Pushing code from an existing repository

This topic describes how to push code from an existing repository on your local machine to Cloud Source Repositories.

Before you begin

You must have a repository in Cloud Source Repositories. To create a repository, see Creating an empty repository.

Push a local repository into Cloud Source Repositories

You can push a local repository to Cloud Source Repositories by using either SSH, the Google Cloud CLI, or manually generated credentials.

SSH

  1. Ensure you have set up local authentication with SSH.

  2. Add your local repository as a remote:

    git remote add google ssh://[EMAIL]@source.developers.google.com:2022/p/[PROJECT_ID]/r/[REPO_NAME]
    

    Where:

    • [EMAIL] is your Google Cloud username.
    • [PROJECT_ID] is the ID of the Google Cloud project where the repository is located.
    • [REPO_NAME] is the name of the repository.

    For example:

    git remote add google ssh://user@gmail.com@source.developers.google.com:2022/p/example-project/r/test-repo
    
  3. Push your code to Cloud Source Repositories:

    git push --all google
    

gcloud CLI

  1. Ensure that the gcloud CLI is installed on your machine.

  2. Open a terminal window.

  3. If you're using Windows, enter the following command:

    gcloud init && git config credential.helper gcloud.cmd
    

    If you're using Linux or macOS, enter the following command:

    gcloud init && git config credential.helper gcloud.sh
    
  4. Add your local repository as a remote:

    git remote add google \
    https://source.developers.google.com/p/[PROJECT_NAME]/r/[REPO_NAME]
    

    Where:

    • [PROJECT_NAME] is the name of your Google Cloud project.
    • [REPO_NAME] is the name of your repository.
  5. Push your code to Cloud Source Repositories:

    git push --all google
    

Manual

  1. Ensure you have generated and stored your Git credentials.

  2. Open a terminal window and add your local repository as a remote:

    git remote add google \
    https://source.developers.google.com/p/[PROJECT_NAME]/r/[REPO_NAME]
    

    Where:

    • [PROJECT_NAME] is the name of your Google Cloud project.
    • [REPO_NAME] is the name of your repository.
  3. Push your code to Cloud Source Repositories:

    git push --all google
