I have Sourcetree and source code, now what?

[James Smith]

What to do to get GIT working. Installing one GIT source on Bitbucket using Sourcetree?

Hey James,

You can use BitBucket to manage your Git repositories. And SourceTree to access the repositories and commit and push changes.

If you are completely new to this, you can try

1. Login to Bitbucket and create a new repo (https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/BITBUCKET/Create+a+repository)

2. Open Sourcetree and clone the new repository you created. Refer to section "Cloning a git repository" in the document https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/BITBUCKET/Clone+a+repository

3. Make some changes to your files. Commit the changes and notice sourcetree will show you a new revision. Push the changes to your Bitbucket repository using the Push option in Sourcetree.

You might also find this video helpful. http://vimeo.com/40159534and the documentation available at https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/BITBUCKET/Use+your+repository

Hope that helps.

Cheers
