Delta Inductions 2018

Welcome to Delta Inductions 2018.

Hi. I'm Deep. :) All the code that you have written or will write during the induction process should be pushed to this repository.

Here are a few tips to get you started.

  • Create an account on github. (In case you already don't have one)

  • Install git. Click here to download and install git. (In case, you haven't installed it already)

  • Great!!. So I assume that you've installed git, and you're ready to go ahead. If not, please install it before proceeding further, so that we can take one step at a time. :)

  • Now, you need to configure your account details. Windows users, open git bash(Right click and click on 'Git Bash here'). Linux guys, just open your terminal.

  • Now type the following two commands. (If you've already executed these commands before, there's no need to do it again)
    git config --global user.email <your-email-here>
    git config --global user.name <your-github-handle>

  • Now go to directory/folder where you want to keep your code. Check out the example below.

cd ~/Documents/Code

or

cd ~/Desktop/MyFolder/

On Windows, you can open the folder in File Explorer, and open Git Bash right there (by right clicking).

  • Type git clone https://github.com/coderick14/DeltaInductions18 This will clone this repository in your system.
  • Type cd DeltaInductions18
  • What I'm about to say now is REALLY IMPORTANT. Git is a version control system. So that you can maintain different versions of your code/project. Now, all of you will submit different codes for the same task(s). Thus, we will have different versions of the same task(s). Git uses branches to maintain versions. So, each one of us will have a different branch here.
  • The default branch is master. To create your own branch, type git checkout -b <your-branch-name>. For example, I'll type git checkout -b deep.
  • Awesome. So now you're in your branch. At any point of time, you can check your current branch by typing git branch.
  • Organize your tasks into subfolders i.e. Task1, Task2 ...
  • You can keep working on your tasks now. Once you feel that you've reached a checkpoint and you want your changes to be saved, type the following commands.

1.git status ---> This will show you what files you have changed. This command is optional, but highly recommended.

2.git add --all ---> This will push your code to staging area.

3.git commit -m <your-commit-message-within-quotes> ---> Commit your changes. Commit message tells what changes you've made, for example, git commit -m "Add feature to edit notes". Try to keep them short and meaningful. :)

4.And finally, push your changes to Github using git push origin <your-branch-name>. For example, I would type git push origin deep.

  • So whenever you feel that you've reached a checkpoint, type the four commands above. And you're good to go.
  • MOST IMPORTANTLY, NEVER PUSH TO SOMEONE ELSE'S BRANCH. IF NECESSARY, TYPE git branch BEFORE ADDING YOUR CHANGES. If you're on a diffrent branch (unlikely), type git checkout <your-branch-name> to switch to your branch.
  • Check out this tiny video as well. It'll help you understand things better!

All the best guys. And Happy Coding!!
