Hi there, Your app's already running on CentOS 7 AWS EC2 but has no Git version control — that's a risky spot to be in. I'll get it safely hooked up to GitHub and keep everything live while doing it. What I'll do: ✅ SSH in, install/verify Git, initialize the repo in your app directory. ✅ Set up SSH key or PAT-based auth with GitHub, push the full codebase with a sensible .gitignore. ✅ Test pulling/pushing so you can update code without breaking the running app. ✅ Before touching anything, I'll snapshot what's there — zero risk to your live service. ✅ Git, GitHub, SSH key/PAT setup ✅ CentOS 7 / AWS EC2 administration ✅ Tight .gitignore and commit hygiene ✅ Microsoft® Certified: MCSA | MCSE | MCT ✅ 300+ projects delivered, 280+ five-star reviews Why me: I'll wrap this up fast and stick around for questions after delivery — unlimited revisions until you're satisfied. Quick one: is this a monolithic app or does it have separate frontend/backend folders? Just helps me structure the repo cleanly. I can deliver this in 1 day for $30 and can start right now.

Hello, I can see the hidden risk here: the app is already live, so the real goal is version control without disturbing production. I’ve worked on similar Linux and AWS server setups where the priority was connecting an existing codebase to GitHub cleanly, keeping the service stable, and making future deployments predictable. I’ll SSH into the CentOS 7 EC2 instance, configure Git, set up the repository, add a proper .gitignore, commit the current application state, and push it safely to GitHub. I’ll also configure authentication with SSH keys or a Personal Access Token, verify the repo contents, and make sure the current application keeps running without downtime. I’ve shared an initial estimate based on your description, and once we go over a few technical or functional details, I’ll confirm the exact cost and delivery schedule. Could you confirm whether you want the repo initialized from the live server root or from a specific application folder? Do you already have a GitHub account/repository name ready, or should I create the repo structure for you? Do you want me to document a simple push/pull workflow for future updates and deployment? Looking forward to your reply so we can finalize the exact plan. Best regards, Asad

Hi, I can securely connect your existing AWS EC2 (CentOS 7) server to GitHub without disrupting the running application. I'll configure Git, initialize the repository, add an appropriate `.gitignore`, set up secure authentication using SSH keys or a Personal Access Token, push the current codebase to GitHub, verify everything is working correctly, and provide clear documentation for future deployments and updates. My priority is ensuring a smooth setup with zero downtime. A couple of quick questions: Do you already have a GitHub repository created, or should I create and configure it? Will Git authentication use a personal GitHub account or an organization repository? Regards, Asim Javed

Hi, I can connect your existing AWS EC2 CentOS 7 application to GitHub without disrupting the running application. The best solution is to first SSH into the server, review the current application directory, check existing Git status, and confirm which files should be included or ignored. Then I’ll install/configure Git if needed, initialize the repository, create a proper `.gitignore`, commit the current code, set up GitHub authentication using SSH key or PAT, and push the project to GitHub. I’m comfortable with AWS EC2, CentOS/Linux administration, SSH, Git, GitHub repositories, SSH key setup, Personal Access Tokens, `.gitignore` configuration, first-time project commits, and safe DevOps workflows on live servers. Deliverables will include: * Git setup on CentOS 7 * GitHub repository connection * `.gitignore` configuration * First project commit * Initial push to GitHub * SSH/PAT authentication setup * Repository verification * No-downtime handling * Future pull/push instructions I’ll focus on a clean, safe setup so your existing application keeps running while the project becomes properly version-controlled in GitHub.

Hello, I want to tell you that as a professional Linux system user, I am very skilled at deploying any custom service for Linux servers, including some GitHub projects, as long as they can be installed on the server. I recommend using Ubuntu, but if you have other requirements, you can contact me. To be clear, I have used AWS Lightsail, so I should be able to set up an AWS Linux server. But anyway, I can deploy for any Linux distribution, regardless of the provider. Can we talk?

Connecting a live CentOS 7 app to GitHub needs two things done safely: set up the repo without touching your running deployment, and configure SSH auth for push/pull. I do this on AWS EC2 and bare metal servers most weeks. Recent example: I onboarded an analytics app (Node.js) from bare EC2 to GitHub and GitLab last month—created repo, full push with rollout, zero downtime, CentOS 7, step-by-step docs for the team. Here, I’d SSH in, check existing files, prep a .gitignore (node_modules, configs if needed), push full history, and add SSH keys for secure workflow. Service stays live, and you get a short markdown guide on daily Git commands. Any non-standard deployment or config management tools in use (like custom scripts or Ansible)? Pradeep

Hi, I can help you connect your AWS application running on CentOS 7 to GitHub. I have extensive experience in setting up Git and GitHub for existing Linux servers, ensuring no downtime while establishing version control. I'll SSH into your EC2 instance, configure Git, create a GitHub repository, and commit your application files with an appropriate .gitignore. A prior project where I did something similar improved a client's deployment process significantly. I can complete this in $150 within one day. Ready to get started? What’s the best way to proceed?

I’ve configured Git + GitHub on multiple CentOS/RHEL AWS EC2s, including legacy systems like yours, so this is straightforward. I’ll SSH in, install Git if missing, initialize the repo in your app directory, add a minimal .gitignore (CentOS 7 + your stack), set up SSH key auth for pushes, and run a first commit/push to verify. I’ll confirm the app keeps running post-push and leave a one-page usage note. Done in under two hours. Fixed-price: $120. I can start now.
