super-easy Git remote repository

1. Creating a remote repository before the local one

Step 1: create the folder on the remote server and initialise the empty bare repository
ssh username@yourserver mkdir yourgitremoterepo.git cd yourgitremoterepo.git git --bare init
Step 2: back to your machine, clone the repository
git clone username@yourserver:yourgitremoterepo.git

2. Making your existing local repository available on remote

Step 1: I assume that you have done something like this
cd yourlocalrepo git init git add . git commit -a -m "first commit"
Step 2: to create the remote repository, login to your remote server and initialise an empty bare repository
ssh username@yourserver mkdir yourgitremoterepo.git cd yourgitremoterepo.git git --bare init
Step 3: now back to your machine, link your remote repository with the local one and push all your files
git remote add origin username@yourserver:yourgitremoterepo.git git push origin master

done!

ignore .DS_Store forever in GIT

With a couple of little commands, you’ll be able to ignore the .DS_Store files forever from your git repositories on mac!

The following command will add the .gitignore file to the git configuration
git config --global core.excludesfile ~/.gitignore

then, the following, will add the .DS_Store to the list

echo .DS_Store >> ~/.gitignore

and voilà!
