wordpress - How can I push a repository to my computer and my online server? -


i have figured out how create repository on github. trying push repository both macbook pro , server, hosted through http://namecheap.com, , able understand how keep things simple. using wordpress on server , have template theme. want edit files on mac , push them website, keeping easy.

there plenty of information out there on how started github, focus on clearing misconception:

now trying push repository both macbook pro , server

you not push github server. need clone github repo development (macbook) , production (server) environments.

git clone https://github.com/username/repository.git 

https://help.github.com/articles/fetching-a-remote/

alternatively, can push existing code empty repository initializing locally, setting remote , pushing

git init git add -a git commit -m "initial commit" git remote add origin https://github.com/username/repository.git git push origin master 

once have repo setup, typical workflow this:

  • make changes in development environment (macbook).
  • push changes github.
  • pull changes github in production or staging environment (server).
