unknown

Hi,

i have an exitsing code on my local drive and i have created a empty (new ) repo in the bit bucket. now i want to push the code to the repo using the source tree. i dont want to clone to a new folder and copy the files allover instead i want to commit the existing folder to the repo using source tree not the command line way. Please let me know if anyone has a solution to this.

Hi @[deleted],

Welcome to Atlassian Community.

There should be instructions for how to populate your repository with local code shown if you access your repository in Bitbucket, but here are the steps:

Cd into your directory that have your code
Initiate it as a Git repository by running these commands
```
git init
git add --all
git commit -m "Initial Commit"
```
Copy the URL for you empty repository in Bitbucket

Set the remote URL for your repository and push your initial commit

git remote add origin <the URL for your Bitbucket repository> 
git push -u origin master

Done, you should now see your code in Bitbucket.

Thank you.

There apparently isn't when keeping the default option (include a .gitignore). And then, then the instructions fail (fatal: refusing to merge unrelated histories).

In my case, I had to delete the new repository and create another one, making sure there was no .gitignore. Then the instructions appeared and worked.

Following on @blaiseli , the instructions above, and the Bitbucket default, is incorrect. You must have a completely bare repository to avoid a failed operation.

So, steps are

When creating the remote repository on Bitbucket, DO NOT create ANY files, No readme, no gitignore, or anything else that might be suggested.
Then execute commands locally:

git remote add origin <the URL for your Bitbucket repository> 
git push -u origin master

Or you can a force push, which will wipe out all existing files on the new repo

git push -u origin master --force

@Mikael Sandberg Where are the instructions? Github has it indeed.
