Go to https://atom.io and install atom for your PC
Once you have this running you can close down the help windows etc.
Now, locate the Packages menu and scroll down to Settings View > Install packages/themes
In the Install box for Packages you need to find the following and install them:
- tool-bar
- markdown-writer
- toolbar-markdown-writer
Close Atom
OK leaving Atom for the moment, now you need to install git from here:
https://git-scm.com/download/win
You can choose the 64bit version if you have a recent PC otherwise choose the 32bit version but NOT the portable version.
Just go through the setup and choose the default settings as it goes through.
Then it will automatically run something call git-bash
You then need to type this first with your own email:
git config --global user.email “9999999@brookes.ac.uk”
With the email you used on GitHub
git config --global user.name “Your Name”
This would be the username on GitHub
Now go to your Github.com account
Locate your repository and find the Green button that says Clone or Download
Copy the link that looks a bit like this: https://github.com/ox-tale/ox-tale.github.io.git
Locate Packages > Command palette > Toggle
You now can type into the box GitHub:Clone
Paste into here the link above and Clone onto your PC.
Now you can create new posts or edit existing ones.
