Git Commands

From Eclipse locate the Project directory by right-clicking on the project folder and then selecting Properties from the menu.

1. sign into github.com
2. create new repository: MyFirstProject
3. open the terminal on your pc and change to the project directory
4. run the following commands at the prompt

   git init
   git remote add origin https://[email protected]/dave45678/MyFirstProject
   git config -l
   git add --all
   git commit -m "commit message"
   git push -u origin master
   git status
   

The project files should now be on github

After you make changes to your project:

git add --all
git commit -m "commit message"
git push
git status

Notes: if origin already exists then use

git remote set-url origin https://[email protected]/dave45678/MyFirstProject (Links to an external site.)

You can create a file in your project directory called .gitignore

You can copy an example of .gitignore from http://bit.ly/GitIgnore (Links to an external site.) and use that
