Git Version Control in cPanel

"Git” is a popular version control system that allows you to track code changes, manage repositories, and facilitate developer collaboration. cPanel has a built-in tool for working with Git repositories, which makes version control more convenient.

To create a new repository, go to "Files → Git Version Control”.

Click Create to create a new repository.

Select the repository type (local or remote clone).

Specify the path to the repository.

If it is a clone of a remote repository, specify the URL.

Clone the repository to your local computer

Open a terminal on your computer.

For an existing project.

Step 1: Go to the repository folder:

cd /path/to/your/repo

Step 2: Configure your local repository to push to the cPanel-hosted repository:

git remote add origin ssh://ID_account@ID_account.server.fornex.org:20022/home/ID_account/repo
git push -u origin master

To start a new project.

Step 1: Clone the cPanel-hosted repository to your local computer and navigate to its directory:

git clone ssh://ID_account@ID_account.server.fornex.org:20022/home/ID_account/repo
cd repo

Step 2: Create a README file:

echo “# README” >> README.md

Step 3: Commit the README file to the project:

git add README.md
git commit -m “Initial Commit”
git push -u origin master

Once the repository is created, you can manage them:

• View commit history.
• Modify branches.

A detailed description of the tool is provided in the official cPanel documentation.
