UWPHacks 1 Session on Git, Github, and Command Line:

common commands: (left side is mac/linux, right side is Windows) man/help - HELP, lost pwd/cd - present working directory ls/dir - list files in pwd mkdir - make directory cd - change directory

Git is a technology Github is a service

Configure Git

• open the terminal
• Type ‘git’ if you see something good
• git config –global user.name “Jane Doe”
• git config –global email.name “j26tsang@uwaterloo.ca”
• go to directory you want the repository
• git init
• make a new repository on Github

Connecting Wires

• git remote -v
• git remote add origin “url from github”
• Now “git remote -v” should show (for some fetch and push links)

  origin	https://github.com/jonathantsang/testisthebest.git (fetch)
  origin	https://github.com/jonathantsang/testisthebest.git (push)
  

Let’s Add!

• touch “filename”
• git add “filename”
• git status (Files that have changed)
• git diff (Lines that you added in new files)
• git commit -m”Filename” (commits the code to github)
• git log (log of commits made)
• git push origin master (name and email from beginning steps should be the login info from Github)
