First off, issue the following command:
brew doctor
That is a way for Homebrew to make sure that it is properly installed on your system.
In order to update/upgrade Homebrew (which you should do every day or so), you issue the following command:
brew update && brew upgrade
1.) Type in the following at your command line:
git config --global color.ui true
That just makes git use color.
2.) Then type:
git config --global user.name "YOUR NAME"
so in your case:
git config --global user.name "Kenny Batista"
3.) Then type in:
git config --global user.email "YOUR@EMAIL.com"
Same deal as above, maybe yours would be:
git config --global user.email "kenny@kenny.com"
4.) Next:
ssh-keygen -t rsa -C "YOUR@EMAIL.com"
So again, maybe yours would be:
ssh-keygen -t rsa -C "kenny@kenny.com"
Just keep hitting enter, don't change any of the settings. When it asks you for a passphrase, I recommend keeping it blank.
5.) Next, make sure ssh-agent is running:
eval "$(ssh-agent -s)"
6.) Add your key to the agent:
ssh-add ~/.ssh/id_rsa
7.) First, issue the following command at the command prompt:
pbcopy < ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub
pbcopy is a nifty little command that copies the contents of a file to your clipboard.
8.) Go to GitHub, your account, settings, then click SSH Keys
Click Add SSH-Key
In the title field, give your computer a name, i.e. kenny-macbook (or whatever you want)
9.) In the "Key Field", hit Command-V to paste your key into the field.
Click on Add Key. GitHub will ask you for your password, enter it.
10.) In your terminal issue the following command:
ssh -T git@github.com
You should see something like:
RSA key fingerprint is 16:27:ac:a5:76:28:2d:36:63:1b:56:4d:eb:df:a6:48.
Are you sure you want to continue connecting (yes/no)?```
Type in:
yes
Then you should get a message like:
```Hi username! You've successfully authenticated, but GitHub does not
provide shell access.```
**You are all set.**
*If you have any problems let me know.*
Thanks Damian! I completed both guides.
