Creating git repositories on public source forges

Last updated: 20211215
 

 Create local directory:

 
      mkdir <repository name> && cd $_
 

Create repository on GitLab/Hub:

 
      GitLab:
          Menu -> Create new project -> Create blank project
      GitHub:
          TBD
 

Initialize local repository and push initial commit:

      git init --initial-branch=master
      git config --global user.name "Kevin Bowen"
      git config --global user.email "kevin.bowen@gmail.com"
      git remote add origin git@gitlab.com:kevinbowen/sampleproject.git
      # git remote add origin git@github.com:kevinbowen777/sampleproject.git
      git add .
      git commit -m "initial commit"
      git push -u origin master
