[Extra Quality] Download Files From Git Repository Command Line
Irma Wave
Files that you add to a repository via a browser are limited to 25 MiB per file. You can add larger files, up to 100 MiB each, via the command line. For more information, see "Adding a file to a repository using the command line." To add files larger than 100 MiB, you must use Git Large File Storage. For more information, see "About large files on GitHub."
GitHub CLI is an open source tool for using GitHub from your computer's command line. GitHub CLI can simplify the process of adding an existing project to GitHub using the command line. To learn more about GitHub CLI, see "About GitHub CLI."
Note: If you're most comfortable with a point-and-click user interface, consider adding your project with GitHub Desktop instead. For more information, see "Adding a repository from your local computer to GitHub Desktop."
If your locally-hosted code isn't tracked by any VCS, the first step is to initialize a Git repository. If your project is already tracked by Git, skip to "Importing a Git repository with the command line."
To create a repository for your project on GitHub, use the gh repo create subcommand. When prompted, select Push an existing local repository to GitHub and enter the desired name for your repository. If you want your project to belong to an organization instead of your user account, specify the organization name and project name with organization-name/project-name.
Create a new repository on GitHub.com. To avoid errors, do not initialize the new repository with README, license, or gitignore files. You can add these files after your project has been pushed to GitHub. For more information, see "Creating a new repository."

$ git remote add origin remote repository URL # Sets the new remote git remote -v# Verifies the new remote URL Note: GitHub for Windows users should use the command git remote set-url origin instead of git remote add origin here. Push the changes in your local repository to GitHub.
Come to your local project directory. If you want to publish your code to this new repository you just created, make sure that in the projects root directory there is no folder name .git. If there is, delete it.Run command git init.
The best way to use Git is to actually start Gitting. Try out this website which makes you go step by step on what are the essential ways for performing functions on command line for pushing a project on GitHub.
Note: in the above command git remote add origin -repo-name.git please change the bold sections with your GitHub account name and your repository name.
/var/cache/apt/archives is world readable. After apt-get -d, just extract it from there to your home directory. Run dpkg -e /var/cache/apt/archives/foo_version.deb foo while in your home directory and the control files will be dumped into foo/.
If you want to start version-controlling existing files (as opposed to an empty directory), you should probably begin tracking those files and do an initial commit.You can accomplish that with a few git add commands that specify the files you want to track, followed by a git commit:
TortoiseSVN will set a custom folder icon when it creates a repository so you can identify local repositories more easily. If you create a repository using the official command line client this folder icon is not assigned.
i have an exitsing code on my local drive and i have created a empty (new ) repo in the bit bucket. now i want to push the code to the repo using the source tree. i dont want to clone to a new folder and copy the files allover instead i want to commit the existing folder to the repo using source tree not the command line way. Please let me know if anyone has a solution to this.
I think it is because I recently changed the Lock rules of the repository to stop locking .uasset files and I think the "lock state" of these files must have been lost somewhere. They've maybe never been "unlocked" officially. It's more an annoyance than anything because each time we're saving our Unreal project we've got a source control warning from these files but we can still "make them writable" to save what we've done. This warning is getting old quick though ^^
Problem is: I'm using Windows and I have no idea what and where the "command line" tool is. I'm feeling pretty dumb actually. I tried opening "cm.exe" since the command lines start with "cm" but to no avail. Can someone help me and specify exactly what tool I should launch?
Git is a distributed version control system, meaning the entire history of the repository is transferred to the client during the cloning process. For projects containing large files, particularly large files that are modified regularly, this initial clone can take a huge amount of time, as every version of every file has to be downloaded by the client. Git LFS (Large File Storage) is a Git extension developed by Atlassian, GitHub, and a few other open source contributors, that reduces the impact of large files in your repository by downloading the relevant versions of them lazily. Specifically, large files are downloaded during the checkout process rather than during cloning or fetching.
2. When you push new commits to the server, any Git LFS files referenced by the newly pushed commits are transferred from your local Git LFS cache to the remote Git LFS store tied to your Git repository.
To use Git LFS, you will need a Git LFS aware host such as Bitbucket Cloud or Bitbucket Data Center. Repository users will need to have the Git LFS command-line client installed, or a Git LFS aware GUI client such as Sourcetree. Fun fact: Steve Streeting, the Atlassian developer who invented Sourcetree, is also a major contributor to the Git LFS project, so Sourcetree and Git LFS work together rather well.
Once Git LFS is installed, you can clone a Git LFS repository as normal using git clone. At the end of the cloning process Git will check out the default branch (usually main), and any Git LFS files needed to complete the checkout process will be automatically downloaded for you. For example:
Rather than downloading Git LFS files one at a time, the git lfs clone command waits until the checkout is complete, and then downloads any required Git LFS files as a batch. This takes advantage of parallelized downloads, and dramatically reduces the number of HTTP requests and processes spawned (which is especially important for improving performance on Windows).
These patterns are relative to the directory in which you ran the git lfs track command. To keep things simple, it is best to run git lfs track from the root of your repository. Note that Git LFS does not support negative patterns like .gitignore does.
After running git lfs track, you'll notice a new file named .gitattributes in the directory you ran the command from. .gitattributes is a Git mechanism for binding special behaviors to certain file patterns. Git LFS automatically creates or updates .gitattributes files to bind tracked file patterns to the Git LFS filter. However, you will need to commit any changes to the .gitattributes file to your repository yourself:
For ease of maintenance, it is simplest to keep all Git LFS patterns in a single .gitattributes file by always running git lfs track from the root of your repository. However, you can display a list of all patterns that are currently tracked by Git LFS (and the .gitattributes files they are defined in) by invoking git lfs track with no arguments:
You can commit and push as normal to a repository that contains Git LFS content. If you have committed changes to files tracked by Git LFS, you will see some additional output from git push as the Git LFS content is transferred to the server:
Unfortunately, there is no easy way of resolving binary merge conflicts. With Git LFS file locking, you can lock files by extension or by file name and prevent binary files from being overwritten during a merge.
In order to take advantage of LFS' file locking feature, you first need to tell Git which type of files are lockable. In the example below, the `--lockable` flag is appended to the `git lfs track` command which both stores PSD files in LFS and marks them as lockable.
You can also add a README and create a .gitignore for the type of code you plan to manage in the repo. A README contains information about the code in your repo. The .gitignore file tells Git which types of files to ignore, such as temporary build files from your development environment.
Open the Git command window (Git Bash on Git for Windows). Then, browse to the folder where you want the code from the repo stored on your computer. Run git clone followed by the path copied from the Clone URL in the previous section, as shown in the following example.
