If you have spent any amount of time recently in the\u00a0Linux<\/strong>\u00a0world, then chances are that you have heard of\u00a0GIT<\/strong>.\u00a0GIT<\/strong>\u00a0is a distributed version control system that was created by\u00a0Linus Torvalds<\/strong>, the mastermind of\u00a0Linux<\/strong>\u00a0itself. It was designed to be a superior version control system to those that were readily available, the two most common of these being\u00a0CVS<\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0Subversion (SVN)<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Whereas\u00a0CVS<\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0SVN<\/strong>\u00a0use the\u00a0Client<\/strong>\/Server<\/strong>\u00a0model for their systems,\u00a0GIT<\/strong>\u00a0operates a little differently. Instead of downloading a project, making changes, and uploading it back to the server,\u00a0GIT<\/strong>\u00a0makes the local machine act as a server.<\/p>\n

\"Install<\/a><\/p>\n

Install GitHub Repository<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

In other words, you download the project with everything, the source files, version changes, and individual file changes right to the local machine, when you check-in, check-out, and perform all of the other version control activities. Once you are finished, you then merge the project back to the repository.<\/p>\n

This model provides many advantages, the most obvious being that if you are disconnected from your central server for whatever reason, you still have access to your project.<\/p>\n

In this tutorial, we are going to\u00a0install GIT<\/strong>,\u00a0create a repository<\/strong>, and\u00a0upload that repository<\/strong>\u00a0to\u00a0GitHub<\/strong>. You will need to go to\u00a0http:\/\/www.github.com<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0create an account<\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0repository<\/strong>\u00a0if you wish to upload your project there.<\/p>\n

How to Install GIT in Linux<\/h3>\n

On\u00a0Debian<\/strong>\/Ubuntu<\/strong>\/Linux Mint<\/strong>, if it is not already installed, you can install it using\u00a0apt-get<\/strong>\u00a0command.<\/p>\n

$ sudo apt-get install git<\/pre>\n
On\u00a0Red Hat<\/strong>\/CentOS<\/strong>\/Fedora<\/strong>\/ systems, you can install it using\u00a0yum<\/strong>\u00a0command.<\/p>\n
$ yum install git<\/pre>\n
If you prefer to install and compile it form source, you can follow below commands.<\/p>\n
$ wget http:\/\/kernel.org\/pub\/software\/scm\/git\/git-1.8.4.tar.bz2\r\n$ tar xvjf git-1.8.4.tar\/bz2\r\n$ cd git-*\r\n$ .\/configure\r\n$ make\r\n$ make install<\/pre>\n
How to Create Git Project<\/h3>\n
Now that\u00a0GIT<\/strong>\u00a0is installed, let\u2019s set it up. In your\u00a0home<\/strong>\u00a0directory, there will be a file called \u201c~\/.gitconfig<\/strong>\u201c. This holds all of your repository info. Let\u2019s give it\u00a0your name<\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0your email<\/strong>:<\/p>\n
$ git config \u2013-global user.name \u201cYour Name\u201d\r\n$ git config \u2013-global user.email youremail@mailsite.com<\/pre>\n
Now we are going to\u00a0create our first repository<\/strong>. You can make any directory a\u00a0GIT repository<\/strong>. cd to one that has some source files and do the following:<\/p>\n
$ cd \/home\/rk\/python-web-scraper\r\n$ git init<\/pre>\n
In that directory, a new hidden directory has been created called \u201c.git<\/strong>\u201c. This directory is where\u00a0GIT<\/strong>\u00a0stores all of its information about your project, and any changes that you make to it. If at any time you no longer wish for any directory to be a part of a\u00a0GIT<\/strong>\u00a0repository, you just delete this directory in the typical fashion:<\/p>\n
$ rm \u2013rf .git<\/pre>\n
Now that we have a repository created, we need to\u00a0add some files to the project<\/strong>. You can add any type of file to your\u00a0GIT<\/strong>\u00a0project, but for now, let\u2019s generate a \u201cREADME.md<\/strong>\u201d file that gives a little info about your project (also shows up in the\u00a0README<\/strong>\u00a0block at\u00a0GitHub<\/strong>) and add some source files.<\/p>\n
$ vi README.md<\/pre>\n
Enter in info about your project, save and exit.<\/p>\n
$ git add README.md\r\n$ git add *.py<\/pre>\n
With the two above commands, we have added the \u201cREADME.md<\/strong>\u201d file to your\u00a0GIT<\/strong>\u00a0project, and then we added all\u00a0Python<\/strong>\u00a0source\u00a0(*.py)<\/strong>\u00a0files in the current directory. Worth noting is that\u00a099<\/strong>\u00a0times out of\u00a0100<\/strong>\u00a0when you are working on a\u00a0GIT<\/strong>\u00a0project, you are going to be adding all of the files in the directory. You can do so like this:<\/p>\n
$ git add .<\/pre>\n
Now we are ready to commit the project to a stage, meaning that this is a marker point in the project. You do this with the git commit \u201c\u2013m<\/strong>\u201d command where the \u201c\u2013m<\/strong>\u201d option specifies a message you want to give it. Since this is out first commit of out project, we will enter in \u201cfirst commit<\/strong>\u201d as our \u201c\u2013m<\/strong>\u201d string.<\/p>\n
$ git commit \u2013m \u2018first commit\u2019<\/pre>\n
How to Upload Project to GitHub Repository<\/h3>\n
We are now ready to push your project up to\u00a0GitHub<\/strong>. You will need the\u00a0login information<\/strong>\u00a0that you made when you created your account. We are going to take this information and pass it to\u00a0GIT<\/strong>\u00a0so it knows where to go. Obviously, you\u2019ll want to replace \u2018user<\/strong>\u2019 and \u2018repo.git\u2019<\/strong>\u00a0with the proper values.<\/p>\n
$ git remote set-url origin git@github.com:user\/repo.git<\/pre>\n
Now, it is time to push, ie copy from your repository to the remote repository. The git push command takes two arguments: the \u201cremotename<\/strong>\u201d and the \u201cbranchname<\/strong>\u201d. These two names are usually origin and master, respectively:<\/p>\n
$ git push origin master<\/pre>\n
That\u2019s it! Now you can go the\u00a0https:\/\/github.com\/username\/repo<\/a>\u00a0link to see your own git project.<\/p>\n
