Setting up a remote repository on GitHub

See the instructions at:

Cloning the remote GitHub repository to your local Moodle installation

  1. Change to the parent folder for your plug-in
  2. Clone the repository: git clone https://nakohdo@GitHub.com/nakohdo/moodle-filter_autolinkhijacker.git
  3. Rename the folder to your plug-in's name
  4. Open Git Bash in that folder

Creating a local branch

  1. Open Git Bash in the plug-in folder
  2. Create new branch: git branch MOODLE_19_STABLE
  3. Change to the new branch: git checkout MOODLE_19_STABLE
    • Both steps in one: git checkout -b MOODLE_19_STABLE

Creating a remote branch

Note: It might be better using "remote" first to create the remote branch. And usually it's best if both branches have the same name. --Frank Ralf 12:59, 18 July 2011 (WST)

  1. Change to the correct local branch
  2. git push origin -u MOODLE_19_STABLE
    Using different names for local and remote branch: $ git push origin local_19_STABLE:MOODLE_19_STABLE
