intro git

A quick intro to Git

Git is a version control system. Here're the steps/git commands you need to know to submit your work:

1. clone

   • example: git clone the_url_for_your_repo
     • get your assignment/lab repo

2. add

   • example: git add a_file_name
     • add that file to the index
   • example: git add .
     • add all files to the index

3. commit

   • git commit -m 'a_message_describing_what_you_did'
     • record changes to the repository

4. push

   • git push
     • submit the stuff you committed to your repo

Then GitHub Classroom will collect your works from your repo automatically on Sunday night!
