Hey, how can I put my existing mod source into a new repository on GitHub? I cant find a tutorial to do this in Eclipse. I already have a GitHub account.

I am using the external software sourcetree.

Hey, how can I put my existing mod source into a new repository on GitHub? I cant find a tutorial to do this in Eclipse. I already have a GitHub account.

First, create the repository. Then, clone it, I recommend using Source Tree. Then, set up a new forge workspace in the folder you cloned the repository to. Next, you should probably create a .gitignore file, similar to https://bitbucket.org/The_Fireplace/fireplace-core/src/56815ff806fab68257cbcb79cd91ee3b348aa325/.gitignore?at=master . Next, move the contents of the src folder in your old workspace to this new one.

Not working, I cant publish to the server

 

just look up a sourcetree tut.. there are tons of them

Not working, I cant publish to the server

Once you have that done, to push to the server, you first need to commit your changes, then, push them to the server. In source tree, when you push to the server for the first time, you will have to check the box next to the word master.

I have a tutorial on this: http://jabelarminecraft.blogspot.com/p/minecraft-forge-publishing-to-github.html

 

This tutorial uses Sourcetree, which I recommend (like the others posting above). It is a graphical interface to git so you don't have to do command line stuff. Some people like to say "real programmers use command line" but honestly why not use a good graphical interface when it is available -- you can see graphical representation of your branching and everything.

Thanks so much!
