Setup Git

  1. Install Git on your development computer (if not already done), using the instructions at https://git-scm.com/book/en/v2/Getting-Started-Installing-Git.
  2. Open a terminal on your dev computer and Set up your identity & preferred text editor (optional) according to instructions here - https://git-scm.com/book/en/v2/Getting-Started-First-Time-Git-Setup

3. Navigate to your project folder and initialize a local repo

$ git init

4. Connect to a remote Github.com repo to your local repo

$ git remote add <alias> <remote_url>

Commiting changes to Github

Git has a great variety of options, but the most basic steps for committing your changes to Github are;

1. Check local repo status

git status

2. Pull any changes from the remote repo;

git pull origin main

3. Add all your changes to the local repo

git add .

4. Commit your changes to the local repo

git commit -m "COMMIT MESSAGE"

5. Push local changes to the remote repo

git push origin main

(by default, remote repo is called 'origin' and local repo branch is 'master')
