Hi
I installed Moodle by unzipping a downloaded file into a location on my webserver.
I know now that It would have been better if I had installed using git.
However is there any way which I can add a Git repository after Moodle is installed?
Have ssh access to the webserver
Current version Moodle 4.4.1+ (Build: 20240726)
thanks
PJ
Hi, Paul Archer! 😊
Go to the directory where Moodle is installed and initialize the Git repository
git init
Add the official Moodle Git repository
git remote add origin https://github.com/moodle/moodle/
Select the correct branch, and since you're using version 4.4
git checkout -b MOODLE_404_STABLE
And that's it! 🎉 Now your Moodle installation is under Git control, which will make maintenance and updates much easier in the future.

OP has moodle code already in a directory and doesn't need the git versioning in existing directory.
Might want to share specifics to: "Select the correct branch"
@Paul ... suggest you test the above by copying current code directory to a 'test' directory first. Then cd into that test directory.
Follow suggestion given ...
In that test directory, try a 'git pull' (which is what you will be doing going after the next point release of the 4.4.x code) and see what happens.

Not Ken ;), I find this step easy if you think of it as an Upgrade. There under Upgrading#Install_the_new_Moodle_software you are told to:
1. Move your old Moodle software program files to another location. Do NOT copy new files over the old files."
Do just that. Then,
2. Unzip or unpack the upgrade file so that all the new Moodle software program files are in the location the old files used to be in on the server.
Here, instead of unzipping the Moodle code zip file, get the code using Git. For that execute the five commands given in Git_for_Administrators#Obtaining_the_code_from_Git.
Then continue with,
3. Copy your old config.php file back to the new Moodle directory.
etc.
Correction to above:
"and doesn't need the git versioning in existing directory" .... should be removed!
and there is 'added value' doing it 'another way' ... see the readme for 'gitify'.
https://mg2.sosoftexas.org/scripts/gitify/
one gets an update, an upgrade, and a bu script as 'added value'.
As usual, more than one way!

@Paul
Just to be clear ... since this is your first venture into git ...
it would be wise to run some admin/cli/ scripts prior to which ever method: Mr. V's combo, Eduardo's init, a side load, or my 'gitify' ...
First, backup what you have. Git is always upwards never 'roll back'.
Second: run from code/admin/cli/ the following:
* check_database_schema.php
* checks.php
If either of those report issues, fix them.
* uninstall_plugins.php - which has an option to show contributions (add-ons)
Git only does core code and not add-ons. An incompatible add-on can cause git update or upgrade to fail. Might add to your config.php file a line to force the theme to one of 2 that come
with core: boost, classic to avoid 3rd party theme incompatibility issues. Just for the update or upgrade - can comment out that line after update/upgrade.
* cron.php - it includes clean ups, etc.
Third: once successful, create 3 scripts ... an update script, which gets point releases, an upgrade script, which takes core code up a major branch - 4.5.0 soon to be released, and a bu (backup script) which backs up code + db dump + minimally moodledata/filedir/
Could also combine the bu into the beginning of the update/upgrade scripts.
Have never regretted taking the time to backup!
Also, whatever method chosen, that will be the last time one has to do the work-around's to get your code under git. That's why I suggest 3 scripts.
You might also install 'moosh' ... I use it to check plugins I have installed to assure there is a compat version for destination version of core.

"have created the git repo with a git init etc"
Am reminded of 'begin with the end in mind'!
So mind sharing the exact commands used for above?
Are you a programmer and plan to develop for Moodle?
If not, you don't need your own git repo (copy) of moodle code. You just want to use git to update/upgrade your core code.
Good we are doing this in a 'sandpit'!
'SoS', Ken
2 'sense' (nope, spelled it correctly!) more ...
You are using either Debian or Ubuntu.
Evidence: sudo -u www-data in git commands.
Docs say to do that ... I disagree. I use root user ... no issues with ownerships/permissions then. Using www-data also means the ownerships/permissions on the hidden .git directory
and hidden .git files allow anyone with a browser to crawl them.
Not good!!!
After I do git as root, I change ownerships/permissions on all moodle code files/directories to web service user then lock down all get .git related folders/files. (part of my 'gitify' added value 'update' and 'upgrade' scripts).
No guest, no group ... root only.
Also .. I wouldn't put moodle code ... production server or not ... at document root of a site ... but in a subdirectory.
Reasons: Black Hats and Script Kiddies ... and there are tons of them doing 'security research' now a days [yeah, right! ] ... point their scripts to document root. If one has a static web page there, there is nothing to poke and probe. Reducing the attack surface!
2nd reason ... I can run a production instance and a dev instance in a directory on the same server.
Now back to git:
What do you see if you issue: git branch -a while in code directory?
Maybe I can convince you to try 'gitify'! ;)

@Paul ... following the 'git init' suggestion ... the following ... AND the fix not mentioned.
Code directory originally from a tgz download and un-compressed ... no git.
Did:
git init
git remote add origin https://github.com/moodle/moodle/
git checkout -b MOODLE_404_STABLE
which returned:
Switched to a new branch 'MOODLE_404_STABLE'
Checked with git branch -a
Returned nothing.

Aborting
If I do a git pull
git pull
There is no tracking information for the current branch.
Please specify which branch you want to merge with.
See git-pull(1) for details.
git pull <remote> <branch>
If you wish to set tracking information for this branch you can do so with:
git branch --set-upstream-to=origin/<branch> MOODLE_404_STABLE
which is what you saw.
THE FIX:
git fetch origin MOODLE_404_STABLE:LOCAL_MOODLE_404_STABLE
Returns:
From https://github.com/moodle/moodle
* [new branch] MOODLE_404_STABLE -> LOCAL_MOODLE_404_STABLE
now when I check
git branch -a
I see
LOCAL_MOODLE_404_STABLE
at the top but no tracking *
git branch --track MOODLE_404_STABLE origin/MOODLE_404_STABLE
now check again
git branch -a
and I see:
LOCAL_MOODLE_404_STABLE
* MOODLE_404_STABLE
at the top - * indicates what branch tracking.
and finally ... FINALLY ... AFTER ALL THAT:
git pull
Already up to date
which is what I should see.
code directory now under git.
Here's my git history for above:
453 git init

What does yours look like?
I know what is easier ... GITIFY! Plus added value of 3 useful bash shell scripts that one will use in maintaining a git Moodle.

See Gitify Demo Video in my profile:
https://moodle.org/user/profile.php?id=141618
Video is long and you will see me make some mistakes ... corrected easily enough ... didn't rehearse very much.

Prior to running gitify, did you remove the .git directory, .github directory, .gitignore and .gitattributes from the code directory you were using? You should have ... it would then be like starting over.
Also remember your site acquired the other way, was already on the highest stable branch. So updates may not be a lot ... depending upon the 'point' release of core code.
Can you give me a clip of what screen showed when you said
"Changes not staged for commit:
(a number files listed in red in the screen)"
git status - should have shown ...
On branch MOODLE_404_STABLE
Your branch is up to date with 'origin/MOODLE_404_STABLE'.
nothing to commit, working tree clean
You'll run update script more than upgrade.
upgrade script for upgrading to major version releases ... 4.4.x is the highest stable version. 4.5 is a dev release right now and you don't want that for a production site.
You run gitify just one time ... to get your moodle code under git versioning and the creation of the bu,update, upgrade scripts. You should remove the zip file, the gitify script, the temp directory created to get the git core code, and the gitifyvars file from your code.
Now that you have the update and upgrade scripts, edit those giving correct git version numbers.
Venturing into git on an existing code base is mind boggling. I've been doing this for some time now and I still have to pause and gather thoughts!
What I think I'd try with yours:
Reissue the following commands in the code directory. They are redunant but we are trying to make sure of things:
git branch --track MOODLE_404_STABLE origin/MOODLE_404_STABLE
git checkout MOODLE_404_STABLE
And then this one:
git reset --hard
and then check status.
using git branch -a you should see the version tracking, the main.
* MOODLE_404_STABLE
main
remotes/origin/HEAD -> origin/main
Don't think you are coding ... so that 'commit' thing shouldn't apply to your use of git.
Have also sent my direct email address via PM here in forums.
Let's do direct as it's faster and we might have to discuss/cuss things about your system that we shouldn't be showing here in forums.

@Paul was above what you used earlier?
And ... have fixed an error in my gitify scripts for the bu.
