I am trying to connect VS code (on win10 machine) to github.
The GitHub Pull Requests and Issues is installed and enabled.
I followed few YouTube guides in which it was mentioned the git button that should appear on the upper right side of the explorer window, in order to add the project to the source control section.
This button doesn't appear at all.
Any idea?
Thank you
Since I post this message, VScode released a new version which makes the connection to Github very simple. For newbies like me that need to establish the connection, you may use the process I use:
1- Create a repository on github, and copy the link to the repo
2- In VScode, in view, command palette: GitClone, then add the link you just copied, select the folder where you want to store the repo on your local drive, and that's it.
3- Use the Source Control button on right, and them stage your changes, commit - and now only push/pull or sync.
Good luck.

In the new product of Microsoft, github.dev, you are automatically forwarded to a VSCode web IDE. However, I am not sure if it is possible to open your own repo (hosted on github.com), work on it and push the changes. Can you help explain if this can be done and how?
I do not seem to find a straightforward tutorial on that.
Note that I was able to open a repo of mine by clicking on the blue GitHub icon in the bottom left corner, but I fail to install a terminal, because
Terminals are not available for web editor. To use terminal you need to continue working in an environment that can run code, like codespaces or local VS Code
I read that codespaces are a paid option for github enterprise, but the way this error message is written might suggest other ways.
Opening your repository
You can open your repository by visiting it's page on GitHub and pressing . to open it in github.dev. You can also use the url format https://github.dev/<username>/<repo-name> with the path to your repository.
Making Commits
While the terminal cannot be used in the editor, you can make commits using the VSCode source control system.
I figure this may be somewhat of a common question, but I am still having trouble with what I am finding. Note: I am very new to deploying applications. I have created my first application, an ASP.NET MVC application using Visual Studio Community 2015(I am using enitity framework for the database if that matters). It is time for me to deploy it. I have all my files on gitHub. Now I believe it is time for me to commit to my remote repository on AppHarbor (which I have the link for), but I just can't seem where to do it. It seems to be so simple. I'm using the team explorer. Again, I am very new to programming and deploying applications, so any help would be amazing. Again, from what I understand I need to connect to my remote repository now. I could be wrong. Thank you very much for any insight.
Inside Visual Studio, open the 'Team Explorer - Connect' Window. Default Shortcut for that should be Ctrl+/ + Ctrl+M.
Inside the Team Explorer window, Click on the green plug like button that you see that says "Manage Connections". You will be able to connect to your remote repo from here.
After that, Click on 'Clone' and paste your repo's URL in the yellow text box:
If your remote repo is on the GitHub, this is where you can find the URL to your remote repo:
Well, that's it.. you're connected! To commit your changes, you can easily find the "Changes" section in 'Team Explorer' window. Here's a screenshot for that too:
Note that in my case some of the buttons shown may be Disabled. That should not be a problem to you if you have files with changes, etc.
I don't know about Visual Studio, but with git you need to push your changes to a remote repo, so maybe you have a "push" somewhere ?
First you need to add this remote repository.
I'm Switching from svn to git for couple of projects that will need to be published on GitHub.
I have a brand new Java project on my workspace, (Eclipse ide), and its under version control (Git), i have a local git repository under D:\repository.
Remotely (on github) i have created a new empty project.
Now, i have downloaded the github gui for windows, and i have (i think succesfully) let the gui to recognize my local repository (i see the little screen icon on the left and all source code on the right), but how can i upload the entire project to github via the gui?
The docs in the help pages of the gui do not (surprisingly) explain this.
Also, is it possible that whenever i commit a new change, the changes are pushable via the gui to github?
Thx
Do some changes and it will show "uncommited changes". Click on it and type in the message, press "commit to [branch]".
Then just press the Sync button on the top right.

I am in need of help in trying to setup Eclipse so that I can push my code onto my GitHub account. I've searched online and the tutorials I have found are either outdated or don't work for me.
I already have a project on Eclipse. How would I put that code onto GitHub? Would someone please add detailed instructions please. Any help is appreciated.
EDIT
As soon as I posted this question, and fiddling around with the settings I managed to get it to work! What a coincidence...
The only problem I have now is how do I set it up so that when I commit it will only select the files in the project folder? Right now it is showing all 600 files in the Package Explorer.
Alright, there are several ways of doing this. I found this to be the easiest way:
First, set up SSH2 configurations. Go to Windows->Preferences->General->Network Connections->SSH2->Key Management and Generate RSA Key. Save Key
Copy that key. You will need to go to your GitHub account settings and add the new SSH key to your account.
Now, you need to install eGit:
Next, you want to add the Git Repositories view:
Create a new Git Repository. I have already created a repository called Java. I will refer to that repo for the rest of the explanation.
After you create your repository, it should show up in the Git Repositories view. Now to add your project to the repository, right click on your project and select Team->Share Project.
Select the repository you just created. You can also use CTRL+ to select multiple projects and place them in one repository.
Now go back to your Git Repositories view. Go to Remotes . Right click and select Create Remote.
Select Change... and enter the SSH link for your Repository on GitHub.
For connection, select SSH. Then press Finish.
For Rev-mapping, select Advanced....
For Source Ref select refs/heads/master. And then press Add Spec, then select Save specifications in 'origin' configuration. Then press finish.
That's pretty much it. You can commit changes by right clicking your project - >Team->Commit...`
Push new commits to GitHub:
This is a really good explanation on how to set up Eclipse pull requests.
The current branch is not configured for pull No value for key branch.master.merge found in configuration
My colleague and I work together on an iPhone app in Xcode. Now and then, we want to merge our work. Ideally, this should also work when we are offline and use a USB stick to exchange eachother's projects.
For the case the majority of the changes are non-conflicting, what way can I use to merge these two whole projects locally, and keeping the local GIT repository in sync with these merges?
To merge the changes into your version, you need to add your colleague's version as a remote repository (although stored locally on harddisk) to your project and then pull the changes from your colleague's project into your own project.
Details:
I'm assuming you have two copies of the same Xcode project, with different changes, on your local harddisk, yours and the one with the additional changes from your colleague that you want to merge into your own version.
Moreover, I'm assuming that both of you use a local GIT repository for local version control. That's the default when you start a new Xcode project, so unsually you don't need to worry about this.
Let's assume the project folders are in these locations:
/Users/UserName/projects/YourVersion
/Users/UserName/projects/YourColleaguesVersion
For adding your colleagues project as a remote repository to your project, do this:
Go to the Organizer (click in Xcode's Menu: Window > Organizer)
Click on Repositories at the top of the Organizer window
Locate YourVersion in the list at the left side of the Organizer window
Click on "Remotes" under YourVersion
Click on "Add Remote" at the bottom of the Organizer window
In the Dialog which appeared, type in this:
Remote Name: YourColleaguesVersion
Location: file:///Users/UserName/projects/YourColleaguesVersion
Click the "Create" button and close the Organizer window
Now for pulling the changes from your colleage's project into your project, do this:
Click in Xcode's Menu: File > Source Control > Pull...
A Dialog opens and says "Choose remote from which to pull changes." - It should show YourColleaguesVersion/master as the remote repository and it should say Remote is online. Click on the "Choose" button.
You're done.
This is what source control is for. You mention git, and that's a reasonable source control system to use. git is very good at branching and merging and makes it pretty easy. You should read the git book chapter on branching. It explains it pretty well.
There are a variety of ways you can do it, but if you both work on different computers, it seems like the easiest way is to have a git server that hosts the main repository. You can each branch and merge locally or from the server. You shouldn't need to share a memory stick, though you could theoretically keep a local git repository there and each have branches on it. But git was intended to be used by many people distributed in different places each making their own frequent branches and merging them back together.
I should add that you can start a git repository locally and later move it to a server if you don't have a server right now. You can also use something like github to store your project on a server without having your own server.
