Git / Github

Clone request​

  • HTTPS with PAT
git clone https://username:token@github.com/username/repo.git

You can also use above command, if you entered git username and password instead of PAT the first time git ask you to authenticate, and you keep getting following error: remote: HTTP Basic: Access denied. The provided password or token is incorrect or your account has 2FA enabled and you must use a personal access token instead of a password

Show remote url​

git config --get remote.origin.url
git remote show origin

Remove directory from remote repository after adding them to .gitignore​

git rm -r --cached .idea
git commit -m "Removed idea folder from repository"
git push origin main

--cached tells git that you want to keep your local copies of the files

Bind a project to a remote repository​

git init
git add .
git commit -m "Initial commit"
git remote add origin https://github.com/.../....git
git branch -M main
git push -u origin main

In the end you should force push git push -f branch_name
