Get Ur Git On: Introduction and getting started with Github
This document provides an introduction and overview of using version control systems like Git and GitHub. It outlines the goals of understanding what these tools are used for, creating repositories both online and from your desktop, pushing commits, forking repositories, and pushing edits to forked repos. The document explains that version control systems allow users to track changes made over time, keep work reproducible, maintain good documentation, and collaborate without overwriting each other's work. It provides instructions for tasks like creating personal and project repositories, adding files, and making commits locally and pushed to GitHub, as well as collaborating through forking repositories and making pull requests.

- 9. Task 1! • Login to your Github profile • Click “Repositories” • Click “New” • Click “Initialize with a README” (best practice) • Repo to make: A storage area for a personal hero! • Click “Clone in desktop” • Save your repo wherever you like on your computer • Use google images to download a rad image • Put it in your personal hero folder on your computer • “Commit and sync” • Click refresh on your repo online • You should see the change!
- 10. Turn to yourneighbor and take 2 minutes to think of a project at work you want to use this system for… Task 2! • Create a new folder on your computer for that project (OR find that folder if it exists) • Go to your Github program • Click “Add a repo” (or “+”, etc.) • Find that folder! • Push that folder to Github! • Click refresh on your Github landing page online • You should see the new repo!
- 11. Task 3! Collaboration! • Go to https://github.com/ coconn/Friday-Noon-Seminar- Git-Github • “Fork” my FNS repository • “Clone” it to your desktop • Make a file that has your best git/ Github pun in it (.txt, .r, .doc, .pdf, whatever), and push it as a commit to your fork within the Task3-Puns folder • Click “pull request” (you’re requesting that I, Christine, “pull” your edit into the original repo) • Done!
