Creating Git Repo on EC2 To Host Playframework App

I have an m1.small Amazon EC2 instance that I use to test and share my web app development with friends. It's time to setup a gitrepo on this shared instance.

On my EC2 instance, first I install git and then setup a bare repo:
[elousf@ip-xx-xxx-xx-xxx ~]$ sudo yum install git

[elousf@ip-xx-xxx-xx-xxx ~]$ mkdir gitrepo 

[elousf@ip-xx-xxx-xx-xxx ~]$ cd gitrepo

[elousf@ip-xx-xxx-xx-xxx gitrepo]$ mkdir myweb.git

[elousf@ip-xx-xxx-xx-xxx gitrepo]$ cd myweb.git/

[elousf@ip-xx-xxx-xx-xxx myweb.git]$ git init --bare

[elousf@ip-xx-xxx-xx-xxx myweb.git]$ ls -laF

Setup my local git repo for Playframework development on my local (macbook pro) git
@mbp ~/dev/play/myweb$ git init
Initialized empty Git repository in /Users/elousf/dev/play/myweb/.git/


Play automatically creates .gitignore when I created the app.
@mbp ~/dev/play/myweb$ cat .gitignore

/*.iml

Add to local git

@mbp ~/dev/play/myweb$ git add . 

See what were added by using "git status"

Submit the files to local git.

@mbp ~/dev/play/myweb$ git commit -m "Initial commit"

Add remote repo:

@mbp ~/dev/play/myweb$ git remote add origin elousf@myec2:/home/elousf/gitrepo/myweb.git

Finally, push my local git to my gitrepo on EC2 (myec2)

@mbp ~/dev/play/myweb$ git push -u origin master

To elousf@myec2:/home/elousf/gitrepo/myweb.git

 * [new branch]      master -> master

Branch master set up to track remote branch master from origin.

That's it to add shared gitrepo on EC2.

Test it out

Login back to my EC2 instance, create a directory to host my playframework code:

@mbp ~$ ssh elousf@myec2

As elousf user on my EC2:

[elousf@ip-xx-xxx-xx-xxx ~]$ mkdir myplayapp

[elousf@ip-xx-xxx-xx-xxx ~]$ git init

Initialized empty Git repository in /home/elousf/myplayapp/.git/

[elousf@ip-xx-xxx-xx-xxx ~]$ git remote add origin elousf@localhost:/home/elousf/gitrepo/myweb

[elousf@ip-xx-xxx-xx-xxx ~]$  git pull origin master

Assuming I already have Playframework and databases setup to run this app I can do:

[elousf@ip-xx-xxx-xx-xxx ~]$ play

[mywebapp] run
