First of all, initialize a git repo on the local machine by typing:
>>git init
in the git command prompt under the working directory.

In order to add the files one can use the command
>> git add .
The . ensures all files in the directory become part of the repo

At this time one can leave a commit message keeping track of the changes made in the repo
>> git commit -m "A message"

% ------------------------------- Useful Tricks Learnt
% Use ={}& to align subequations to the left
% Use = for single equations
% Put comments % in between the lines in order to avoid forming a new paragraph.
% To enter special characters into Inkspace figures, use Ctrl+U and then enter the unicode. e.g., for \times symbol, the unicode is U+0D7. So the key entry would be Ctrl+U U+0d7 and then press enter.

% ----------------- To compile with references use the following order in Shell"
% 1. pdflatex filename.tex
% 2. bibtex filename (no extension)

I have messed many times syncnig local repos with remote ones. To avoid that in future, following is a short procedure that I need to follow.

1. If work has been started locally, start with the Gist with instructions on how to upload the local repo to Github.
2. If work has been started remotely, 
  First step is to clone the remote repo locally:
      Once the local repo is initialized an synced with remote:
        git init
        git remote add <origin>
        git clone
      The above command creates a local clone of the remote repo that can be worked on the PC offline.

Tip to avoid multipage pdf generation headache:
Ensure text is always top of eerything
select text and then Object -> Raise to top
All text objects can be selected from the find command enabling the 'select by type -> text' option.

Open the pdf_tex file after compiling, and delete the lines that says \includegraphics for pages other than 1
