Git & GitHub on AWS EC2: Hands-On DevOps Workflow

🚀 Hands-On with Git & GitHub on AWS EC2 — From Zero to Push! Just completed an end-to-end Git + GitHub workflow on a live AWS EC2 (Amazon Linux 2023) instance — and here's what I built: ✅ Installed Git 2.50.1 via yum on Amazon Linux 2023 ✅ Initialized a local repository with git init ✅ Created and committed files (index.html, README.md) ✅ Linked the local repo to a remote GitHub repository using git remote add origin ✅ Pushed code to GitHub using git push -u origin master ✅ Verified the live repository with 2 branches, 3 commits, and real-time file tracking 💡 One key learning: When the default branch is main but you push to master, Git throws a refspec mismatch error — I debugged and resolved it using a clean git push with credentials. 🌐 The repository is live on GitHub with proper commit history, branch management, and a README — all set up from a cloud server! This is what real DevOps practice looks like — not just theory, but actual cloud + version control integration. 💻☁️ #Git #GitHub #DevOps #Linux #AWS #EC2 #VersionControl #CloudComputing #OpenToWork #DevOpsEngineer #TechLearning Thanks to Ulhas Narwade (Cloud Messenger☁️📨) This lab demonstrates you didn't just read about Git — you ran it on a live cloud server, hit real errors, and fixed them. That's the difference between a candidate who knows commands and one who can actually work in a production-like environment. The combination of AWS EC2 + Linux + Git + GitHub in one workflow signals hands-on DevOps readiness, which is exactly what companies hiring for cloud or backend roles look for.
