After seeing title of my question you might think like this kind of question is already been asked before. However this is not duplicate, read below to know.
I am developing IOS application. Whenever I get time I work on that every time I use either library's PC or friend's MacBook to developing or making changes in my existing project and then I compress the project and upload it to my Google drive.
I would like to add my Xcode project to Github. I know how to do it from MacBook though. I am looking for way to push my Xcode project from windows environment. As I am poor fellow and can not afford MacBook at the moment.
or
If is there any way I can push my project to same repo on Github from different MacBook every time. As I mentioned before I am using public library to work on my IOS app it is not possible that I can be able to use same Apple PC every time.
Make in windows console -
cd /path/to/my/repo
git remote add origin https://github.com/UserExample/ExampleProject
git push -u origin --all
There is a variety of ways to use GIT within Windows. Github is just a GIT repository cloud service. You can fetch, push, pull command line, after installing GIT on your Windows machine and then CD changing directory to your repository (where the source code is) on your Windows hard drive.
Since you are new to GIT and Github, use the very user friendly Github tool:
Github Desktop
You will be able to use use the existing repository on your Windows hard drive, or if it gets confusing via the Github Desktop to "connect" an existing local repository to the Github repository (https:www.github/myrep). Then just backup your working project to a backup folder and clone the Github repo you are using.

I am about to start developing an application in Xcode 7 and will be working on the code from different locations on different Macs. I want to configure a Git repository on my fileserver (Snow Leopard Server) where my code will reside, and will be regularly backed up from, so that I can 'check out' code to whichever Mac I am working on, work with it and 'check in' afterwards. Is this possible?
I am used to working in IntelliJ IDEA where I simply create a bare repository on my fileserver, create my new IntelliJ project on my local Mac and then 'push' my local code to my network repository when needed.
Many thanks.

You can have your own git server installed locally but its much better to use a service like bitbucket (private repo) or any other free git hosting service.
If you still decide to have it locally on your mac here are the instruction on ow to do it.

I'm working on a bit of documentation code for an API project.
Someone else already has an existing github account where some people have already submitted a few projects. I will call it {http://github.com/monkeyhouse/}
I've created a project in Xcode (iPhone app), and have that stored under my normal Xcode git, which is backed up everything is fine.
What is the right bit of git foo that I need to put Xcode Project into
{http://github.com/monkeyhouse/examples/iPhoneClient}
I've tried creating a symbolic link to the project on my machine and that didn't work.
Following is a common way to do what you're wanting to do on Github:
Fork http://github.com/monkeyhouse/ under your own Github account.
Clone your forked version of the repo to your development machine.
Make the modifications you want directly to your cloned repo (e.g., don't use a symlink), adding examples/iPhoneClient to the local repo, and commit the changes.
Push your changes to your public Github fork of http://github.com/monkeyhouse/.
Submit a pull request with http://github.com/monkeyhouse/ to have them bring in the changes you pushed to your forked version if they're happy with them.
I have a scenario, we are team of 5 iOS developers. Working on iMAC with OSX 10.8 and xCode version 4.5. Now i want to have Git Version control system during working on same Project.
I have read tutorials for Git but all have remote as online server like github.com or bitbucket. I want to create Local network Git server (Most probably my own iMAC) so that we can work on our local network.
Can anybody guide me how can i do that?
There is sparkleshare here http://sparkleshare.org/ which uses GIT under the hood.
How does it work?
SparkleShare creates a special folder on your computer in which projects are kept. All projects are automatically synced to their respective hosts (you can have multiple projects connected to different hosts) and to your team's SparkleShare folders when someone adds, removes or edits a file.
If you want to install your own private git server i found this useful http://blog.muehlbachler.org/2012/01/how-to-install-a-private-debian-git-server-using-gitolite-and-gitlabhq/
There could be plenty of results if you googled 'git private server'.
I hope that helped a bit.
Edit
There is also gitlab - http://gitlab.org/ which is a self hosted git management software.
I'm developing an iOS app on two different Macs. I have a local git repo setup in xcode. Every time I switch Macs, I download the most recent xcode project folder from my backup cloud service, SugarSync. SugarSync automatically uploads any changes I make to the project to the cloud.
Is this unstable, or just simply a bad practice? Is there a better way to build a project on multiple computers for only one developer?
I would suggest using github for something like this. You could push from one machine and pull from the other would would accomplish the same thing you are doing now.
BUT doing what you are doing now should still work, I've done the same with Dropbox in the past.
How do I add an external git repo (such as code.google.com) to Xcode with my project. All I am able to get is to add in the repo, but not use it with any projects. I have been trying the command line options from various websites with no success.
I find XCode has rather rudimentary SCM support. Do yourself a favour and use either the command line or a GUI client, you'll save headaches when things go wrong and the built in client with xcode doesn't always reveal things. Xcode is happy to look at the .git files or .svn files and tell if the status which is useful, but that's as far as I let it go.
Xcode will create and manage the repository for you locally, but you will need to push your commits using the command line.
I've been using it with GitHub, and ran into no issues so far.
Once you push your repo to the web server, all the local commits will sync and upload.
SourceTree is excellent, I use it and the CLI
