Git-tracked Meteor Project Workflow

1. Create a new git repo

$ cd desiredDirectory
$ mkdir "new-git-repo"
$ cd new-git-repo
$ git init # initializes a local git repo
$ gitclick create # see
$ git remote add origin https://github.com/riongull/new-git-repo.git
$ git push -u origin master # shorthand for git push origin master —-set-upstream, I think

2. Create a meteor project in git project

$ meteor create <meteor-project-name> (without the arrows)

• This adds a folder called meteor-project-name under github-repo-name
• It also adds meteor-project-name.html/.css/.js files and a .meteor folder under meteor-project-name

starting from previous step

$ cd ./github-repo-name # nav in terminal to git folder
$ git status # checks status of git

The meteor-project-name should be listed as tracked, but not added (it’s red)

$ git add meteor-project-name # adds folder to git staging (ready to commit)

use git add -A (or git add . ?) to add (stage) all files in the directory

$ git status # files and folders should be green now
$ git commit -m "description of new changes" # commits changes to git (not github yet)
$ git push # pushes (uploads) newly committed files to github (finally syncing local and remote repos)

If working in a team

 git pull # pulls in changes from the remote master repo before pushing any changes up
