Welcome to the Git 101 workshop!

Intro & Cheatsheets

Here are some useful cheatsheets for Git & GitHub commands:

• Cheatsheet for Mac & Linux Users
• Cheatsheet for Windows Users
• List of Git Commands

Before you start

1. In your terminal, run the command git version. If Git is not installed, you can install it here
2. For some parts of the challenge, we will be using a text editor. Download Sublime Text if you don't have one already
3. Set your username & email on git. To set your username, run: git config --global user.name "your_name". Switch your_name for whatever your name is.
4. To set your email, run: git config --global user.email "your_email". Switch your_email to whatever your email is.
5. Make sure to sign up for GitHub.

Challenge 1

Remember to use your cheatsheet, get help from your buddy, & ask for help.

1. Open your terminal
2. Print out your directory
3. Create a new folder using your command line
4. Move into your new folder and create a new file named index.html
5. Initialise git for the directory
6. On your desktop, drag your new index.html file into your text editor. Write something inside & save it
7. In your terminal, use the Git command to review the status of your files
8. Add your index.html to the staging area
9. Add a commit message to explain what changed in your file
10. Create a new branch & go into it
11. Add a new line of text in your index.html file
12. Again, add your changes and create a commit message about the changes
13. Now, use git checkout to get back to your master branch
14. Merge the changes from your branch into your master branch

Challenge 2

1. Open your terminal
2. Print out your current directory. Make sure you are in your Desktop or in the previous folder you were working with
3. Go to this repo: https://github.com/sheesh19/workshops-github-101
4. Fork the repository (to make you the Master of the repo)
5. git clone your new repo into your folder

Challenge 3

1. Create a new branch & switch to the new branch
2. Update the HTML file with your name & save it
3. To save the version, use git add <file_name>
4. Add a commit message with git commit -m "your commit message"
5. Run git remote -v to see the remote repo linked to your project
6. Finally, push your branch to GitHub! Make sure to use git push origin <your_branch_name>
7. Create a pull request & merge your branch on GitHub

Congratulations! You've made your own local files, used a GitHub repo, and created a pull request to update the master.
