Git Manage Remotes

 Task:

The xFusionCorp development team added updates to the project that is maintained under /opt/news.git repo and cloned under /usr/src/kodekloudrepos/news. 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/news repository as per details mentioned below:

a. In /usr/src/kodekloudrepos/news repo add a new remote dev_news and point it to /opt/xfusioncorp_news.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.

Step 1) Login to the Storage Server as a root user

thor@jump_host /opt$ ssh natasha@ststor01

The authenticity of host 'ststor01 (172.16.238.15)' can't be established.

ECDSA key fingerprint is SHA256:vJAsZuUSoXH3n5luk4cHC4hGeA8s8cFXoy5mo2CkOCY.

ECDSA key fingerprint is MD5:33:5e:d1:86:a5:91:28:d8:fd:f6:7d:6b:83:7a:82:83.

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.

Step 2) Validate Repository location

[root@ststor01 ~]# cd /usr/src/kodekloudrepos/news

[root@ststor01 news]# ls -rlt

total 4

-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 34 May 30 03:23 info.txt

[root@ststor01 news]# cd /opt/

[root@ststor01 opt]# ls -rlt

total 8

drwxr-xr-x 7 root root 4096 May 30 03:23 news.git

drwxr-xr-x 7 root root 4096 May 30 03:23 xfusioncorp_news.git

Step 3)  In /usr/src/kodekloudrepos/news repo add a new remote dev_news and point it to /opt/xfusioncorp_news.git repository.

[root@ststor01 news]# git remote add dev_news /opt/xfusioncorp_news.git

Step 4) There is a file /tmp/index.html on same server; copy this file to the repo and add/commit to master branch.

[root@ststor01 news]# cp /tmp/index.html .

[root@ststor01 news]# git add index.html

[root@ststor01 news]# git commit -m "add index.html"

[master ca81dc7] add index.html

 1 file changed, 10 insertions(+)

 create mode 100644 index.html

Step 5)  Finally push master branch to this new remote origin.

[root@ststor01 news]# git push -u dev_news master
