Git Hubbing

Brent Beer came to Talk GitHub at the TriJug but i missed it.

Linus Torvalds created git, ideas from bitkeeper , says he built it in two weeks.

Distributed means no one place has the server. offline capable. On your own branch where as CVS struggled with branching. Git like a boss

Here is how i learned Git which walks you thru generating ssh keys :

C:\Program Files (x86)\Git\bin\ssh>ssh-keygen -t rsa -C “yagottabelieve@gmail.com”
Generating public/private rsa key pair.
Enter file in which to save the key (/c/Users/xyz/.ssh/id_rsa):
Created directory ‘/c/Users/xyz/.ssh’.
Enter passphrase (empty for no passphrase):
Enter same passphrase again:
Your identification has been saved in /c/Users/xyz/.ssh/id_rsa.
Your public key has been saved in /c/Users/xyz/.ssh/id_rsa.pub.
The key fingerprint is:

https://github.com/settings/profile

go to .ssh dir and get text of pub key

C:\Users\xyz\.ssh>type id_rsa.pub

paste it into github ssh (https://github.com/settings/ssh)

Test out key:
C:\Users\xyz\.ssh>ssh -T git@github.com

C:\Users\xyz\.ssh>git config –global user.name “Dave-o”

C:\Users\xyz\.ssh>git config –global user.email “yagottabelieve@gmail.com”

GitHub for Windows includes this helper, and provides a git shell so you don’t need to install and configure git manually

cd c:\wamp\www\jquery

git init

git status

git add file1.txt

git commit – m “add test file “

git remote add orgin git@github.com:technobuzz/jquery.git

git pull orgin master

git push orgin master

Usually if I have been working on another machine and have already committed my changes to GitHub, so I can just pull down all the latest code, and start where I left off by using: git pull

git simple guide

your local repository consists of three "trees" maintained by git. the first one is your Working Directory which holds the actual files. the second one is the Index which acts as a staging area and finally the HEAD which points to the last commit you've made.

workflow for submitting pull requests

Forking a repository Before you can begin editing code you must first create a fork of the GitHub repository you wish to contribute to. Navigate to the GitHub page of the repository you wish to fork. Click on the fork button on the top right corner of the page.

Unlike giving a “star” to a project, which is similar to a Facebook “like” button, when you fork a GitHub project, you are making a somewhat different statement. You are not just saying, “I could use what you wrote,” since a clone is sufficient for that purpose. You are saying, “I could use your text and want to improve it.”

Gist is a simple way to share snippets and pastes with others. All gists are Git repositories, so they are automatically versioned, forkable and usable from Git.
