1. Git :

Install Git on Xubuntu.

Launch terminator.

sudo apt install git
sudo apt install gitk git-gui

After installation compeleted, you can verify it by typing: git --version

Set up your name and email

In terminal, type:

git config --global user.name "your.name"  
git config --global user.email [email protected]

This will change the values in ~/.gitconfig or ~/.config/git/config, which is specific to the current user.

If you want it to be available for every user in your system, use --system instead of --global.
Or you only want it to be available for the current repository, use --local.

2. GitHub SSH Key

Generate a new SSH key and add it to your GitHub account.

Follow the first five steps in: https://docs.github.com/articles/generating-an-ssh-key/

3. Git repository:

A Git repository is a virtual storage of your project. Usually we put it in /home/repo

In terminal, create the directory and set its ownership.

sudo mkdir /home/repo
sudo chown name:name /home/repo

There are three copies of repositories (called repo for short) that concern you:

  • In GitHub, open liferay-portal repo. This is the remote parent repo called upstream.

  • Click Fork at the top-right corner, select your own account. The page will jump to your-name/liferay-portal, which is your own remote repo called origin.

  • After forking, you need to clone the repo to your computer as a local repo.

Considering the size of repo and the network, we usually copy it directly from the USB disk to the computer instead of using git clone command.

  1. Copy liferay-portal.tar to /home/repo . In terminal, untar it by typing:
    cd /home/repo
    tar xvf liferay-portal.tar

  1. Go to your forked repo on GitHub, click code, copy the SSH URL.

  2. In terminal, add or change the origin connection:

    cd liferay-portal
    git remote add origin ${SSH URL} / git remote set-url origin ${SSH URL}
  1. Make sure your local repo and origin repo up to date, type:
    git pull upstream master
    git push origin master

Once you complete, here are two commands used to check:

git status displays the state of the working directory and the staging area.

git remote -v displays origin and upstream connections with the URL of each one.

4. GitHub CLI

GitHub CLI is the official GitHub command line.

Add a reference to the package repository.

sudo apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-key C99B11DEB97541F0
sudo apt-add-repository https://cli.github.com/packages

Install GitHub CLI.

sudo apt install gh
