Git with Git-hub

In this article we will see how we can configure our local repository to connect to the Git hub remote repository and push our code to the remote repository.

1) Initialize a Git repository using "git init"

2) Now create a couple of files. add and commit to the local repository

[root@vx111a Mytest]# git add ReadMe

[root@vx111a Mytest]# git add Hai.java

[root@vx111a Mytest]# cat hai.java

public class hai {

 public static void main(String st[]) {

    System.out.println("This Is Git Sample");

}

}

[root@vx111a Mytest]# git commit -m "testing GIT"

[master (root-commit) bad4374] testing GIT

 2 files changed, 6 insertions(+)

 create mode 100644 Hai.java

 create mode 100644 ReadMe

3) Once the files are added to the local repository we need to add these files to the remote repository but before that we need to add the remote repository details to the Git configuration.

check the remote repository configured for the local repository using,

[root@vx111a Mytest]# git remote show origin

* remote origin

  Fetch URL: https://github.com/jagadish12/MyTest.git

  Push  URL: https://github.com/jagadish12/MyTest.git

  HEAD branch: master

  Remote branch:

    master tracked

  Local ref configured for 'git push':

    master pushes to master (up to date)

or we can also use,

[root@vx111a Mytest]# git config --get remote.origin.url

https://github.com/jagadish12/MyTest.git                                                        

The remote origin is already configured over here , but if that is not configured we dont see the above details.

For adding the remote configuration details, we can use

git remote add origin https://github.com/jagadish12/SampleTest.git

This will add the remote configuration information. Once the remote configuration is added, we can then push our local code committed to the remote repository using,

[root@vx111a Mytest]# git push origin master

Username for 'https://github.com': jagadish12

Password for 'https://jagadish12@github.com':

   bad4374..089a50e  master -> master

The git Push asks for the Github User name and password for pushing the data to the remote location ( aka remote repository )

Now we can login to the Git Hub and check the updated file changes in the repository that we created.

Now if we want to remote the remote repository configured for a Git, we can use

[root@vx111a test]# git remote remove origin

[root@vx111a test]# git remote add origin https://github.com/jagadish12/SampleTest.git
