GitHub Questions

[calclavia]

I am trying to set up a GitHub repo for Universal Electricity. I am a 100% noob at GitHub and I'm trying to learn how to use it. How would I commit the entire project onto GitHub without including all the Minecraft src files that I don't need (without manually dragging it and organizing them)?

recompile then run getchangedsrc then copy and paste it in to the repo folder on your pc and then use then use git gui and then Stage Changed then commit and then go under the remote tag and push it to origin or use ctrl p

 

if it syas the repo is behind go under the remote tab and Fetch From origin then do the above

you wouldn't happen to know how to use the eclipse version of github would you? r

I don't think that works well with using mcp.

thats what i though when trying to use it. It wanted to use a file names after the mod and not the client src file.

This guy here helped me the most:

 

recompile then run getchangedsrc.bat then copy and paste it in to the repo folder on your pc and then use then use git gui and then Stage Changed then commit and then go under the remote tag and push it to origin or use ctrl p

though i share this trick really quick to help save time with moving the src to the repo each time. Just place this in the getChangedSrc.bat

xcopy /s/e/y C:\*MCPProjectLocation*\modsrc C:\*GitRepoLocation*

source for more info: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/986447/batch-file-to-copy-files-from-one-folder-to-another-folder

I think i'll mess with it a little more to auto forward to github for me too Forgot how easy bat file can make tasks

.gitignore files also work for this purpose. I use these to let me clone my project directly into mcp. The .gitignore files are set up in such a way to ignore the minecraft files.

 

This project uses .gitignore files to great effect.

hmm cool. would you know how to use the minecraft src file as a repo? so i don't have to move my files into another folder each time. Even though i'm good with the current set up i have. Got my bat to recompile, getChangedSrc, move to repo file and dump to my dropBox. Still working on GitHub part but that not auto sending has to do with me not looking up the commands yet .

Yeah there should be a tutorial on how to setup a repo for Minecraft Mods because it is not very similar in creating a repo for a average application.

That is exactly what the project I linked does.

[Geethebluesky]

Shouldn't this be part of the tutorials?

[ScottKillen]

Hmmm...probably!

 

I'll try and put something together.
