Is it possible to have a project hosted on GitHub and Google Code?
I've been using Google Code for years, and recently started playing with GitHub. I like GitHub a lot, but there's also a long list of Google Code features I really miss.
Is it possible/feasible to host a single project on both? Can I use GitHub as the primary repository for my source, but have all revisions automatically sent over to a git repository on Google Code?
Yes, absolutely! Just add then commit then push to both repos! You can also add a remote in .git/config

I am new to web development and it seems like an extra step to have to use a text editor, then transfer files to Github desktop, then to GitHub. Is there a more efficient way to push your content to Github. Also, I am new to stack overflow and I'm excited to be here.
Thank you.
No, you don't have to use Github Desktop. Github is just a service that hosts Git repositories. Git is a version control system and there are zillions of tutorials out on the web that can help get you going learning how to use it.
My company has a Git repository hosted on our servers. We use TortoiseGit. I would like to integrate it with GitHub Issues.
Is this possible? Note that we do not host our repository on GitHub.
I have tried using the bugtraq settings on TortoiseGit but it doesn't interact with the repository I've set up on GitHub.
I would like to integrate it with GitHub Issues. Is this possible?
Integrate in this context is a very open concept. Which integrations are you looking for? If you're not hosting the code on the repository itself, any kind of integration will be hard, but it really depends on your specific goal with GitHub Issues and which kind of triggers and links you want from your code to your issues.
From experience if I assume that by integration you mean linking Git commits in your local repository to GitHub Issues the clear answer is no.
So if you really want to use GitHub Issues without pushing the Git code upstream, have you considered creating an empty project to just use GitHub Issues and GitHub Projects. You won't be able to reference issues from the commit message, i.e., Fixed issue found in #4 but you can use it as a standalone project management tool.
Trello offers a free tier for project management that you might also want to check out.
How do i check in code in Git Hub from Developer console.
I have been trying to browse, i saw we have to sync code to eclipse and then drop files to Git Hub.
Can anyone suggest me a standard way to do this please
The Salesforce Developer Console based out the UI cannot integrate with Git Hub to check in/out code. You'll have to do it with files stored locally either using your IDE or terminal. This is the same as working with any Git repo and really is unrelated to Salesforce.
There is a new feature called Salesforce DX that has a tighter integration with git repos, it's going beta in Summer 17.
I am trying to use a team services account to store other related documents for a project such as some spreadsheets. I want the client to have access to it, but they are not programmers so I am not wanting them to use VS.
The client can access it directly without a problem and can download files, the biggest issue is they will need to be able to upload files as well. Without using a client of some sort they are limited to 10mb or less which won't work for them.
I cannot seem to get github for the desktop to access my online repository unless I first go into VS and clone it.
I am trying to avoid having to walk the client through doing that and would like to be able to use a GUI like github desktop from end to end.
We are all in a Windows environment.
I can create a new repository in github desktop, but cannot seem to figure out how to connect it to my remote (I can't find the URL for the remote anywhere).
I feel I am so close but just missing a couple items, any push would be appreciated.
GitHub Desktop is for GitHub. GitHub is a Git repository hosting service. Not surprisingly, the GitHub tool only works with GitHub.
You can use any general-purpose Git client to interact with VSTS Git repos. SourceTree is good.
You can use some git GUI or git command line to operate local repo.
Git GUI: as Daniel Mann said, you can use soucetree, or tortoiseGit etc.
Git command line:
you can download git here ->
git clone https://account.visualstudio.com/_git/projectname ->
enter email and password to clone ->
git add . (when you add some files) ->
git commit -am 'message'(commit the changes you make) ->
git push(push your commits into VSTS git repo) ->
git pull(pull VSTS git repo changes to localt).
I am just closing this out, thank you to both folks who did answer. I understand that I am using GIT and that GitHub Desktop is for Github. I was looking for the best way to work with a Github repository without using VS and how to access the team services repo for a client of mine. I set him up with Gitkraken which is working. I was never able to figure out how to get Github Desktop to properly clone and push items, but I did not spend a ton of time in it once I used Gitkraken.
Thanks again for taking a swing at it.
I accepted the answer I did because suggesting using the command line at least shows a understanding of my question and what I was looking for.
I know I am late to the game but I can confirm that tortoise git and getext also work fine with VSTS
I have a site. I have local dev repo, an online github repo, and the live site (hosted by GoDaddy).
I want to do exactly what this person wants: linking github to my server
Can I do the remote repo thing with Godaddy? Any hints? (I'm a beginner at git stuff)
Thanks
This guide explains how to set up a remote and connect to a repo on your server: http://toroid.org/ams/git-website-howto
However, I haven't tried it. I'm also a git beginner, and it terrified me a little, so I'm sticking with a manual FTP step, for now. Good luck!
