over my code files to each of the repository folders (through Windows explorer)
In the Github Desktop App, I automatically got the "x uncommited changes" for the number of files I had copied over.
I added a message in the "summary" and "description" section, and clicked on the "Commit" button at the end, and a blue check mark appeared.
However, now that I'm on another (ubuntu) computer and wanted to clone the 2 repositories on this, it appears that none of my commits were ever pushed to Github. The Github website also just shows the 2 repositores I had created at the very beginning, intialized with a readme.md. There's nothing else.
What went wrong?
Create repository on Github website
Go to Github Desktop App, and hit "clone" for the selected repository
You should copy all your files to cloned repository.
Click to view all uncommited changes.
You have to write the summary and description and hit the button 'commit to "your branch name"'.
And as a final step, you should push 'Sync button' at the upper right corner.
Every time I open a certain project in Xcode which is under git version control, Xcode adds another repository to the organiser with the name of my user account, located in my user directory.
When trying to commit changes using Xcode, this repository shows up and shows changes from all the Xcode projects I have in my user directory. If I remove the repository from the organiser, I cannot commit any changes or pull from the remote git repository (nothing happens when these menu options are selected). However if I quit Xcode and open the project again, the repository is back.
Would appreciate it if anyone has any idea what's going on here.
I keep getting an error when I try to commit my project files using Xcode.
File -> Source Control -> Commit
"The operation could not be performed because no valid working copies were found."
"Please verify that your files are under source control and try again."
This is an existing project that is NOT under source control. How do I get my project files under source control, using Xcode?
EDIT: Answered my own question.
Step 1) Restart Xcode
Step 2) Choose connect to repo
Step 3) Enter repo address
Step 4) Choose existing project folder you wish to place under version control
Step 5) Voila! :)
Since a lot of folks land here when they google "Add existing project to BitBucket using Xcode" and then click through to the link that goes to my blog post on the subject, I thought I would put the information here (in the spirit of SO which discourages link only answers.)
NOTE: These instructions assume you have already made a local git repository for the project. You may have done this at project creation. If not, you will need to create the local git now. See this StackOverflow post for how to do that: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/19495141/add-local-repo-for-existing-xcode-5-project
For Xcode 9 and the new Beta UI for Bitbucket:
Log into your BitBucket Account on their web site.
Click the Create button (plus sign + in the newest version of the web UI). And click Repository.
Give your new repository a name. Additional features for the repo can be configured under the Advanced menu. Make sure the check mark for Private is on if you desire that. Verify that the repository type is Git. If desired, add issue tracking, and a Wiki. Select Objective C or Swift from the language drop down. Then Create Repository.
Next, you will want to add your code. On the top of the Overview page is a field with the HTTPS URL of your project. It will look something like this: https://johndoe#bitbucket.org/xyzteam/xyzapp.git. Highlight and copy that URL text.
Run Xcode and load your project.
From the left pane in Xcode, select the Source Control Navigator. Expand the project node. Right click the Remotes node under your project. Select “Add Existing Remote…”
Give it a remote name, such as Bitbucket. Paste the URL from step 4 into the Location. Click Add. It should now appear as a Remote location in the Source Control navigator.
Once your remote has been added, you should now be able to push to the remote. Select Source Control/Push… It should show your Bitbucket remote as the destination and will show (Create) as this is the first push. Click Push.
If this is the first time you are pushing this project to BitBucket, you will be asked for login credentials. The User Name will be prefilled from the URL, so enter the password. Click Okay and after some seconds, it should complete.
If all goes well, you now have the repositories linked up. Go to the BitBucket site, select your repo and you should see the code.
For Xcode older than version 9 and the old Bitbucket UI:
Log into your BitBucket Account on their web site.
Click the Create button.
Give your new repository a name, a description, and make sure the check mark for Private is on if you desire that. Verify that the repository type is Git. If desired, add issue tracking, and a Wiki. Select Objective C or Swift from the language drop down. Then Create it.
Next, you will want to add your code. I am assuming you have an existing project. On the page, you will select “I have an existing project” link from the Command line section.
You will see instructions for linking your local git repository to the remote. There is no need to follow those instructions. However, you will see an https url listed. It will look something like this: https://johndoe#bitbucket.org/xyzteam/xyzapp.git. Highlight and copy that URL text.
Run Xcode and load your project.
From the main menu, select Source Control. Under the gray “Working Copy” item, you will see a menu with your local git repo name and the currently active branch. Expand this menu and you will see an option to Configure [Your project]…. Select this.
Select the Remotes pane from this screen. At the bottom, click the plus +. Select Add Remote…
Now you need a name and a URL. For the name, typically just use your project name, then paste the URL copied earlier in step 5. Some people have found that they must remove the user name portion of the URL. Per the example, remove “johndoe#”. This may have to do with whether your project is set up as a team project, or an individual project.
Click Add Remote. Click Done.
Once your remote has been added, you should now be able to push to the remote. Select Source Control/Push…. If this is the first time you are pushing this project to BitBucket, you may be asked about keychain access and/or login credentials. Enter the appropriate responses, such as Allow for keychain. If you have already done this before, it will simply use the keychain data without further prompting.
If all goes well, you now have the repositories linked up. Go to the BitBucket site, select your repo and you should see the code.
If you want to see a version of this information with screen shots, see my blog post.
Login your bit bucket account and Create a repository in your account
open terminal run these following command
1- cd /path/to/your/repo
2- git remote add origin <url of your repository >
3- git push -f origin master
it works for me, Thanks.
I am a new user to the subversion tool, I was trying to access revision changes from xcode 4.3 in the SVN repository. The path to the SVN was given correctly and also authentication details in the "username" and "password" sections of the top row in "Repositories" section in "Organizer" window. But after I select an application from repository and click "view changes" in the down window of the xcode organizer, the xcode immediately crashes. I have given a correct username and password of SCM to connect. I would be glad to know what could be the possible problems.
