Using GIT(Bitbucket), Visual Studio Code

Concept of Git

Git has two repositories; local and remote. Two different commands type to commit the changes; 1. commit/add: load/save changes to the local repository. 2. push/pull/clone: load/save changes from/to remote repository.

How to setup remote git server , bitbucket, with Visual Studio Code

To use git, I downloaded it from [git-scm](“https://git-scm.com/downloads“) and installed with bash mode to keep the comparability for different platform.

• Set up remote repository *
  
  1. Create project from bitbucket. In this case, I created “blogmarkdown”.
  2. Remember the URL for the git repository. To find out the repository, just add “.git” at the end of the URL from bitbucket. For me, it will be “https://alexjoh@bitbucket.org/alexjoh/blogmarkdown.git”
• Link the remote with local folder *
  
  
  1. Create local folder. In my case, I created d:\gitrepo
  2. Initialize git local repo. Change the folder to the gitrepo and run git init
  3. If there are existing files from a remote git repository, adding remote site. Run git remote add origin https://alexjoh@bitbucket.org/alexjoh/blogmarkdown.git
  4. Copying all remote files to local repository. Run git clone https://alexjoh@bitbucket.org/alexjoh/blogmarkdown.git
  5. Set globe parameter
  git config –global user.email “username@email.com”
  git config –global user.name “bitbucket-username”
  git config –global push.default simple
• Store login credential
  git config credential.helper store
  git push https://bitbucket.org/alexjoh/blogmarkdown.git

Note
If there is error about “error: src refspec master does not match any. error: failed to push some refs to ‘https://bitbucket.org/alexjoh/blogmarkdown.git‘. Please make sure that you are on the right folder. In my case, the folder path should be “/d/GitRepo/blogmarkdown”. When I tried at “/d/GitRepo”, I had this error.
