Github To Terminal How To Use It

I decided with the advent of the Cisco Certified DevNet certifications that it was time to dust off my coding skills (Ada95, Perl and PHP) and learn a modern language.

Github To Terminal How To Use It

As part of this, I chose to use Atom and learn how to use it with Git and GitHub to manage my code revisions.

The Atom editor has a large community-driven ecosystem of plugins.

Installing Atom is as simple as downloading the package and running the installer.

The command for this from the terminal is simply brew install git.

Mostly I did this because Ive found using tools for Linux on the Windows CLI sometimes gets a bit hairy.

Once Git for Windows is installed, there will be new programs Git GUI, Git Bash, and Git.

I recommend going through GitHubs guide to learn how to set up a repository.

First, make a directory where you want to store your repositories.

The URL will come from your GitHub page by clicking Clone or download and then the copy button to copy the URL.

This will make a copy of your repository in a new folder with the same name as your repository.

Next enter the GitHub URL as the source and the directory you created as the target directory and click Clone.

After this is done you could use Git to do commits and pulls, but for simplicity, I chose to use the Git commands embedded in Atom.

These changes will show up when you hit save as an unstaged change.

After staging you must put in a description of the changes before clicking Commit Changes.

Once committed they will be the new current version for your local repository.

The final step is to click the push button to sync the local repository back up to the GitHub repository.

Git, GitHub and Atom all have great documentation to lean on as you do your coding journey.
