Git Manage Remotes

Question :  The xFusionCorp development team added updates to the project that is maintained under /opt/apps.git repo and cloned under /usr/src/kodekloudrepos/apps. Recently some changes were made on Git server that is hosted on Storage server in Stratos DC. The DevOps team added some new Git remotes, so we need to update remote on /usr/src/kodekloudrepos/apps repository as per details mentioned below:

a. In /usr/src/kodekloudrepos/apps repo add a new remote dev_apps and point it to /opt/xfusioncorp_apps.git repository.

b. There is a file /tmp/index.html on same server; copy this file to the repo and add/commit to master branch.

c. Finally push master branch to this new remote origin.

Please Note:-  Perform the below commands based on your question server,  user name & other details that might differ. So please read the task carefully before executing it.

All the Best 👍

Solution:   

1. At first login on storage server  & Switch to  root user 

thor@jump_host ~$ ssh natasha@ststor01 The authenticity of host 'ststor01 (172.16.238.15)' can't be established. ECDSA key fingerprint is SHA256:f2NFHNBtdYn2B0j54dhSIiO4QXPBZctekutOmuXdyWc. ECDSA key fingerprint is MD5:e3:54:0f:c3:51:7b:33:d2:38:06:b2:80:25:99:a1:52. Are you sure you want to continue connecting (yes/no)? yes Warning: Permanently added 'ststor01,172.16.238.15' (ECDSA) to the list of known hosts. natasha@ststor01's password: [natasha@ststor01 ~]$ sudo su -  We trust you have received the usual lecture from the local System Administrator. It usually boils down to these three things:      #1) Respect the privacy of others.     #2) Think before you type.     #3) With great power comes great responsibility.  [sudo] password for natasha: [root@ststor01 ~]#

  2. Navigate to the cloned directory 

[root@ststor01 ~]# cd /usr/src/kodekloudrepos/apps [root@ststor01 apps]# ll total 4 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 34 Jul 17 08:01 info.txt [root@ststor01 apps]#

3. Add Remote repo as per the task  (refer to Video below for more clarity)

    

[root@ststor01 apps]# git remote add dev_apps /opt/xfusioncorp_apps.git [root@ststor01 apps]#

4. Copy HTML file from tmp to repo and add

    

[root@ststor01 apps]# cp /tmp/index.html . [root@ststor01 apps]# ll total 8 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 120 Jul 17 08:13 index.html -rw-r--r-- 1 root root  34 Jul 17 08:01 info.txt [root@ststor01 apps]#

6. Git initialize the new remote repo    

   

[root@ststor01 apps]# git init Reinitialized existing Git repository in /usr/src/kodekloudrepos/apps/.git/ [root@ststor01 apps]#

7.  Add and commit the index.html file 

   

[root@ststor01 apps]# git add index.html [root@ststor01 apps]# git commit -m "add index.html" [master 0fa0e06] add index.html  1 file changed, 10 insertions(+)  create mode 100644 index.html [root@ststor01 apps]#

8. Finally push the master branch to this new remote origin.

[root@ststor01 apps]# git push -u dev_apps  master Counting objects: 6, done. Delta compression using up to 48 threads. Compressing objects: 100% (4/4), done. Writing objects: 100% (6/6), 582 bytes | 0 bytes/s, done. Total 6 (delta 0), reused 0 (delta 0) To /opt/xfusioncorp_apps.git  * [new branch]      master -> master Branch master set up to track remote branch master from dev_apps. [root@ststor01 apps]#
