Getting startedYour first repository

Your first repository

Repositories are created from the + menu at the top right of every page, or from the New Repository button on your dashboard.

The form

  • Owner: you, or one of your organisations.
  • Name: becomes the last part of the address, git.gitza.co.za/you/your-repo.
  • Visibility: private repositories are visible only to you and the people you add; public ones are readable by anyone. Both are free.
  • Initialise repository: adds a README, a .gitignore for your language and a licence, so the repository has a first commit. Leave this off if you are about to push an existing project, otherwise the histories will not share a root and the first push is rejected.

Pushing into it

From inside the project directory:

git remote add origin git@git.gitza.co.za:you/your-repo.git
git push -u origin main

If the project already has a remote called origin pointing somewhere else, replace it instead:

git remote set-url origin git@git.gitza.co.za:you/your-repo.git
git push -u origin --all
git push -u origin --tags

What is on a repository page

The tabs across the top are the ones you expect: Code, Issues, Pull Requests, Releases, Wiki, Activity and Settings. Settings is where you add collaborators, protect branches, add webhooks and deploy keys, and change visibility.
