Get Started with Git

Accomplish

• Stage working code for `commit`

• `Commit` code locally

• `Push` code to remote repository

By the end of this module:

Before continuing:

You should have completed:

• Module - Set your CodeSpace

  • https://slides.com/shinobi881/codespace

• Passed one of the tests in the coding challenge

Recap

What we've done so far:

• Complete basics on using the CLi

• Setup our Github accounts and Git CLi

• `Fork` and `clone` a Github repo

• `open .` To view the cloned project in our finder/explorer

• Open our project in Sublime
  

• Edit, run and pass a test in the browser. PHEW!!!

Let's Git it Started

Make viewable on your desktop:

• Your command line interface

• A Chrome browser with Github profile loaded

Steps

At the prompt `$`:

1. `git status` - view changed files

2. `git add rawstrings.js` - stage changes for commit

3. `git commit` - save changes for pushing

Default editor

After `git commit` you will taken to a default code editor. This is a sensitive environment so follow the video instructions on `vim` and `nano`.

NOTE: Be very careful wait for instructions

Time to push

We're done with committing time to push to remote

1. `git push origin master` 

2. Enter your Github handle (case sensitive) 

3. Enter your Github password (will be phantom)

Happy Coding

• This is the end of the Git pre-course

• Keep passing tests and keep committing

• If you get stuck, use your resources, and review the modules. 

• See the summary of git commands on the next slide
