What is the method to configure Git and CodeHub?
To set up Git and CodeHub, you can follow these steps:
- To install Git, you need to first download and install the version that is compatible with your operating system from the official Git website (https://git-scm.com/downloads).
- Configure Git global settings: After installing Git, you need to set up your global settings, including your username and email address. To do this, open a terminal window and run the following commands to set your username and email address. Windows users can open Git Bash.
$ git config --global user.name "Your Name"
$ git config --global user.email "youremail@example.com"
- To generate SSH keys: If you plan on using the SSH protocol to interact with a remote repository, you will need to generate an SSH key pair. Run the following command in the terminal window and follow the prompts to generate your SSH key.
$ ssh-keygen -t rsa -b 4096 -C "youremail@example.com"
- Add an SSH key to your CodeHub account: Add the generated SSH public key to your CodeHub account so you can securely connect to CodeHub’s remote repositories. You can find the option to add SSH keys in the personal settings on the CodeHub website.
- Set up a local Git repository: In your project folder, open a terminal window and run the following command to initialize a new Git repository:
$ git init
- Add the remote repository as the remote source for Git: Run the following command to add the CodeHub remote repository as the remote source for Git:
$ git remote add origin <remote-repository-URL>
The
- Submit your code to the remote repository: execute the following command to submit your code to the CodeHub remote repository:
$ git add .
$ git commit -m "Initial commit"
$ git push -u origin master
This will incorporate all your edits, create a new commit, and push the code to the remote CodeHub repository.
At this point, you have successfully set up Git and CodeHub, and can use them for version control and collaborative development.
