I just started using Bitbucket as a new service to host masters of my source code repositories using Git. If you develop with Grails (like I also do more often) and ever asked yourself how to create a Git repository out of an existing project, here is the solution.
Afterwards, the
Afterwards it should look like this (might differ on your side):
This will initialize the repository, a folder named
The configuration what to store and what to omit is now being saved in the repo. You can add and commit all your project files now:
Great. If you want to see which files have been committed to the repo, type
Rem.: You can find your correct URL in the dashboard view of your repository in the bitbucket UI. You can also use SSH instead of https.
Last but not least commit your repo to bitbucket:
Et voila, you repository has been uploaded and you can use your newly created distributed infrastructure.
Prerequisits
Of course you need to have Git installt locally on your machine. If you haven't here are instructions on how to do it (if your a Mac user, I find this Mac OS X installer very useful). Of course you also need an account for bitbucket.org. It's free and easy to set up. In addition to your account you need to create an empty repository. Follow the guidance on the Bitbucket site, it's quite easy.Prepare your grails project
As you do not want to store all your files in the repository, you need to create a so called.gitignore file. To do so, you can use a grails command:
> grails integrate-with --gitAfterwards, the
.gitignore file has been created. If you are using the Grovy & Grails Tool Suite I propose to open the file in a text editor and to add the following line to it:
/target-eclipse/Afterwards it should look like this (might differ on your side):
*.iws*Db.properties*Db.script.settingsstacktrace.log/*.zip/plugin.xml/*.log/*DB.*/cobertura.ser.DS_Store/target//out//web-app/plugins/web-app/WEB-INF/classes/target-eclipse/
Create a local repository
Now we can create a local repository. Open a terminal window and go to the root folder of your project. Initialize the local Git repository:
> git initThis will initialize the repository, a folder named
.git is being create to store the repository.
Now add and commit the .gitignore file to the repository and commit.
> git add .gitignore> git commit -m "add .gitignore file"The configuration what to store and what to omit is now being saved in the repo. You can add and commit all your project files now:
> git add .> git commit -m "add initial project to repositoryGreat. If you want to see which files have been committed to the repo, type
> git ls-tree -r master
Upload to Bitbucket
Now you can upload your file to bitbucket. Set the bitbucket repo tho the remote origin of your local repo
> git remote add origin https://myname@bitbucket.org/myname/mynewrepo.gitRem.: You can find your correct URL in the dashboard view of your repository in the bitbucket UI. You can also use SSH instead of https.
Last but not least commit your repo to bitbucket:
> git push -u origin --allEt voila, you repository has been uploaded and you can use your newly created distributed infrastructure.
Very nice and helpful tutorial. Could you please show how to push any updates in the project, after going through the steps you have nicely explained above. Thank you!
AntwortenLöschen@ Tikeswar:
AntwortenLöschenonce you've pushed the grails project to the bitbucket repo, you can handle it as you would do with any other git project, e.g.
- adding new files to the local repo: git add .
- committing to your local repo: git commit -m "my comment"
- pushing to the remote repo: git push origin master
The ".gitignore" files ensures that only the necessary files are pushed to the remote.
