Getting started with git how to post to github remotely github push no username or password using ssh
/* Git definitely has many advantages in procuring your hard work. Ensuring your recently completed working files and or directories are stored and safe is almost priceless. Git can be a bear to get started with, but I've posted commands to get you and your repo up and running in no time. I did some googling and found some great resources by others and though I'd make a mash-up of everything I found in simple yet effective list of commands to make your life easier. */

/* Firstly, if you are working on a new project I recommend doing the following:*/
git init
git add . // Adds everything in current directory.
git commit -m "This is a message related to the soon to be update"
git remote add origin https://github.com/<username>/<project>.git
git remote -v // See if your paths are set correctly.
git remote set-url origin git@github.com:<username>/<project>.git // Create a ssh tunnel to your repository NOTE: you must have your public key added to git account
/* Preliminary SSH tunnel instructions (i.e. No username or password required) */
cat ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub
copy public key - including ssh-rsa in the beginning
Open github account > settings > ssh keys -> add ssh key()
ssh -T git@github.com // This syncs your computer to your github account
// Of course it may be different for everyone but this worked for me.
/* How I use git on a daily basis as a lone wolf */
Make modification to project.file
git add project.file
git commit -m "Updated file"
git push // Done! Well, hopefully you are.
// If your repository has already been updated from someone else or from within git hub directly.
git pull origin master
