# Step 3: Upload a sample application to your GitHub repository
<a name="tutorials-github-upload-sample-revision"></a>

In this step, you will copy a sample revision from a public Amazon S3 bucket to your GitHub repository. (For simplicity, the sample revisions provided for this tutorial are single web pages.)

**Note**  
If you use one of your revisions instead of our sample revision, your revision must:   
Follow the guidelines in [Plan a revision for CodeDeploy](application-revisions-plan.md) and [Add an application specification file to a revision for CodeDeploy](application-revisions-appspec-file.md).
Work with the corresponding instance type.
Be accessible from your GitHub dashboard.
If your revision meets these requirements, skip ahead to [Step 5: Create an application and deployment group](tutorials-github-create-application.md).  
If you're deploying to an Ubuntu Server instance, you'll need to upload to your GitHub repository a revision compatible with an Ubuntu Server instance and CodeDeploy. For more information, see [Plan a revision for CodeDeploy](application-revisions-plan.md) and [Add an application specification file to a revision for CodeDeploy](application-revisions-appspec-file.md).

## Push a sample revision from a local Linux, OS X, or Unix machine
<a name="tutorials-github-upload-sample-revision-unixes"></a>

With your terminal still open in, for example, the `/tmp/CodeDeployGitHubDemo` location, run the following commands one at a time: 

**Note**  
If you plan to deploy to a Windows Server instance, substitute `SampleApp_Windows.zip` for `SampleApp_Linux.zip` in the commands.

```
(Amazon S3 copy command)
```

```
unzip SampleApp_Linux.zip
```

```
rm SampleApp_Linux.zip
```

 

```
git add .
```

```
git commit -m "Added sample app"
```

```
git push
```

Where *(Amazon S3 copy command)* is one of the following: 
+ `aws s3 cp s3://aws-codedeploy-cn-north-1/samples/latest/SampleApp_Linux.zip . --region cn-north-1` for the China (Beijing) Region
+ `aws s3 cp s3://aws-codedeploy-cn-northwest-1/samples/latest/SampleApp_Linux.zip . --region cn-northwest-1` for the China (Ningxia) Region

## Push a sample revision from a local Windows machine
<a name="tutorials-github-upload-sample-revision-windows"></a>

 With your command prompt still open in, for example, the `c:\temp\CodeDeployGitHubDemo` location , run the following commands one at a time:

**Note**  
If you plan to deploy to an Amazon Linux or RHEL instance, substitute `SampleApp_Linux.zip` for `SampleApp_Windows.zip` in the commands.

```
(Amazon S3 copy command)
```

Unzip the contents of `the` the ZIP file directly into the local directory (for example `c:\temp\CodeDeployGitHubDemo`), not into a new subdirectory.

```
git add .
```

```
git commit -m "Added sample app"
```

```
git push
```

Where *(Amazon S3 copy command)* is one of the following: 
+ `aws s3 cp s3://aws-codedeploy-cn-north-1/samples/latest/SampleApp_Windows.zip . --region cn-north-1` for the China (Beijing) Region
+ `aws s3 cp s3://aws-codedeploy-cn-northwest-1/samples/latest/SampleApp_Windows.zip . --region cn-northwest-1` for the China (Ningxia) Region

To push your own revision to an Ubuntu Server instance, copy your revision into your local repo, and then call the following:

```
git add .
git commit -m "Added Ubuntu app"
git push
```
