Certainly!
Here's a step-by-step guide on how to perform these actions using
SourceTree and Bitbucket's graphical user interfaces (GUI), without using Git
commands:
### Step 1: Upload Your First Project
#### Using Bitbucket GUI:
1. **Create a Bitbucket Repository:**
- Log in to your Bitbucket account.
- Click the `+` icon in the left sidebar and select "Repository."
- Fill in the repository details, such as name and access settings.
- Click "Create Repository."
#### Using SourceTree GUI:
1. **Initialize Git in Your Project:**
- Open SourceTree.
- Click on "File" and select "New / Clone."
- In the "Clone Repository" tab:
- Enter the Source Path / URL of your Bitbucket repository.
- Specify the Destination Path where you want to store the local copy of your
project.
- Click "Clone."
2. **Link Your Local Project to Bitbucket:**
- In SourceTree, your repository should now be listed. Select it.
- Click "Settings" on the left sidebar.
- In the "Remotes" section, click "Add" to add a remote repository.
- Enter a name (e.g., "origin") and the URL of your Bitbucket repository.
- Click "OK" to save the remote configuration.
3. **Push to Bitbucket:**
- With your Bitbucket remote added, you can now push your code to Bitbucket.
Click "Push" in SourceTree to do this.
### Step 2: Create a Branch
#### Using SourceTree GUI:
1. **Create a New Branch:**
- In SourceTree, go to the "Branch" menu.
- Click "Create" or "New Branch" and give your branch a name.
- Click "Create Branch."
### Step 3: Clone and Edit
#### Using SourceTree GUI:
1. **Clone the Repository:**
- If you haven't already cloned the repository in Step 1, you can use
SourceTree's "File" > "New / Clone" option to clone the repository from Bitbucket.
2. **Switch to Your New Branch:**
- In SourceTree, go to the "Branch" menu.
- Select the branch you created in Step 2.
3. **Edit and Add Code:**
- Open your project files in your preferred code editor.
- Make the desired changes to your project.
### Step 4: Upload Changes
#### Using SourceTree GUI:
1. **Stage, Commit, and Push:**
- In SourceTree, you'll see your modified files in the "File Status" tab.
- Stage the changes you want to commit by checking the boxes next to the files.
- Write a commit message in the "Commit message" field.
- Click "Commit" to commit your changes.
- After committing, click "Push" to send your changes to the Bitbucket
repository.
### Step 5: Merge Branch
#### Using SourceTree GUI:
1. **Switch to the Master Branch:**
- In SourceTree, go to the "Branch" menu.
- Select the `master` branch.
2. **Merge the Branch:**
- Click on the "Merge" button.
- Choose the branch you created in Step 2 to merge into the `master` branch.
- Click "OK" to merge the changes.
3. **Resolve Conflicts (if any):**
- If there are any conflicts during the merge, SourceTree will guide you through
resolving them.
4. **Commit the Merge:**
- After resolving conflicts, commit the merge changes.
5. **Push the Changes:**
- Finally, push the changes to the Bitbucket repository.
These steps should help you manage your project using SourceTree and Bitbucket's
GUI, without needing to use Git commands directly.
