Fig 1.2: Shows screen to create repository

2. Using Git from local

To access main repository install git in local and follow the below command to push the files to repository First generate the ssh keys in the system place it in /root/.ssh/id_rsa and /root/.ssh/id_rsa.pub

Step 2 : Enter following commands to commit and push to repository

#cd /path/to/your/project
#git init
#git remote add origin git@bitbucket.org:edithsanford/teamedith-symfony-php.git
#git add –all
#git commit -m “Initial commit by KTree”
#git push -u origin master

Now code is pushed to Bitbucket with branch name master.

Open the terminal and install git in developer system.

#mkdir /path/to/your/project

#cd /path/to/your/project

#git init

#git clone -b developer git@bitbucket.org:edithsanford/teamedith-symfony-php.git

All the code from developer branch will now check out to local developer server..
