Pushing Code to CodeHub Using Eclipse

Background

You can install EGit on Eclipse so that Eclipse can be connected with CodeHub and be used for operations such as committing code from a local Git repository to a remote one.

Only Eclipse 4.4 or later versions are supported.

• For the first push:
  1. Create a repository on the local computer, that is, the local repository.
  2. Commit the update to the local repository.
  3. Pull the code from the server to the local repository, merge the code, and push the repository to the server.

• If it is not the first push:
  1. Commit the modified code to the local repository.
  2. Pull the code from the server to the local repository, merge the code, and push the repository to the server.
