I have laravel-vue.js framework web site project that another developer coded on digitalocean.
Also there is a git file in the framework.
I want to use git, too. However, there is another git ssh link in project.
git#gitlab.com:user/projectname.git
I created a gitlab repo but i couldn't decide what to do next.
git#gitlab.com:myuser/projectname2.git
How can i get this project to my local and do changes on git.
Generally i use phpstorm for coding.
Thanks.
You need to change your git origin url in your repository.
Use git remote set-url origin new.git.url/here to replace old git URL with the new one.

I need to push my modified new java code to my old git repository in github but I do not have old code in my pc. How to do that?
I had push a code before my github account before. Now I don't have that old code in my pc. How do I pull the project into my pc and after making changes, push again to the same repository?
I do not have much experience in github, so please help me to improve skills on github.
Check your remote first to see where it is pointing to by
$ git remote -v
origin ssh://git#<old-git-url>/<project>.git (fetch)
origin ssh://git#g<old-git-url>/<project>.git (push)
Change the pointing to GitHub
$ git remote set-url origin ssh://git#<github-url>/<project>.git
Now your repo is pointing to Github
Now you can make your changes and then add them and do a commit and finally push to remote branch; say you are on master.
git add <file>
git commit -m <commit message>
git push origin master
I had to do just that and achieved it like this.
Setup. I assume you have a new remote repository with files that may not cause a conflict with the directory you currently have locally.
Git clone from the git repository you need to push to. Just make sure you create a new directory for the cloned code.
Copy the contents of the cloned repository into the local directory that has your current code. Make sure to copy the .git (hidden) file.
cd into your local directory and run git remote -v. You should see the remote repository git address.
git add -A to add whatever change you require and commit it.
Finally git push
You need to make sure that your local repository (the one that is on your computer) is connected to the remote repository (the one that is on the GitHub servers).
After this, you need to add the modified file to the staging area. Say, you have a file test.txt that you have modified, you would add it to the staging area by typing
git add test.txt
After that you would need to commit those changes. You can do that by
git commit -m "commit message"
And that's it, you have now saved those changes and recorded them in the version control. But the changes that you made have only been recorded in your local repository and you would need to push these changes to the remote repository (the GitHub servers). You can do this by
git push origin master
It would take a few seconds (depending on your internet speed and the project file size) to push these changes to the remote servers. Once it's done, you can open that repository on GitHub and see the changes for yourself.
Just to amend this a bit. I believe "master" is now "main" in some instances or platforms. If this answer isn't working for you, try swapping that out. It worked for me.
I am struggling with properly configuring a git workflow for a laravel project. I created the laravel project locally. At the base directory I used the git init command. Then connected the repository to the bitbucket repository set up by the company I am working for like so:
git remote add origin https://address/xyz.git
I then made some new changes to a few of the files. Did a commit and then pushed to origin like this:
git push -u origin master
Now I logged into our development box (which is not my local dev box). Built the laravel default laravel application and then tried to pull down the project specific files by connected the dev box's laravel directory to the same repository, but I keep getting the following error:
error: The following untracked working tree files would be overwritten by checkout:
.gitignore
composer.json
package.json
resources/js/app.js
resources/js/bootstrap.js
webpack.mix.js
Please move or remove them before you can switch branches.
I know I probably missed some simple step or did not set up the development box correctly, but I can't find this scenario in the documentation and I can't seem to discover what I did wrong. Can anyone help?
It sounds like the repository on the main development box has some local changes that are not checked into git. Run the command
git status
On the remote development box. This will tell you any local changes.
If you want to remove any local unchecked in changes you can type
git reset --hard (resets any tracked files)
git clean -Xdf (resets all untracked files)
If you want to preserve any local changes, you can type
git stash
git stash --pop (recovers the changes - this may induce some conflicts)
Thanks for listing those tools Ben W, but it turns out that I the wording of my question was deceptive. When I went to the second machine (the development box), I should have built the laravel instance by using the git clone command.
git clone https://address/xyz.git
What I did instead, was build another full instance of laravel and try to link it to the same repository I created from the first box (my local notebook).
I upvoted your answer anyhow Brad W. because those are all great tools to know. Thanks.
As part of the development of a CI & CD flow for the company I work at, I am building a command line program (Bash script on OSX) that
creates a new local Git repo
adds some default branches to this repo
Then adds a new repo to Bitbucket using the next code:
gitUserName = Joris <-- provided by the user, this is an example
projectName = TestProject <-- provided by the user, this is an example
git remote add $projectName "https://bitbucket.org/$gitUserName/$projectName.git"
After running this command, I don't see the repository on my Bitbucket account on the website. When I try to re-run this command, it says the repository already exists.
Also, when I run git push $projectName master it says fatal: repository 'https://bitbucket.org/Joris/TestProject.git/' not found
This behavior seems inconsistent, and I have followed the Atlassian guide to set this up so I don't really understand why it doesn't add the repository as expected. I do realize that I can also just go on the BitBucket website and add the repository manually, but the purpose of my program is that it generates a fully set-up repository for a user based on as little commands as possible.
The git remote add documentation says that the command adds a remote to the local repo. This terminology is, IMO, a bit off; it would better to say it adds a remote configuration to the local repository (i.e. configures the repo to access a remote). This does not actually create the remote repo; that must be done separately.
In the case of bitbucket, the "normal" thing to do is to go to the website and create the repo through their UI. Because you're trying to automate things, you don't want to do that; so in that case, you would need to use the BitBucket REST API, which is documented here: https://developer.atlassian.com/server/bitbucket/reference/rest-api/
The "Core API" section talks about repositories and permissions, so you should be able to script out requests to (if necessary) check if the repo exists and set it up if it doesn't. You'll just need a way for your script to send HTTP requests and receive the responses.
In your machine:
Create repo:
git init
Add branches:
git checkout -b branchX
git checkout -b branchY
git checkout -b branchZ
In Bitbucket website:
Create new repository named TestProject, allow write permissions to user Joris in settings and save. Finally copy the url of the repository, this must be something like bitbucket.mydomain:port/nameofproject/testproject.git (Notice this is all in lowcase)
In your machine:
git remote add origin theURL
git push origin *:*
git push origin --tags
The last is the command to push all your local repo, this will overwrite the history and tags in your remote repo, but since is a new repo it doesn't matter.
I know this question has probably been asked a few times but I can't find an exact example of what i'm looking to do and for some reason I can't seem to get it to work.
I have a local ruby on rails repo i'm ready to share with another developer, could someone give me a run through(or point me in the right direction) of creating the new repository by PUSHING my local repo up to it?
Thanks

I would highly recommend bitbucket (Free up to 5 users) as a hosted git service. They have great documentation:
EDIT:
create repo
https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/BITBUCKET/Create+a+repository
push
https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/BITBUCKET/Import+code+from+an+existing+project
If you want to manage your own remote git repo, then
Make a bare clone of the repo
git clone --bare my_git_project my_git_project.git
Copy the bare repo to remote server
scp -r my_git_project.git gituser#remoteserver.com:/opt/git
Then login to the remote server and go to the git folder
ssh gituser#remoteserver.com
cd /opt/git/my_git_project.git
Then run this command
git init --bare --shared
At this point, any user who has ssh access to the remoteserver.com and write permissions on /opt/git/my_git_project.git will also have push access
A software such as Open source GitlabHQ is highly recommended if you wish to manage your own git hosting. Gitlab also has a hosted version gitlab cloud with unlimited free private repos and unlimited collaborators. Of course they also have paid version.
Currently I have an website on a .zip file containing also the .git directory and all the history. I want it to be imported into an Assembla git repository preserving the history of all previous changes. Is there an easy way of doing it?
extract your zip, navigate to it in your shell, and do git push <git assembla url> :. this should push all the refs to the new assembla repo.
If you cannot push to an assembla repo, check your ssh keys, like in this thread.
ssh -v git#git.assembla.com
