Ephemeral agents (basically Docker containers with all your build dependencies that can consume code and generate artifacts for a CI/CD pipeline) in Jenkins seemed like a neat way to design a CI/CD system for a project I was working on. Even though a target platform is Windows, why should it…

windows node development without installing node — docker vs. wsl

create a GitLab repo remotely from existing code

So, have you been noodling and want to send that code somewhere safe? First, add a .gitignore file so you don’t add build or debug artifacts!

create a GitLab repo remotely from existing code

So, have you been noodling and want to send that code somewhere safe?

First, add a .gitignore file so you don’t add build or debug artifacts!

Then, open a command prompt in the root of your code folder:

git init
git add .
git commit -m "initialise repo with existing files."

The basic git steps apply to ant new repo. Now we need to create the GitLab repo.

git push --set-upstream https://gitlab.com/username/repo-name.git master

This command will return a message that includes a final instruction:

"To configure the remote, run: 
git remote add origin https://gitlab.com/username/repo-name.git"

Run this final command and you should now see the new repo and code in Gitlab.

https://gitlab.com/username/repo-name.git
