Git Basics

“Git is a free and open source distributed version control system designed to handle everything from small to very large projects with speed and efficiency. ” (Git). This just means that developers (or designers in our case) can pass around files easily and manage different versions of the files, all under one online location. We use Github to keep our files organized and available for everyone within Spark SC.

Command Line Git

2. Clone this Repository: Copy the SSH key into your terminal and run git clone [ssh-key]. This should create a folder called “graphics” in your file system. Enter that folder on your terminal.
3. Contribute your files: Add your files that you want to share to this folder in the respective committee folder (or create your own folder for your design project). Run git add --all and git commit -m "Your commit message here" and then git push to send your files off to Github for everyone else to see!
