  • Github workflow

    I don’t use git or github enough to remember the commands and most articles skim over the actual workflow I tend to need. So here’s my cheatsheet supporting this exact flow:

    1. Clone a repo from github onto local
      • git clone {https://github.com/author/proj}
    2. Make and commit edits on local
      • git commit -m “my commit message!”
    3. Add new personal repo on github
      • Go to github click new repo, add project name, copy link {https://github.com/me/proj.git}
    4. Add remote github repo to local repo
      • git remote add {proj} {http://github.com/me/proj.git}
      • check the linked remote repos: git remote -v
      • rename remotes: git remote rename origin {somthingElse}
    5. push to remote github. (-u flag sets default remote)
      • git push -u {proj} main
      • subsequent pushes are easier now default: git push

  • Git repo on remote server

    I’m beginning to really love git. However, I’m still a newbie especially when it comes to scalable architecture. How do I deploy my files onto my shared server using git?

    Steps

    1. Be able to SSH into your server without asking for a password
      • Verify or create a public RSA key (on your machine)
        • This is found (on your machine): ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub
      • SSH onto your server (via terminal)
        • ssh -p 2222 username@domainname.com
      • Put the key into a authorized_keys file (on your server)
        • This would be found (server): ~/.ssh/authorized_keys
