GitForce and github

Assuming that you already have a github account, but the project that you'd like to share on github is currently only on your PC and you would like to upload it to a github.

Create a new repository on the github ("Dashboard" -> "New Repository")

If the sources on your PC is not added to git yet

• Open GitForce and select "Repository" -> "New"

• Select "New empty working repository (with or without your files already in), "Next"

• Browse to the root folder of your project and select it, "OK"

• Add your files to the index by dragging them from the left pane and onto a changelist pane

• Submit your changes by "Changelist" -> "Submit"

Your project should now be added to git and managed by GitForce.

We will be using SSH to transfer files:

• On the github project page, click on the SSH (on the bar with options "SSH | HTTP | Git Read-Only") and copy the link to clipboard: 

• In GitForce, click on the "Settings" -> "Edit Remote Repos..." to bring up the remote repository dialog

• Click on the "Add" to add a new remote: paste the link from github into both "Fetch URL:" and "Push URL:" fields 

• Click "OK" and "Done"

Now we need to generate our local private/public key pair, upload public key to github and add github's public key to our set of known hosts.

This particular setup differs on Windows and Linux:

• For Windows, click here.

• For Linux, your existing git command line SSH configuration should work.

After you have setup SSH, click on the "Settings" -> "Push to Remote" (or click on the green up arrow on the toolbar) to initiate git push command.

Your project should now be updated with the files you pushed.
