Okay. So I've got forked repository from my college teacher. I need to change main.cpp, then commit and push changes. I've done something like this:
git config --global user.name "username" and same thing with e-mail
ssh-keygen -t rsa -b 4096 -C "email"
eval "$(ssh-agent -s)"
ssh-add ~/.ssh/id_rsa
And then I did: git clone adress (SSH). Files were copied correctly. I've edited my main.cpp, saved changes, and then did: git commit -m "Solution" and git push. This is my terminal:
And here I edit main.cpp. Then:
What am I doing wrong?
You first need to stage files for commit. Learn more about staging with git in this tutorial.
The git add command adds a change in the working directory to the
staging area. It tells Git that you want to include updates to a
particular file in the next commit. However, git add doesn't really
affect the repository in any significant way—changes are not actually
recorded until you run git commit.
In your case, just before the commit do:
git add main.cpp
after your changes to source code, you need to do
git add .
git commit -m "Solution"
to upload you commits to remote
git push origin yourbranch

I have been creating some repositories of my projects since the terminal and everything was good, but recently I tried to push a project to GitHub and but another folders are created.
For example, the path of my project folder is /Desktop/Programming_course/React_Native/robotreact.
So, since the terminal I go to the path of my Project robotreact and I run:
git add .
git commit -m "first commit"
Then, in GitHub, I create my repository and after that I run:
git remote add origin https://github.com/Josesosa0777/robotreact.git
when I push it running: git push -u origin main
In my GitHub are created other folders:
How can I avoid those extra folders?
It seems like if another project is added, I am not sure if the problem is about a SSH key, I dont know how to solve it, any idea?
That means you have initialized your Git repository in / instead of /Desktop/Programming_course/React_Native/robotreact: check for /.git
If that is the case, and you don't have many commits, you can simply:
delete /.git
initialize the repository in the right folder,
add the remote origin
add files, commit and push
That is:
cd /Desktop/Programming_course/React_Native/robotreact
git init .
git remote add origin https://github.com/Josesosa0777/robotreact.git
# check your user.name/user.email
git config user.name
git config user.email
git add .
git commit -m "First import"
git push -u origin main
If your local branch is master:
git push -u origin master:main
I was trying to push the folder on my computer to GitHub. So I created a GitHub repository, and use git bash command line. I didn't push the folder successfully on my first try. Then, I deleted the old GitHub repository and created a new one, and tried using the git bash command line to push code again. However, it shows nothing to commit.
Here is an image to better help understand
According to the image, I understand that you have made a commit but your commit was empty and you did not track any file with git beforehand. You typically want to track the files you want to commit. So in this case you could use git add before committing:
git add .
This should track all files in the current folder after which you could commit and push them:
git commit -m "Some message"
git push
When you create a new repository on git, it shows you how to properly upload data
git commit -m "first commit"
git branch -M main
git remote add origin https://github.com/youracc/your.git
git push -u origin main
I'm using Travis CI to build my Jekyll site and push to Github. A lot of documentation around is for keeping the Jekyll code in the master branch, and building the site and pushing _site to the gh-pages branch. I want to avoid doing that and use the username.github.io repo on Github.
This is currently my build script:
#!/bin/bash
# skip if build is triggered by pull request
if [ $TRAVIS_PULL_REQUEST == "true" ]; then
echo "this is PR, exiting"
exit 0
fi
# enable error reporting to the console
set -e
# cleanup "_site"
rm -rf _site
mkdir _site
# build with Jekyll into "_site"
bundle exec jekyll build
# push
cd _site
git config user.email "john.doe#gmail.com"
git config user.name "John Doe"
git add --all
git commit -a -m "Travis #$TRAVIS_BUILD_NUMBER"
git push origin master
Of course, git push origin master as of now replaces the entire branch itself with the generated site. How do I generate the site and keep it within _site?
I am assuming you are running this script inside some folder. lets call that my_project.
Inside my_folder, when you run this script, it creates a _site folder.
Next you are doing cd _site. Dont do this.
Instead, remain at my_project folder and do the git config steps and others at this level.
So this will push all the stuff inside this my_project folder and the site will be inside the _site folder.
TL,DR:
Change these lines:
git add --all
git commit -a -m "Travis #$TRAVIS_BUILD_NUMBER"
To:
git add ./ #I assume you've cd'd into the directory you want to commit.
git commit -m "Travis #$TRAVIS_BUILD_NUMBER"
Explanation:
This question smells like a problem that someone coming from svn would have.(Skip the next paragraph if you aren't coming from svn)
There is a big difference in the way svn and git handle commits.
When you use svn, the commit always works relative to the current directory. So, the line cd _site changes what is known as the present working directory to _site. And there on out, svn only is concerned about the current directory and its children.
On the other hand, git commands will climb the directory path till they reach the root. So, when you are in _site and give a command with a --allor -a it will commit all the changes in the whole branch.
So, you replace --all with ./ in the add command which is just linux shorthand for the present directory. And remove the -a in the commit command. So the "changes added" are only from the present directory ie _site. This stages the changes for commit. You remove the -a from the commit command so that it only commits the staged changes.
As an aside, git add --all followed by git commit -a is redundant. The -a in commit ignores what is added to the stage and just commits all changes.
I accidentally pushed a file to my Github repository, and I am trying to understand where it is.
I have read many posts in here, but none of them had the solution, so I wanted to ask.
My steps were:
git status
git add normal_file.txt
git add sensitive_content_file.txt
git rm --cached sensitive_content_file.txt
#It was the time that I realized I have added a wrong file and need to remove it.
git commit -m "new changes"
git push
I saw that it pushed the "normal_file.txt " into my repository however I have not seen the "sensitive_content_file.txt" in my repository, so I assume it is not being pushed? So that all is okay?
I have tried to clean cache but now my repository complains as:
" Your branch and 'origin/master' have diverged, and have 1 and 1 different commit each, respectively."
However, I did not do any changes to itself.
How can I clear every connection to this file with I tried to remove its caches?
git rm --cached sensitive_content_file.txt before the commit was enough to not pushing it to GitHub.
But now, it would be best to add that file to your .gitignore, in order to be sure to not add it again by mistake:
echo sensitive_content_file.txt>>.gitignore
git add .gitignore
git commit -m "Ingore sensitive_content_file.txt"
git push
If you did any rebase/commit --amend, that would change the local history compared to what was pushed.
If you have not done any local modification, a git reset --hard origin/master would reset master, then you can modify the .gitignore and push.
I have created a repository on github, and run the command line git push -u origin master. I just find a folder over there, but I have a lot of file in my folder, but it only uploaded a folder that has no files in it.
How do I upload a folder with lots of files successfully?
I just tried the command git add . and git push -u origin master
It's not working.
Please me teach me what step I missed. Thanks in advance.
You need to add all of the files in the folder. If you actually want to add all of it (not just some), an easy way to do that would be git add -a or git add ReduxSimpleStarter/*.
Then you need to commit them. git commit.
Then push.
I'm guessing, by your description (sorry, it's a bit hard to read. So correct me if I am missing some details to your problem) you're forgetting to commit the changes.
To do this you need to git commit -m "A commit message". It would look something like this all together
git add .
git commit -m "Added a new button"
git push -u origin master
commit just tells git to save the changes you made to it's history. add just tells git that you want those files (in their current state) to be saved next time you commit.
Hopefully that solves your problem.
It looks like you are not committing your changes before pushing.
When you do this:
git add .
your files are adding to the staging area. But you also need to commit them. You can do this by typing this into you command line after doing the 'git add .' command:
git commit -m "your commit message here"
Then you should be able to type 'git push -u origin master' and your files should upload.
