I want to put my local git project in production server (Linux multi hosting account of go-daddy).
Is it possible to add my production server as my remote branch ?
So, having logged in via SSH:
$ mkdir mywebsite.git
$ cd mywebsite.git
$ git init --bare
on local git repo
$ git remote add production git#myserver.com:mywebsite.git
$ git push production +master:refs/heads/master
I got my solution,but thnx all of you !! :-)
You can add a new remote:
git remote add prod /url/to/empty/bare/repo
And then push your master branch to it:
git push -u prod master
But that supposes you initiated a bare repo on that production server first.
If git is installed on your server and you have cloned a copy of the repository there, you can add it as a remote using git remote.
git remote add [-t <branch>] [-m <master>] [-f] [--[no-]tags] [--mirror=<fetch|push>] <name> <url>
So:
git remote add production URL
You'd need to push from local and pull on the remote though. So you'd still have to SSH into your server to deploy.
If your end goal is simplified deployment you may wish to look into tools like Jenkins, which you can run locally and can be configured to connect to your server and deploy after running tests, etc.
That might be your best option if your hosting provider won't let you install Git.
Yes possible. You need the following command:
git remote add (remote-name)

I was new to Gitlab was trying to push my project from local machine to Gitlab.
Have done the SSH key and followed the instructions at Gitlab. Done the Git global setup. Was trying to add an existing folder , so i followed the instructions listed
cd existing_folder
git init
git remote add origin https://gitlab.com/sss/testnode.git
git add .
git commit -m "Initial commit"
git push -u origin master
but failed at the last step at the git push. The error message was
Tried adding the remote origin, but it was told it already exists. So not sure where it went wrong. Please help, much appreciated :)
Have done the SSH key
The problem is that you have defined your origin as HTTPS, not SSH.
Try:
git remote set-url origin git#gitlab.com:sss/testnode.git
That will override origin URL.
Independently, make sure your SSH key does work and allows GitLab to authenticate you as your GitLab account with:
ssh -T git#gitlab.com
Check out your credentials, if they are invalid, it wont give u to upload changes.
For Windows check this: https://www.digitalcitizen.life/credential-manager-where-windows-stores-passwords-other-login-details
For Linux check this: https://askubuntu.com/questions/30907/password-management-applications (if you do not know how to change credentials via terminal)
I try set up jenkins for automatically execute git pull from bitbucket. I created an SSH on repository and executed ssh -T git#bitbucket.org and got response:
authenticated via a deploy key. You can use git or hg to connect to Bitbucket. Shell access is disabled.This deploy key has read access to the following repositories:
If I try execute ssh git pull the console does infinite loading.. Why?
Did you clone repository? You should be able to login to Bitbucket web interface and in you profile add your public SSH key.
Then you can clone repository. From Bitbucket webinterface --> repo --> click on clone. This will pop up window with ssh command to clone repository.
Once you repo is cloned, you should be able to use
git pull
...edit,add,commit
git push
There is no need to manually open SSH connection - git will do it itself. You just need to tell git to pull a specify from which repository. Git will parse the URL, and invoke SSH if needed.
And this is the best practice to disable shell access to git hosts. See e.g. https://git-scm.com/book/en/v2/Git-on-the-Server-Setting-Up-the-Server
I previously kept a bare git repository on a Linux server and a working copy in my local Windows laptop for development (syncing to the server using TortoiseGit over ssh). The server version was deleted/lost so I want to recreate the repo on the server using the latest commit from the local working copy on the Windows machine.
What is the best way to create this new remote bare repo copy on the remote Linux server from the Windows working copy?
You can re-create the linux server repo using
mkdir -p myrepo.git
cd myrepo.git
git init --bare
On the local copy, assuming the remote URL is the same, do
git push origin <branch refspec>
for example
git push origin master
Note: If the remote URL has changed you can use
git remote set-url origin <new-url>
Just create the repo on the server, then add the repo to your local one as remote if it is not the same location as before and push to it.
Follow these steps:
Create a bare repository on remote.
I guess the answer provided by ad22 is good enough for you:
mkdir -p myrepo.git
cd myrepo.git
git init --bare
Otherwise, you need to find out how to create a bare repository on server.
Copy or Memo the URL of that just created bare repository.
(Of cause, you need to have the right for accessing the URL.)
Add a new remote for your local repository.
Since you already have a local repository,
Right click in that repository, Click TortoiseGit -> Settings,
Give the remote a shortname and URL you copied
Add it and apply the setting.
See:
Push to remote by right clicking in local repository and click Push item.
In Push dialog,
Select the remote you just added.
Check the Push all branches checkbox if all branches can be public, otherwise you need push each branch one by one.
Check the Include Tags checkbox if you want to push all tags.
Suppose that's all. ^__^
On your Windows machine:
git clone --bare /path/to/local-working-copy-of-the-repo
The above command will create local-working-copy-of-the-repo.git folder.
Now copy the folder(bare repository) on to the Linux server.
Hope this helps.
In our own Gitlab server, I accidentally removed the default admin, and the previous repo created by this default admin, is also gone.
How to recover the missing repo?
Following merlin2011's suggestion, I finally cloned my local copy to the gitlab server:
git remote -v // list all remote repo
git add repo 192.168.1.xxx //our local git server
git push -u repo master
git remote remove repo
git add origin 192.168.1.xxx
first of all, apologize for dummy questions that I might throw here. It would be nice if you could point the directions where should I go from here.
I'm totally new to version control(as well as git) and cloud system. However, it came to the point that I have to develop php web based application on AWS EC2 instance and make codes contributable for future developers.
I did successfully create EC2 instance that run PHP/MySQL and map the domain with Elastic IP. So the website is now publicly accessible via port 80.
I also installed git using $sudo yum install git and configed user.name and user.email
I then, go to root folder of the website (e.g. public_html) and run ‘git init’ which create the fold “.git” and I then add file using “git add .” and commit “git commit -m ‘initial upload’”
Is that the right way to go? Would it be ok to have the project folder sitting on /public_html (where accessible from anyone).
If above is ok, then where should I go from here?
I would like to have git server running on EC2 that allow developers to connect from their local machines (e.g. Eclipse) while being able to keep the backup and compare the different between codes.
What detail do I suppose to give developers so that they can connect to git server and working on project?
I quick direction or few keywords to do more research would help.
look here for more information on setting up git on amazon ec2
to allow developers to use you git, you just need to give them the git server url.
Direct quote from the site i'm linking to.
"First and foremost, you need to add your EC2 identity to the ssh
authentication agent. This prevents problems with git later, namely
getting the error “Permission denied (publickey).” when trying to do a
git push to the EC2 repository.
ssh-add path/to/privateEC2key.pem
Now you can go ahead and create the git repository on the EC2
instance.
ssh username#hostname.com
mkdir the_project.git
cd the_project.git
git init --bare
So not much going on here, all we do is create an empty repository and
then leave. Now, on the local machine, you do something like the
following:
cd the_project
git init
git add .
git commit -m "Initial git commit message"
git remote add origin username#hostname.com:the_project.git
git config --global remote.origin.receivepack "git receive-pack"
git push origin master
The ‘git config’ command is a fix that I found necessary to be able to
push to the EC2 repository."
The mentioned link by Alex gives a good starting point to setup git on ec2. But I followed a little different approach as mentioned here. link. Direct Quotes from the page:
"Connecting with SSH without a PEM key" : So either you add the ec2 private key and add it as a entity in your ssh authentication agent or create a new ssh key for your user and use that. Steps to be followed are:
Create SSH Key
First up you will need to navigate to your .ssh folder on your local machine :
cd
cd .ssh
if this folder doesn’t exist use mkdir to make it.
Once in your ssh folder on your local machine which should be in /Users/yourusername/.ssh generate your key by executing the following.
ssh-keygen -t rsa -b 1024
When prompted enter the file name to save the key enter id_rsa_aws, when prompted to enter a password leave blank.
In your .ssh directory execute the following command and copy the output to paste later.
cat id_rsa_aws.pub
Now connect to you AWS instance using you PEM key
ssh -i path/to/yourkeyname.pem ubuntu#xx.xxx.xxx.xxx
Once in
echo 'the key you copied from id_rsa_aws.pub' >> .ssh/authorized_keys
chmod 640 .ssh/authorized_keys
chmod 750 .ssh
Now you go to your machine and type
cd desired directory
git clone ubuntu#xx.xxx.xxx.xxx:<path_to_your_just_created_git_server>
If you did all the above mentioned steps correct, the only warning you might get is
warning: You appear to have cloned an empty repository.
That's ok. Now you can copy all your code into the clone directory, and follow the following steps:
git add .
git commit -m "Initial commit"
git push origin master // If working on master branch
