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
Marc
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.

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.
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 need to share a large git repository (>3GB in total, .git folder is ~1.1GB) as Windows Shared Folder over LAN with my colleagues. But they found it is really slow to clone and push/pull -- i.e. waits ~30min before the clone starts, and suspended ~5min before any push/pull starts.
Does everyone know any methods to reduce the latency or better way to share the repo?
P.S. I don't want to setup a Gitlab because it's too complicated.
Since your git repo is very big, you can bundle the whole git repo or part of commits among your colleagues sharing.
Bundle the whole repo: git bundle create repo.bundle --all
Bundle a branch: git bundle create repo.bundle branchname
Bundle some commits: git bundle create commits.bundle branchname ^commit
For the one who apply the bundled commits to his local repo, he can verify the bundle file by git bundle verify /path/to/bundle/file.
More details, you can refer Git's Little Bundle of Joy and git bundle.
git daemon works really well in this situation. Its performance is good, but lacks of security on Windows Server.
On server side, run the following command:
cd ~/Documents/All-My-Git-Repos/
git daemon --verbose --reuseaddr --export-all --enable=receive-pack --base-path=.
On client side, clone any repo like this:
git clone git://my-git-server-address/repo-folder-name repo-clone-name
While using this on Windows server, the firewall will prompt for permissions on Port 9418, which should be granted.
I installed Git for Windows in order to clone and pull a project hosted on a remote Linux server.
In my repository (D:/repositories/my-project) I launch the following commands
git clone server#192.168.56.101:/var/www/web/my-project/.git
git pull origin master
So far so good. I pull the project files whenever modifications are applied on the server.
But now I'd like to pull or push from the remote server to my local repository.
I tried many things but I can't figure out how to access the repository located on my local machine.
Things like:
git pull duddy#my-pc:/d/repositories/my-project/.git master
just doesn't work, Git says:
ssh: Could not resolve hostname my-pc: Name or service not known
fatal: Could not read from remote repository.
Can someone helps me ?
First things first, I would recommend you try simply running git pull.
If this doesn't work, try running git remote -v and check to make sure that the URL for your server is listed as an origin (server#192.168.56.101:/var/www/web/my-project/.git).
Your issue is that you are inputting the URL for your local repository in your attempt to git pull.
I suggest reading the git-pull documentation to learn more about how pull works.
Basically, you need to have some service at your workstation which serves the requests. There are following options (I did not try most of them myself, just making it up from what I know):
use the windows file access. This is the easiest to setup at the windows workstation - just share the repository folder. The Linux side should somehow be able to mount windows shares (like described, for example, here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently). If you manage to mount your \\my-pc\repo to some /mount/my-pc-repo, then you can access it as file:///mount/my-pc-repo.
run git daemon at windows. Set up instructions are available at SO (for example, https://stackoverflow.com/a/2275844/2303202) and it pretty straightforward, but it does not have any authentication and in most cases it is reasonable to use it only for reading, so you will not be able to push to the workstation, only fetch.
set up ssh daemon and access through ssh authentication with read-write access. Git for windows installation contains the needed software (the sshd.exe binary, it is there at least for Git for Windows 2.6.0), probably there is a way to utilize it but I could not find it quickly.
set up HTTP(S) service at your workstation. I don't know if it is possible to do only with Git for Windows (it might be, with some perl module which happen to be included with it), or you should use some other software.
I have git installed on my local windows 7 PC. I can commit there.
I have git installed on my linux dev server. I can commit there.
I have successfully cloned to each machine a github repository. So they seem to be working in that sense. But I'd like to be able to push from my PC to the dev server.
I believe that I am missing a crucial piece of info here and can't find any tutorials, questions answered on how to set this up.
I have a few questions:
I was led to believe that I don't NEED to set up ssh keys to do this, I will just be prompted for a password.
My site was developed in php, is it possible to push to the linux server and have the live dev site continue running, with the new changes?
Here is how I'm currently trying to clone from my linux server and the response... (i changed the IP address)
C:\DevEnv>git clone 0.0.0.0:gitrepo.git
Cloning into 'gitrepo'...
fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly
I have a directory called gitrepo.git that has a repository.
I also tried creating a repository in the home dir of mysite.com. When I try cloning that from my PC this is what happens:
C:\DevEnv>git clone http://mysite.com
Cloning into 'mysite.com'...
fatal: http://mysite.com/info/refs not valid: is this a git repository?
I've read through many tutorials and they mostly talk about either really really basic concepts, or how to push/pull to github, or just skip over certain settings so when I follow them I get fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly...
Any help, point in the right direction would be most appreciated!
You may need to provide your username. For example:
$ git clone myusername#myhost.com:/opt/git/project.git
Or you could setup a samba-share on the Linux box and share your git-repo, mount the share in windows and clone it from the filesystem.
More info about setting up git on a server:
http://progit.org/book/ch4-0.html
Check path to your project.
Try to clon via git protocol:
C:\DevEnv>git clone git://0.0.0.0/gitrepo.git
