How to Use Git Version Control in cPanel?

To use the git version control in the cPanel, you must create the Git Repository first. Please be informed that to create the Git Repository, you will need shell access/root access. Therefore, please follow the below steps to create the Git Repository.

1. Login to the server using SSH.
   
   # ssh [email protected]
   
   
2. Once you log into the server, you will have to create a new directory to store the Repository. Run the below command to create the new directory.
   
   # mkdir -p ~/accu/example
   
   
   
   
3. Once the directory has been created, you will have to navigate to that directory. Run the following command to navigate to the directory.
   
   # cd accu/example

5. Once you fire the above command, the directory will be initialized as Git Repository, as shown below.
