II. Practices
Step to do:
– Register GitHub account
– Create a GitHubRepository
– Configure GitHub for SpringToolSuite
– Create & Share a project to GitHub
1. Setup GitHub account
Go to https://github.com/, then SignUp:
Press the button Sign up for GitHub, we go to next panel: Welcome to GitHub
Here having 2 options for choosing:
– Unlimited public repositories for free
– Unlimited private repositories ($7/month)
For starting, you should choose the first option.

We go to next panel: Tailor your experience.
In here, you have some checkboxes to describes about you. Then press Submit.
Right now, a GitHub message will be sent to your mail account to verify the register.
Click to the link: Verify email address for done the registration.
2. Create a GitHub repository
Now go to Create a new repository page by following the link: github.com/new
Fill info about: Repository name, Description (option).
We have 2 mode for choosing: Public & Private
– Public: Anyone can see this repository. You choose who can commit.
– Private: You choose who can see and commit to this repository. But having money for the mode ()
For starting, we choose Public mode.
Check a option: Initialize this repository with a README.
Press Create repository button. JavaSampleApproach/tutorials is created successfully.
3. Configure GitHub for SpringToolSuite
Open SpringToolSuite, go to: Window-> Show view -> Others -> Git Repositories.
Choose Clone URI. Then fill data: uri – username/password
Note: we got URI at the Clone or download button of the tutorial repository as below image:
Press Next, go to Branch Selection, choose master,
Press Next, go to Local Destination Configuration, edit Directory, then press Finish:
Now, We have finished the GitHub setup for SpringToolSuite.
4. Create a project & Commit to GitHub
Create a simple SpringStartProject: GitHubHelloworld.
Right click on the project, go to Team->Share, fill needed info about GitHub repository:
Press Finish button, the result as below image:
4.2 Commit Sourcecode
Go to the project’s folder, modify .gitignore file:
Replace the old content of .gitignore file with the new content:
.mvn/ .settings/ bin/ target/ .classpath .project mvnw*
Add to Index: right click on the project, go to Team -> Add to Index.
Commit: right click on the project, go to -> Commit
Press Commit & Push, then provides authentication info:
The result after done:
Problems: we need deleted files: .mvn/wrapper and mvnw,
mvnw.cmd.
=> How to do it?
Just open .gitignore file, change content of the file to:
.mvn/wrapper/ mvnw mvnw.cmd .settings/ bin/ target/ .classpath .project
Then delete the files from project: .mvn/wrapper/ & mvnw, mvnw.cmd. Righ click on the project, go to Team -> Add to Index.
Commit again:
Righ click on the project, go to Team -> Commit. Add comment:
modify .gitignore file & remove .jar & mvn* file
Now press Commit & Push, see the results:
