## Commands for Remotes
|
|
1. List all your remote repositories and show their URLs:
|
|
```
|
|
git remote -v
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
2. View details about a remote repo named `origin`, including all the remote branches and local tracking branches for `origin`:
|
|
```
|
|
git remote show origin
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
3. (Pushing a new branch) You commit some files to the `dev-foo` branch and try to "push" them to Github, but it fails as shown here:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
cmd> git checkout dev-foo
|
|
cmd> git push
|
|
fatal: The current branch dev-foo has no upstream branch.
|
|
```
|
|
Explain this error.
|
|
> This error occurs because the local branch `dev-foo` does not have an associated remote tracking branch. We can fix this by using the command `git push -u origin dev-foo` to establish a tracking relationship.
|
|
|
|
|
|
4. The command to push `dev-foo` to `origin` as a **new remote branch** on `origin` is:
|
|
```
|
|
git push origin dev-foo
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
5. (Create a local tracking branch for a remote branch) The remote repository (`origin`) has a branch named `e2e-test` that you don't have in your local repository.
|
|
The command to create a new local branch as a copy of the remote `e2e-test` branch that **tracks** the remote branch is:
|
|
```
|
|
git checkout -b e2e-test origin/e2e-test
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
6. The command to change the URL of the remote "origin" to a new URL, such as `https://hostname/newuser/new-repo-name`, is:
|
|
```
|
|
git remote set-url origin https://hostname/newuser/new-repo-name
|
|
```
|
|
This situation occurs when:
|
|
- you change the name of a repo on Github
|
|
- you transfer ownership of a Github repo to someone else
|
|
- you move from Github to another hosting site, like Bitbucket
|
|
- you want to switch from the https to the ssh protocol (the remote URL is different)
|
|
|
|
8. To create a *second* remote repository for your local repo, the command to add a remote named "bitbucket" with the URL "https://bitbucket.org/your-username/git-commands" is:
|
|
```
|
|
git remote add bitbucket https://bitbucket.org/your-username/git-commands
|
|
```
|
|
- Note: you must **create** an empty repo on Bitbucket. This command just adds it as a remote, it won't create the remote repo.
