The developer puts their code online, publicly or privately, with the help of Git Hub. It enables them to share their code with others and motivates them to access that code.



Here are steps where you integrate Wordpress with GitHub.


Step 1: Create a GitHub repository




Log in to GitHub and create a repository first.





Give a name to your repository. You can add descriptions and access control(Public and Private).



Step 2: Push live wordpress files to the GitHub repository



Push all your wordpress files and folder from your live server to the GitHub repository after creating a new repository.



Run the following command:



1. cd applications/folder_name_of_your_wordpress_application/public_html


2. git init: Initialize empty git repository.


3. git add: This command adds all files to the local GitHub repository and stages them.


4. git checkout -b master: switch to a new branch


5. git commit -m "first commit": Commit the changes and prepare them for push to the GitHub repository.


6. git config --global user.email "[email protected]"


git config --global user. name "Your Name."


7.git remote add origin https://github.com/username/my-git-theme.git


8.git push origin master - With this command, all files will be uploaded to the master branch of the GitHub repository




Step 3: Install git



You can now download your files from GitHub to your PC after installing Git locally.







Step 4: From the GitHub repository, pull to the local folder



Start removing all files and folders to your local folder.



Create a folder, press Right-Click → Git Bash Here.



Enter the following commands:

1. git init
2. git add
3. git remote add origin https://github.com/username/GitHub.git
   /* Don’t forget to replace the URL with your own. */
4. git pull origin master

It could take some time, depending on your connection's speed and the size of your WordPress repository.


Go to your local WordPress folder once the procedure is complete. You can see that the GitHub repository's whole set of files was successfully fetched.



Step 5: Connect Sublime text with GitHub



Connect sublime to GitHub; now, you easily submit your changes from the local environment to the WordPress repository on GitHub.



To access the wordpress folder, in Sublime Text, go to File → Open Folder



Step 6: Push from Local to GitHub




Now put your code into the file; for uploading to the GitHub, we need to stage all the unstaged files.



Press S to stage this file and use the git: status command to check its status. The file has been switched to staged mode.



Press "c" to save this change. I've modified the wp-login.php file; a new tab will open with details. To submit the commit, type "my commit" at the file's top and hit CTRL+ENTER.



Use git: push to send the changes to the GitHub repository once connected.


Now all your local code is available on GitHub.
