Is there an automated way to easily host a static site made with wintersmith on Github Pages or Heroku?
I have tried writing a gruntfile, shell scripts and a couple of suggestions that were mentioned in this issue but all of them were quite difficult to setup.
I am basically looking for something as simple as this -
wintersmith new myblog
npm install
wintersmith deploy
PS:
Can someone put a new wintersmith tag to this question?
Here are some general guidelines based on my set up for github pages. (more info on github pages)
I have two folders. One for wintersmith, and one which is a git repository folder.
./myblog/ (wintersmith)
./personalblog/ (git repo)
On configuring your git repo, create ./personalblog/ via:
mkdir personalblog; cd personalblog
git init
git branch -m master gh-pages (this is important! see: https://help.github.com/articles/user-organization-and-project-pages#project-pages)
Create a repository of the same name on github. Then set the origin of the local repo. See here for more info.
Within ./myblog I'd have a bash script (build.sh) with the following:
#!/bin/sh
# ./myblog/build.sh
# other build commands such as javascript or css minifiers
rm -r ./build/
wintersmith build
Then, I check and verify the wintersmith build. I verify using nodejs http-server. I'd have another bash script file for deployment:
#!/bin/sh
# ./myblog/deploy.sh
# rsync to efficiently sync ./myblog/build to ./personalblog/
# ignore deleteing .git folder and other stuff
rsync -rtvu --delete -f"- .git/" -f"- CNAME" -f"- .gitignore" -f"- README.md" ./build/ ../personalblog/
# change dir
cd ../personalblog/
# sync to github
git add -A
git commit -am "Commit on $(date)"
git push origin gh-pages
Hopefully these guidelines are helpful for you.

I have seen so many articles/questions on how to download specific files from git repo, but none of them seems to match with my case.
What I need
Download spefic files from private git repository either using http's or ssh from linux server
Update - I originally wrote this as a general answer about git, and will preserve that info below. But I see you're talking about github, which does give some additional options.
For example, you could use a command like
curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/eirslett/frontend-maven-plugin/master/README.md > README.md
to download just the README.md from the frontend-maven-plugin (which I happen to be looking at just now).
You mention yours is a private repo, so you'd have to deal with authentication; I suggest reading up on curl, as it should be able to provide credentials to the repo.

Original answer
There's not really a single git command for downloading an individual file from within a remote git repo. The closest I know you can do is this:
First clone the repo without checking out a work tree
git clone -n <repo-url>
Then check out just the file you want
git checkout master -- path/within/repo/to/file
But don't be fooled: This still downloads the entire repo. (That's just how git works.) So in addition to getting ./path/within/repo/to/file you also got ./.git containing all the rest of the data.
You can do in this hackish way: ö(å_å)ö
If this file is on github.com do this.:
wget https://example.githubproject.com/user/project/master/README
You can try git archive command:
git archive --format=tar --prefix=junk/ HEAD | (cd /var/tmp/ && tar xf -)
Create a tar archive that contains the contents of the latest commit on the current branch, and extract it in the /var/tmp/junk directory.
Example git archieve command usage:
git archive --format=tar --remote=origin HEAD | tar xf -
git archive --format=tar --remote=origin HEAD <file> | tar xf -

I'm not sure what about your question is, but, have you did git clone <<url of git project>> ??
I am on a windows machine and my .java files are stored on my disk (C:\Users\myname\workspace..etc)
I have a git repository set up in a cloud and I SSH to it using putty.
My question is, how do I add the files in my workspace to the repository?
When I do git add filename.java the linux terminal says it cannot find specified file.
So do I some how bring the the copies of the java files into this terminal directory?
Btw I'm using an Atlassian Stash on Amazon Web Services.
Go to current working directory to your local project and run following commands:
Step 1 : Initializes a new Git repository. Until you run this command inside a repository or directory, it’s just a regular folder. Only after you input this does it accept further Git commands.
git init
Step 2 : This does not add new files to your repository. Instead, it brings new files to Git’s attention. After you add files, they’re included in Git’s “snapshots” of the repository.
git add .
Step 3: Check the status of your repository. See which files are inside it, which changes still need to be committed, and which branch of the repository you’re currently working on.
git status
Step 4: Git’s most important command. After you make any sort of change, you input this in order to take a “snapshot” of the repository. Usually it goes git commit -m “Message here.” The -m indicates that the following section of the command should be read as a message.
git commit -m "Committing Files - Message"
Step 5: Add origin to the .gitconfig file.
git remote add origin <url to your git repo.git>
Step 6: Push the changes from your local repository.
git push -u origin master
I've already read several posts about this here (like Git ignore & changing the past, How to remove files that are listed in the .gitignore but still on the repository?, and Applying .gitignore to committed files), but they have several problems:
Commands that only work on Linux.
Incomplete commands (like the first post I've linked to).
Only for one file.
I have pretty much no experience with Git so I was hoping for some help here.
What I'm basically trying to do is rescue one of my projects history. It's currently Hg and I converted it to Git with Hg-Git (all very easy) and it includes the history (great!). However, I also added a .gitignore file and added several new files & folders that I want completely gone from the history (like the bin and obj folders, but also files from ReSharper). So I'm looking for a way to apply the .gitignore file to all of my history. The commands should work on Windows as I have no intention of installing Linux for this.
No need to add the .gitignore in the history (there is no added value to do it), just add it for your future commits.
For the remove of files and directories in your history, use bfg-repo-cleaner which is fast, easy and works very well on Windows (done in scala).
It will do the job for you!
This is working for me:
Install hg-git.
cd HgFolder
hg bookmark -r default master
mkdir ../GitFolder
cd ../GitFolder
git init --bare
cd ../HgFolder
hg push ../GitFolder
Move all files from GitFolder to a '.git' folder (in this GitFolder) and set this folder to hidden (not the subfolders and files).
cd ../GitFolder
git init
git remote add origin https://url.git
Copy all current content (including .gitignore) to GitFolder.
git add .
git commit -m "Added existing content and .gitignore".
git filter-branch --index-filter "git rm --cache d -r --ignore-unmatch 'LINES' 'FROM' 'GITIGNORE'" --prune-empty --tag-name-filter cat -- --all
git rm -r --cached .
git add .
git gc --prune=now --aggressive
git push origin master --force
There is probably an easier way to do this and it might not be perfect but this had the result I wanted.
I have an old Synology DS-106j server where I tried to install git using ipkg command. The installation went smoothly, but git failed to work correctly. I am currently learning how to use git, so I don't know if it is a bug from git with the version I am using or something else is wrong.
What I did was create a new local repository with a specified name, add a new file, commit it, and got an error:
NAS_SERVER> git init Test
Initialized empty Git repository in /root/Test/.git/
NAS_SERVER> ls
Packages.gz git_1.8.4.2-1_powerpc.ipk
Test
NAS_SERVER> cd Test
NAS_SERVER> git status
# On branch master
#
# Initial commit
#
nothing to commit (create/copy files and use "git add" to track)
NAS_SERVER> touch Test.cs
NAS_SERVER> ls
Test.cs
NAS_SERVER> git add *
NAS_SERVER> git status
# On branch master
#

I thought...maybe I did something wrong, so I used git on Windows OS and try a push. Still an error. Transfer the whole repository to the server and check the status. It seems fine. Try a commit. Still the same result. What worse is that I can't update git version without having to compile it, which I don't even know how to do so. Any suggestion to what might be wrong?
If your goal is to push into a git repo located on the synology disk(s) for backup purposes I'd recommend a different approach which would avoid having to install a rather old git version on the synology box itself (which could lead to problems if/when using a newer git version on the windows machine).
Export a samba share from synology, mount it on windows and use the windows git to create the backup repo (maybe even a bare repo, eventually group shared if you plan to share work with other people). Then push from your working repo into this backup repo - all on the windows box. In this scenario the synology box doesn't need git installed, it just serves files (i.e. its original job).
I'm using such setup but with a linux machine instead of a windows one and with the bare repo on the synology disks exported via NFS instead of Samba.
I'm just entering into the wonderful world of git.
I have to submit a bunch of changes that I've made on my program, located in a directory called /var/www/myapp.
I created a new directory /home/mylogin/gitclone. From this directory, I did a git clone against the public repo and I was able to get the latest copy created.
I'm now trying to figure out how to take all the files in my working folder (/var/www/myapp) and "check them in" to the master repository.
From /home/mylogin/gitclone, I tried git add /var/www/myapp but I'm getting an error that the folder I tried to add is outside the repository.
Can you give me a few pointers on what I'm doing wrong? Also, I'd like to add everything, whether it's different from the master or not.
Thanks.
First in the clone folder you can create a Branch (so the master stay untouched)
git branch [branch_name]
After, just copy the files you want from your old folder to the clone folder.
When you are done, just add / commit your change and Merge your branch into the "master" branch. It will look like to something like this:
git add .
git commit -m "Comments"
git checkout master
git merge [new_branch]
Try this tutorial from GitHub.
You'll have to move all the files from /var/www/myapp to /home/mylogin/gitclone and then do a git add . and then git commit -m "Your message".
When upgraded to git version 2.12.2 that error appeared, I nooted the i add the file with a full path like:
git add c:\develop\project\file.text
when removed the full path it start working, like:
git add file.text
To add some files or folder to your repository, they have to be in the folder you created with git clone. So copy/paste your application in your local git folder and then go in it and do git add * and then you'll be able to commit to the server with git commit -m 'message' and finally push the changes to the server with git push
Okay, this error came up for me because I moved the project from one computer to another.
So the git was not able to figure my global git user.name and user.email
I opened the command prompt and specified my old git user.name and user.email from previous computer. Kindly run the following commands and it should be fixed.
cd pathToMyProjectDirectory
git config user.name "myName"
git config user.email "myEmail"
That's because you are versioning stuff inside /home/mylogin/gitclone and git tracks everything inside that folder. You cannot track other folders outside of this repository.
A solution might be create a submodule, or using a symbolic link using ln -s
Git only tracks files and folders within the root folder which includes the .git directory and the subfolders inside root folder. The folder you are trying to add is outside the scope of git.
What would you actually like to do is first git checkout -b myapp which will create and checkout a new branch based on the master branch of the repository you cloned. Then you would actually copy all your files over and commit them with git commit -a -m "Short descriptive name about what you did". The parameter -a you passed to git commit is for including all the changes done to the repository and -m is to include the commit message in the actual command. After that you can either push back to the main repository if you have write access to it or push it to your own public repo or don't push it at all.
What I've described above is pretty much the basics of git. Try reading this book which is pretty descriptive.
Maybe someone comes along having the same trouble like I had:
In my case this error was thrown while using husky (commit hooks) https://github.com/typicode/husky
It was just an error because of encodings. My source was located in a directory that contains a special character ("ö")
Seems like husky uses "git add" with the absolute path of the source which fails somehow at this point
I renamed the path and it worked fine.
This message can also appear when the file name is listed in the .gitignore file.
My scenario is that the git repository's path has symbolic link and git throw out this error when add file say to "/home/abc/GIT_REPO/my_dir/my_file".
and "/home" is actually a softlink to "/devhome".
code ninja gave me some light when I tried to debug this case.
So I tried get the target directory by using the command readlink -f /home/abc/GIT_REPO before run add command.
And then everything works like a charm !
I encountered the issue at Windows box with maven-release-plugin.
The plugin tries to add files using absolute path and I have noticed that the path in the Git add command starts with uppercase D: while the path in Working directory: log line started with lowercase d:
I have added core.ignorecase = true to the Git settings and the issue was gone.
