Sample .gitignore command
Some times you may want to create a .gitignore before to create git
echo projectBase > .gitignore
if there are multiple files/folders
echo projectBase > .gitignore & echo otherFolder >> .gitignore
Add Existing Project to Already created Remote Git Repository
Prerequisites
- Install Git https://git-scm.com/downloads
- Install TortoiseGit(Optional) https://tortoisegit.org/download/
- Create an account in Remote Git Repository . I suggest https://bitbucket.org/ OR https://github.com/
Steps
- Create a Remote Git Repository . Set Default branch name as
'master'
- Create
'addExistingPjt2Git.bat'
in the folder where you want to make the git and copy the following code into it.@echo off setlocal :PROMPT rem Git URL eg: https://userid@bitbucket.org/userid/repository-name.git set /p remoteRepositoryURL="Enter remote repository URL: or 'q' to quit " echo "Entered remote repository URL was " %remoteRepositoryURL% set quitbat=true IF not "%remoteRepositoryURL%" == "q" IF not "%remoteRepositoryURL%" == "Q" set quitbat=false if "%quitbat%" == "true" goto END :NOTEND rem echo "Inside :NOTEND Entered Value was " %ANYKEY% git init git add . git commit -m "First commit" git remote add origin %remoteRepositoryURL% echo # list of files and folders to ignore in git >> .gitignore for %%f IN (.gitignore,addExistingPjt2Git.bat)do echo %%f >> .gitignore git remote -v git pull --progress -v --no-rebase --allow-unrelated-histories "origin" master git push origin master set /p ANYKEY="Successfully added project to GIT, Press any key to continue: " :END endlocal
The above .bat worked for bitbucket
But for github a slightly different version was required
The main reason was
- Default branch of github is
main
and notmaster
as in bitbucket - Default brach created locally with git init is
master
- so a rename of branch is needed for properly pushing it to remote
@echo off setlocal :PROMPT rem Git URL eg: https://userid@bitbucket.org/userid/repository-name.git rem Git URL eg: https://github.com/osolsolutions/simple-contact-us.git rem Git URL eg: ssh://git@github.com/osolsolutions/simple-contact-us.git set GIT_REMOTE_BRANCH_NAME=main set /p remoteRepositoryURL="Enter remote repository URL: or 'q' to quit " echo "Entered remote repository URL was " %remoteRepositoryURL% set quitbat=true IF not "%remoteRepositoryURL%" == "q" IF not "%remoteRepositoryURL%" == "Q" set quitbat=false if "%quitbat%" == "true" goto END :NOTEND rem echo "Inside :NOTEND Entered Value was " %ANYKEY% git init rem rename branch to match the rmote repository branch name git branch -m %GIT_REMOTE_BRANCH_NAME% git add . git remote add origin %remoteRepositoryURL% git commit -m "First commit" rem ------ the below commands may be uncommented if you are using a different github account than your gobally set account rem git config --local user.name <github username> rem git config --local user.email <github email> rem git config --local user.signingkey "" rem git config --local credential.helper wincred rem git config --local credential.username <github username> rem ------- loca user settings complete rem use below commented commands to check if the local setting worked rem git config user.name rem git config user.email git remote -v git.exe pull --progress -v --no-rebase --allow-unrelated-histories "origin" %GIT_REMOTE_BRANCH_NAME% git push origin %GIT_REMOTE_BRANCH_NAME% set /p ANYKEY="Successfully added project to GIT, Press any key to continue: " :END endlocal
Shortest form for github
git init rem git init creates branch 'master', but for git hub default branch is 'main' rem so rename branch to match the remote repository branch name. git checkout -b main git remote add origin https://github.com/osolgithub/phpdoxygen.git git pull origin main git add . && git commit -m "First commit to upload" git push origin main
PS:if branch main
is not created, you may upload to main
branch from default master
branch with
rem git push origin HEAD:main
- PS: Keep only required files in the folder where you want to create local repository(.gitignore is not incorporated in the .bat file)
- Double Click the .bat file. It will prompt for the remote repository URL
- Copy the URL of the repository you made in step 1 and paste in command prompt.
- Press Return
- The Command Prompt will display a series of messages and finally come to halt with the message
Successfully added project to GIT, Press any key to continue:
- That is it. Refresh the remote repository in browser and you see the local files is merged
Suggested Steps after merging repository
- Copy files and folder to ignore to the repository folder
- Add gitignore on those files
