I have set user name and email by following these commands
$ git config --global user.name "Your Name"
$ git config --global user.email "your#email.address"
but whenever i commit the changes it asks for username always, I don't want to enter it always since it is set already.
The command should only ask for password not the user.
How to do this in git.
This is duplicate to : Git asks for username everytime I push
But better: use ssh instead of https
take a look here: https://help.github.com/articles/generating-ssh-keys

You have two separate problems here, and they're related. The first is that you've failed to configure your the name and email used in your commits, and so Git is refusing to commit any changes. The second is that because you have no commits in your repository, trying to push the branch main or master doesn't work, because it doesn't exist. That's the message that you're getting when you see “src refspec…does not match any.”
You need to configure your name and email, which are stored in user.name and user.email. Note that user.name is a personal name, not a username. So, for example, someone might run these commands:
$ git config --global user.name "Pat Doe"
$ git config --global user.email pdoe#example.com
Then, once you've made those changes, you can commit and it should succeed. Once you have commits, you can push them.
Note that if you want to use main as the default branch but your repository is using master, you can run git branch -m main and that will rename the branch. If you want to do that, do it before you push.
How do I make powershell stop showing the below message:
github --credentials get: github: command not found
This occurs whenever I try to ssh for git push or git pull.
Check you git remote -v: it you see https, it is not an ssh url.
Make sure push or pull are using an ssh url with:
git remote set-url origin git#github.com:username/repo.git
If you are using https, Git will try and use a credential helper: see if git config -l | grep cred returns anything. That would explain the github: command not found part.
If you have, go to your repo and type:
cd /path/to/my/repo
git config credential.helper ""
If your git is recent enough (Git 2.9+), that will prevent any credential helper to be active in your repo.
i am getting error sh.exe: notepad: command not found please short out my problem
Thanks
For the commit to GitHub part, you need to add (if you have created an empty yourRepo on GitHub):
git config user.name yourGitHubUsername
git config user.email yourGitHubEmail
git add .
git commit -m "First commit"
git remote add origin https://yourAccount#github.com/yourAccount/yourRepo
git push -u origin master
If that fails because GitHub already created one commit when you initialized your "empty" repo (it can add by default a README.md and a .gitignore), do a:
git pull --rebase origin master
git push -u origin master
If you really have to call notepad from a mingw session, you can use this wrapper:
#!/bin/sh
'C:/Program Files (x86)/Notepad++/notepad++.exe' -multiInst -notabbar \
-nosession -noPlugin "$(cygpath -w "$*")"
But remember you can use msysgit from a DOS session as well.
Seps:
1.git init
2. git status
3. git add .
4. git commit -a
5. git status
I wrote a script to auto-backup a website and this script will push resources to github. I wrote some code in crontab to let it auto-execution. However, I don't know why resources can't be pushed.
I can see the heads from .git that it has been modified (which means commit successfully). I guess the problem is that the incorrect use of username.
The information below is the output of auto-backup script.
Committer: root <root#xxxx.(none)>
Your name and email address were configured automatically based
on your username and hostname. Please check that they are accurate.
You can suppress this message by setting them explicitly:
git config --global user.name "Your Name"
git config --global user.email you#example.com
After doing this, you may fix the identity used for this commit with:
git commit --amend --reset-author
1 file changed, 14 insertions(+), 14 deletions(-)
How can I deal with it?
The command in crontab:
*/2 * * * * root /var/backWiki.sh >/home/xxx/Tmp/4.txt
Here is the main part of this shell script:
git pull originTyl master
git add -A
echo '2'
git commit -a -m $nowtime
echo '1'
git push originTyl master
echo '3'
origninTyl means:
`[remote "originTyl"]`
`url = https://accoutName:password#github.com/xxxx/xxxx.git`
`fetch = +refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/originTyl/*`
You should first test that script under your own account, where git config user.name and user.email must be set properly.
Then you should register your script top cron, making sure it is executed as you, not as root, each user having his/her own crontab.
Run cron jobs as a different user:
su - <user> -c <command or script>
The OP Yulong Tian confirms in the comments:
I have solved my problem by changing the user (not root as before) in crontab.
How can I create a new repository from my machine using git bash?
I followed the below steps:
mkdir ~/Hello-World
cd ~/Hello-World
git init
touch README
git add README
git commit -m 'first commit'
git remote add origin https://github.com/username/Hello-World.git
git push origin master
But I'm getting "Fatal error: did you run update-server-info on the server? "
You cannot create a repo on github using git bash. Git and github are different things. Github is a platform that let's you host and collaborate on code while git is the version control tool used. You can read more about them on wikipedia articles: github and git.
However if your intention is to create a github repo using terminal, you can do it using the github api and curl.
Probably the easiest way to create a repo on github is somewhere before this line:
git remote add origin https://github.com/username/Hello-World.git
go to https://github.com/new and create a repository on github, then run your last two lines and everything should work.
I have created this bash file to do it all automatically.
#!/bin/sh
reponame="$1"
if [ "$reponame" = "" ]; then
read -p "Enter Github Repository Name: " reponame
fi
mkdir ./$reponame
cd $reponame
curl -u USERNAME https://api.github.com/user/repos -d "{\"name\":\"$reponame\"}"
git init
echo "ADD README CONTENT" > README.md
git add README.md
git commit -m "Starting Out"
git remote add origin git#github.com:USERNAME/$reponame.git
git push -u origin master
So how:
copy the code above. save it as NAME.sh, add it to your PATH. restart terminal or open a new one.
$ NAME newreponame
$ NAME
$ Enter Github Repository Name:
Thanks.
First, try to do this right before the git push:
git pull repo branch
Then try to do the following:
$ git init --bare yourreponame.git
Then do what you were doing before:
touch README
git add README
git commit -m 'first commit'
git remote add origin https://github.com/username/Hello-World.git
git push origin master
I think it is doable.
You can do it using curl (if you are on Windows, you'll have to install it)
curl -u USER https://api.github.com/user/repos -d '{ "name": "REPO" }'
Make sure to replace USER and REPO with your github username and the name of the repository you want to create respectively
It asks for password, input your github admin password and you are good to go.

Overview
Command 'git' do not allow you to create repo but it's possible to create new repo at github from BASH script. All solutions use user/password authentication which is deplicated but stil in use. Authentication must be done using personal access token.
Below there are solutions:
3rd party application
https://github.com/github/hub
sudo apt install hub;
cd <folder with code>;
hub init;
hub create -p -d "<repo description>" -h "<project site>" \
"user_name>/<repo_name>";
More options: https://hub.github.com/hub-create.1.html
Pure BASH
REPONAME="TEST";
DOMAIN="www.example.com";
DESCRIPTION="Repo Description";
GITHUB_USER="github_user";
FOLDER="$HOME/temp/$REPONAME";
mkdir -p "$FOLDER"; cd "$FOLDER";
read -r -d '' JSON_TEMPLATE << EOF
{
"name" : "%s",
"description" : "%s",
"homepage" : "%s",
"visibility" : "private",
"private" : true,
"has_issues" : false,
"has_downloads" : false,
"has_wiki" : false,
"has_projects" : false
}
EOF
JSON_OUTPUT=$(printf "$JSON_TEMPLATE" "$REPO_NAME" \
"$DESCRIPTION" "http://$DOMAIN");
# https://developer.github.com/v3/repos/#create-an-organization-repository
curl -u ${GITHUB_USER} https://api.github.com/user/repos \
-d "$JSON_OUTPUT"
just try to add -u in your last line:
git push -u origin master
Maybe you are getting this error because you didn't set your identity:
$ git config --global user.name "John Doe"
$ git config --global user.email johndoe#example.com
