Git is a distributed revision control system designed and developed by Linus Torvalds.
Every Git clone is a full fledged repository with a complete history and full revision tracking capabilities, not dependant on
network access or a central repository server.

Procedure
- Lets assume you created a project called: ~robertlie/mobilefish_web_files
It it recommended to use a single word projectname.
This project contains multiple subdirectories with one or more files in each subdirectory.
You now want to version control your project by creating a git repository in Bitbucket.
- Create a Bitbucket account and login.
- In the Bitbucket environment create a repository with the same name as your project: mobilefish_web_files
This repository can be accessed with URL:
https://[email protected]/your_bitbucket_username/
mobilefish_web_files.git
- Enter the following commands:
- Type: cd mobilefish_web_files
- Create a mobilefish_web_files/.gitignore file.
Add the following line in the .gitignorefile file.
In this example .DS_Store will not be version controlled:
.DS_Store
- Type: git init
- Type: git add .
- Type: git commit -m "Initial version"
- Type: git remote add origin https://[email protected]/your_bitbucket_username/
mobilefish_web_files.git
- Type: git push -u origin master
- Your local mobilefish_web_files project is now uploaded to the remote repository and git version controlled.
