Cloud Kube | Create Github Repo

Create a GitHub Repository

Log into your github account and create a new github repository.

Name the repo (I’m using cloud_application), add a README and a .gitignore with the java template.

Create an Intellij Project

From the intellij welcome screen, pick new project

Name the project cloud_application. Use your domain as the group. Hit Next.

We only need the basic packages for now, so choose: DevTools, Lombok and Spring Web. Hit Finish.

We should now have a populated spring boot application

Link to the Github Repo

Now we need to associate our project to our github repo. We can do that with these commands:

$ git init
Initialized empty Git repository in C:/workspace/github/cloud_application/.git/

$ git remote add origin [email protected]:bullyrooks/cloud_application.git

$ git fetch
Enter passphrase for key '***':

remote: Counting objects: 100% (4/4), done.
remote: Compressing objects: 100% (3/3), done.
Unpacking objects: 100% (4/4), 847 bytes | 70.00 KiB/s, done.
remote: Total 4 (delta 0), reused 0 (delta 0), pack-reused 0
From github.com:bullyrooks/cloud_application
 * [new branch]      main       -> origin/main

$ git checkout origin/main -ft
Switched to a new branch 'main'
Branch 'main' set up to track remote branch 'main' from 'origin'.

You should now see a .gitignore and a README.md in your project

Now we’re going to push our initial project structure back up, but we’ll need to add files to .gitignore first. Add these entries to .gitignore.

.idea
*.iml
target

Additionally, since I’m working on windows I needed to update the permissions for the .mvnw file so that github actions can execute it.

$ git update-index --chmod=+x ./mvnw

now push up your changes

$ git add .

$ git commit -m "project init"

And that’s it for now.
