h1. Initializing and synchronizing a Git repository

This documentation explains how to create a Git repository synchronized with a SurceForge project. For ease of use, we will assume in the following that the project identifier and the repository name are identical : @my_project@.

h2. Repository initialization and remote configuration

Create a new directory named after @my_project@ and initialize a Git structure inside it.

<pre>

mkdir my_project

cd my_project

git init

</pre>

Connect the local repository to the remote SourceForge, this links is named @origin@.

<pre>

git remote add origin https://sourceforge.isae.fr/git/my_project

</pre>

h2. First commit and push to the remote directory

Create and add a dummy file to the repository (to be adapted to something useful).

<pre>

echo "This is a test file" > file1.txt

git add file1.txt

</pre>

Commit the changes locally and push the changes to the remote repository.

<pre>

git commit -m "My first commit including a dummy file"

git push origin master

</pre>

Notice that the last instruction can be abbreviated by @git push@ if the remote identifier and branch are set as default.

<pre>

git push --set-upstream origin master

</pre>
