Git: Working with remote platforms

Introduction:

 

If you remember, last week's topic was how to work with branches using this powerfull tool called git.

In today's entry, we'll discuss why using a external platform and how.

 

Let's begin.

 

Why should I use a remote platform?

 

• Have Your Code Reviewed by the Community:

The more people you have to review your project, the more attention and use it is likely to attract.

• Collaborate and Track Changes in Your Code Across Versions

• Use Multiple Integration Options

• Follow the Open-Source Trend

• Find Talent for Your Organization

• Develop and Implement a Management Strategy: 

Projects can be managed in whatever way is best for your staff and your organization's needs.

 
How do I use a remote platform? 

   

There are several platforms out there, but the most common ones are Github, Gitlab and BitBucket.

In this case, I'll use the most known among the internet, github.

At first, once you're registered on it, It will require a new repository, I'ts kinda simple, but I'll guide through it to avoid mistakes.

Follow this scheme at first and once you're done, It will show you an start guide like this one:

At this stage it's up to you wheter to use an existing folder or to follow the tutorial to create a new one.


In this explanation, I'll use an existing one, from the previous post.
The way to use is simply copy and paste those commands.

git remote add origin URL

git push -u origin master
