Push Branch with Git

These instructions will walk you through how to push a branch of development with git. Note: I use Windows10, so this instructions are based on that.

Before you begin, you will need:

• Local development environment set up.

• a git bash installed on your local system.

• Git installed on the linux system. (sudo apt-get install git)

• A username/token in gitlab (how to set up token)

Instructions

Here are the step-by-step instructions for how to do a push to a branch.

Go to the folder of your local system. Right click and open git bash.

Configure git:

$ git config --global user.name "John Doe"
$ git config --global user.email johndoe@example.com

Make sure you are in the folder you want to push (using cd..)

Then, initialize git.

git init
git remote add origin https://[your username]:[your token]@gitlab.com/stacey5/mindlink-theme.git

Now time to create the commit:

git add .
git commit -m "note about the commit"

 Now let’s create the branch and push!

git checkout -b [branch name, like [date]-frank]
git push -u origin branch name

Once you’re done, you can request a merge to the master from me. I’ll approve and it should update everything! Boom!
