Git/Github Set Up

Let's do all of this together

• Create a GitHub Account, making sure to use your .edu address
• Use GitHub/Edu to request a free micro plan: these let us use private accounts
• Setup a GitHub SSH Key
• Install git locally

Git - Configure

• $ git config –global user.name *Your Name*
• $ git config –global user.email *Your email*
• $ git config –global push.default current
• After you recieve your free micro account on GitHub, create a private empty repository called IOLab2014
• It will provide you with an SSH git path, let's call it PATH
• You must use the SSH PATH starting with git@
• $ git clone git@...(PATH) (on local)
• $ git remote add origin git@...(PATH) (on local)
• $ git remote add iolab git@github.com:alexmilowski/iolab.git
• Add Alex and Ramit as collaborrators to your github repositories

Git - Homeworks

• Go to master – git checkout master
• Pull from our repository - $ git pull iolab master
• Start a new branch – git checkout –b *branch name*
• Add required files – git add *file name*
• Commit the added files - git commit -m "*your commit message*"
• push to GitHub – git push origin *branch name*
• Submit Pull Request (go to your github account and submit a pull request)

We will get notified of this request since we are all added as colaborrators. WE WILL MERGE THESE TO YOUR MASTER.
