OpenShift Deployment

Question

Hi I am new to open shift . I don't know how to create repository and deploying our project to it. I have configured it through command prompt. After installing rhc successfully through command prompt I am getting confusion of help given on Open Shift site regarding uploading the application not about pushing and commiting. I got the idea about commiting and pushing but I did not get the idea about deploying or uploading the application first time . Please help me I am getting stuck for a lot of time thanks in advance

Deploying and Building Application

All OpenShift applications are built around a Git source control workflow - you code locally, then push your changes to the server. The server then runs a number of hooks to build and configure your application, and finally restarts your application. Optionally, applications can elect to be built using Jenkins, or run using "hot deployment" which speeds up the deployment of code to OpenShift.

Making Changes to your Application As a developer on OpenShift, you make code changes on your local machine, check those changes in locally, and then "push" those changes to OpenShift. One of the primary advantages of Git is that it does not require a continuous online presence in order to run. You can easily check in (in Git terminology, 'commit') and revert changes locally before deciding to upload those changes to OpenShift.

Every OpenShift application you create has its own Git repository that only you can access. If you create your application from the command line, rhc will automatically download a copy of that repository (Git calls this 'cloning') to your local system. If you create an application from the web console, you'll need to tell Git to clone the repository. Find the Git URL from the application page, and then run:

$ git clone <git_url> <directory to create>

Once you make changes, you'll need to 'add' and 'commit' those changes - 'add' tells Git that a file or set of files will become part of a larger check in, and 'commit' completes the check in. Git requires that each commit have a message to describe it.

$ git add .
$ git commit -m "A checkin to my application"

Finally, you're ready to send your changes to your application - you'll 'push' these changes with:

$ git push

The output of the push command will contain information from OpenShift about your deployment -
