Four ways to get files into a git repository
First published on the pushpanel.io blog as “How to upload files into git repositories” and archived here. The original domain is no longer ours, so links to it were removed and the headline rewritten for this site; the text of the post is unchanged.
Using WEB GUI
Easiest. It is useful for making fast individual small changes.
- Login to PushPanel account
- Select a theme or plugin from the navigation
- Click on repository
- On the top left use button to upload file or edit.
- Confirm by clicking commit.
Using git GUI client
Moderate, require installation of a graphical user interface (GUI) git client and follow steps:
- Install a git GUI client on a PC: https://git-scm.com/download/gui/
- Download code from https://git.pushpanel.io/<companyname>/<project>
- Replace/add new files inside a tool (usually, it does this thing automatically)
- Commit files into a local repository
- Push changes to PushPanel repository.
Using git client console
Advanced, require console shell and commands. It is the fastest way of updating/changing things but also requires learning how git works.
- install git-client https://git-scm.com/download/
- open console: cmd, shell, bash
- git clone https://git.pushpanel.io/<companyname>/<project>/<project>.git
- change/replace files ( do not delete )
- git add <path-to-the-file> <path-to-the-file2> <path-to-the-folder/*>
- git commit -m ‘reason of changes’
- git push
