Create Git Repository in Launchpad

Git repositories can be created in Launchpad for users or teams (both public and private).

For using Launchpad git repositories you must add an SSH key to your user.

Initialize the local git repository with

git init

Add the upstream repository with

git remote add origin \
  git+ssh://<user>@git.launchpad.net/~<team_or_user>/+git/<repo>

user

your Launchpad user used for login

team_or_user

the Launchpad user or team for which the repository is created

repo

name of the repository

Add the default branch

git checkout -b main

Add some commit(s), e.g.

vi README.rst
git add README.rst
git commit -asm 'Initial commit'

Push to upstream with

git push -u origin main

Pushing is enough to create a repository.

Browse git repositories

The git repositories are listed at https://code.launchpad.net/~<team_or_user>/+git.

You can navigate from the team or user home page by opening the Code tab and clicking the View Git repositories link.
