Git setup

[cad97 9]

What is the proper way of setting up a git repo and mirroring it to Github/Bitbucket?

 

I've done git before, but only through NetBeans' automation of the process.

Initializing a Git repo and setting up a remote branch from the command line is pretty simple:

 

$ git init
$ git add .
$ git commit -am "first commit"
$ git remote add origin https://github.com/user/repo
$ git push -u origin master

 

Now, if you're talking about a Forge project specifically, it's a bit more involved, but not too bad either. You could have a look at my repo for an example.

And in case you are looking for a Git client outside of Netbeans I can only recommend SourceTree.

Well, there _is_ the GitHub GUI for Mac/Windows/Linux, but it's pretty limited. Personally, I prefer the command line :P

I use straight up Git. It works fine for me and it super simple.
