GIT: convert local files to git repository
Posted by danielJul 10
git – add local files to a git repository in local file system (bare git repo).
In this blow, I will show you how you can turn your local files into a github style repository. In my case I had files in `/etc/puppet` that I wanted to version control, but I wanted to push to a bare repository in the same machine or localhost. Here are the steps I followed –
Files to version control : /etc/puppet
Bare git repository that we will push changes in /etc/puppet : /var/lib/puppet/gitrepo/
1. Create a github style git repository in /var/lib/puppet/gitrepo
root@linubuvmb:/# mkdir -p /var/lib/puppet/gitrepo && cd /var/lib/puppet/gitrepo root@linubuvmb:/var/lib/puppet/gitrepo# git --bare init Initialized empty Git repository in /var/lib/puppet/gitrepo/
2. Initialize files as git repository
root@linubuvmb:/# cd /etc/puppet root@linubuvmb:/etc/puppet# git init Initialized empty Git repository in /etc/puppet/.git/ root@linubuvmb:/etc/puppet# git add . root@linubuvmb:/etc/puppet# git commit -m 'First commit' [master (root-commit) b71ef42] First commit 50 files changed, 3913 insertions(+) create mode 100644 auth.conf create mode 100644 environments/example_env/README.environment create mode 100755 etckeeper-commit-post create mode 100755 etckeeper-commit-pre create mode 100644 fileserver.conf create mode 100644 manifests/base.pp create mode 100644 manifests/nodes.pp create mode 100644 manifests/site.pp create mode 100644 modules/apache/manifests/init.pp ...
3. Add bare repo as remote
root@linubuvmb:/etc/puppet# git remote add origin file:///var/lib/puppet/gitrepo/
4. Push to local git repository
root@linubuvmb:/etc/puppet# git push -u origin master Counting objects: 84, done. Delta compression using up to 2 threads. Compressing objects: 100% (70/70), done. Writing objects: 100% (84/84), 129.33 KiB | 0 bytes/s, done. Total 84 (delta 6), reused 0 (delta 0) To file:///var/lib/puppet/gitrepo/ * [new branch] master -> master Branch master set up to track remote branch master from origin. root@linubuvmb:/etc/puppet# git status On branch master Your branch is up-to-date with 'origin/master'. Changes not staged for commit: (use "git add <file>..." to update what will be committed) (use "git checkout -- <file>..." to discard changes in working directory) modified: puppet.conf no changes added to commit (use "git add" and/or "git commit -a") root@linubuvmb:/etc/puppet# git commit -a [master f57997d] test 1 file changed, 1 deletion(-) root@linubuvmb:/etc/puppet# git status On branch master Your branch is ahead of 'origin/master' by 1 commit. (use "git push" to publish your local commits) nothing to commit, working directory clean
