Import source tree into an empty git repo
If you've got local source code you want to add to a new remote new git repository without 'cloning' the remote first, do the following:
- Create the remote repository, and get the URL. In our case, it
is
git@dev.ece.ubc.ca:OS161 .If your local GIT repo is already set up, skips steps 2 and 3
- Locally, at the root directory of your source, execute:
$ git init
If you initialize the repo with a .gitignore and a README.md you should do a git pull {url from step 1} to ensure you don't commit files to source that you want to ignore ;)
- Locally, add and commit what you want in your initial repo:
$ git add . $ git commit -m 'initial commit comment'
- To attach your remote repo with the name
'origin' (like cloning would do), use:git remote add origin [URL From Step 1]
- To push up your master branch (change master to something else for a different branch), use:
git push origin master
