tutorial: Git push this website via terminal

Tutorial

works with this setup

• pc with linux + git installed

set up the project

• enter your preferred project directory
• git clone https://edit.htgaa.org/my-username/webpages.git (replace my-username with your real username, or copied the full url from the website)
• check your directory
• add credential helper
  • git config --local credential.helper store
  • how it works: When you push from this directory, it will ask for your credentials one last time and save them to ~/.git-credentials.

update webpages

go to the root directory of the project then enter this command.

git add .
git commit -m 'add content'
git push

then enter your username and password

remarks

• It is recommended to remove the .git-credentials after finished with the project (when the course is finished) for security reasons.
• rm ~/.git-credentials
