# This document covers the basics of creating a simple git repository.
|
|
|
|
################### CREATE NEW REPOSITORY ###################
|
|
|
|
# Log into github: https://www.github.com/
|
|
|
|
# Click on the left by your profile and then by repositories, click "New"
|
|
|
|
# Name your repository (within this document we will now refer to this as "test-repo")
|
|
|
|
# Navigate to the directory from which you will be working, and once you have established some files you'd like to commit, enter the following commands:
|
|
|
|
echo "# test-repo" >> README.md #creates a simple test README file
|
|
|
|
git init # initializes a local(on your computer) git repository
|
|
|
|
git add README.md # adds the README.md file to your local git repository
|
|
|
|
git commit -m "first commit" # and commits those files to the local git repository with a short message noting it as the "first commit"
|
|
|
|
git branch -M main # establishes which branch you wish your repository to be pushed to
|
|
|
|
git remote add origin https://github.com/<your_github_user_name>/test-repo.git # adds your local repository to be remotely added to the specified repository
|
|
|
|
git push -u origin main # pushes your local repository to the online repository
|
|
|
|
################### PUSH TO EXISTING REPOSITORY ###################
|
|
|
|
git remote add origin https://github.com/<your_github_user_name>/test-repo.git
|
|
|
|
git branch -M main
|
|
|
|
git push -u origin main
|
|
|
|
git checkout -b <new branch> ## create a new branch in your current repository
|
|
|
|
git commit -m "v0.1.0" # commits it to the repository with a version number as its message
|
|
|
|
git push origin main # pushes the local repository to the origin main branch
|
|
|
|
git tag v0.1.0 # tags that repository with that version number
|
|
|
|
git push origin v0.1.0 and pushes it to the repository
|
|
|
|
################ DELETING ITEMS FROM YOUR REPOSITORY ####################
|
|
|
|
git -rm <file name>
|
|
|
|
TO REMOVE FROM JUST THE REPOSITORY:
|
|
|
|
git -rm --cache <filename>
|
|
|
|
################### SECURITY #######################
|
|
|
|
CREATE AN AUTHENTICATION TOKEN ON GITHUB AND USE IT. (or use SSH)
|
|
|
|
# To create a gitignore file that ignores all node_modules subdirectories:
|
|
touch .gitignore
|
|
echo "node_modules/" > .gitignore
|
|
|
|
# To pull from your existing repository and force a merge request into your current git repository:
|
|
git pull origin main --allow-unrelated-histories
|
|
|
|
# Remember that certain files like our files.txt files in our reading-streams Node-Cookbook tutorials were over 50mb in size,
|
|
# which github has as their file cap, so don't commit files over 50mb.
|
|
|
|
#################### SSH PUSHING #####################
|
|
|
|
Creating an SSH key and utilizing it on your github account can be found here:
|
|
|
|
https://docs.github.com/en/github/authenticating-to-github/connecting-to-github-with-ssh
|
|
|
|
In order to utilize ssh with github, within your repository, when setting up your first push (instructions above)
|
|
You'll want to enter the following command before attempting to push:
|
|
|
|
git remote add orgin_ssh <ssh_url>
|
|
|
|
The ssh_url can be found on your repository's site under the Code tab, copy it and enter it with the command above
|
|
|
|
Then, when you are ready to push your committed changes to your repository, simply enter a modified version of the push command:
|
|
|
|
git push origin_ssh main
|
|
|
|
It will then prompt you for your ssh key's passphrase, enter it and you will be good to go (better than the security token option above)
|
|
|

################### UPDATE NPM REGISTRY ###################
|
|
|
|
npm login # Enter login credentials
|
|
|
|
npm publish --access=public # publishes your current npm package to npm
|
|
|
|
################### VIEWING REPOSITORIES #####################
|
|
|
|
Once within your local repository directory you can view what repositories you have open on your remote repositories by entering:
|
|
|
|
git remote -v
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
