Basics about git and GitHub.
In GitHub:
- Select "Create new repo"
- Create a name for your repo and write a brief description
- Select "public" or "private"
- Check the box to "initialize with a README"
- Click the "create repository" button
In your computer:
- Create folder with the same name than the repo on GitHub
- Navigate to this new directory
- Initialize a local Git repo: > git init
- Point your local repo at the remote repo in GitHub: git remote add origin https://github.com/anna-alemany/name-repo.git
- Create a new repository on GitHub. To avoid errors, do not initialize the new repository with README, license, or gitignore files. You can add these files after your project has been pushed to GitHub.
- Open Terminal and change the current working directory to your local project.
- Initialize the local directory as a Git repository.
- Add the files in your new local repository (git add .) and commit the files that you've staged in your local repository (git commit -m "first commit").
- At the top of your GitHub repository's Quick Setup page, click to copy the remote repository URL.
- In Terminal, add the URL for the remote repository where your local repository will be pushed.
- git remote add origin "remote repository URL"
- git remote -v
- Push the changes in your local repository to GitHub.
- git push -u origin master
In GitHub:
- Fork
To make a local copy in your computer (clone):
- Navigate to the desired directory, where we want the repo to appear, and type: > git clone https://github.com/anna-alemany/name-repo.git ** ATENTION: no need to create the directory with the name of the repo. It will be cloned automatically.
- Add: git add . // git add -u // git add -A
- Commit: git commit -m "message"
- To push changes into remote repo: git push
- Create branch: git checkout -b branchname
- To see which branch are you in: git branch
- To switch back to the master branch: git checkout master
