Git on Accelerators

This page is a guide to using the Git version control system on Accelerators.

Git Overview

If you’re new to Git, or want a general introduction to using Git for version control, start off by reading the Git Overview in the All Accelerators Knowledge Base.

These instructions are currently incomplete. Please help edit and improve them.

Create a Git Repository

To create a new Git repository on your Accelerator, first edit your ~/.bashrc file and add this to the top:

  export PATH=${PATH}:/opt/local/bin

Then run something like:

  cd ~
  mkdir git
  mkdir git/myapp.git
  cd git/myapp.git
  git --bare init

To push an (existing) app from your local machine up to the remote repository:

  cd myapp
  git add .
  git commit -m "initial import"
  git remote add origin ssh://hostname/home/username/git/myapp.git
  git push origin master

(Perhaps there’s a more standard convention for repositories; feel free to edit this to reflect that.)
