# 1) Basic commands
$ cd yourrepo/

#file that contains instructions, licenses, etc.
$ touch README.md

#Initialize repository, .git folder is created within "yourrepo/ "
$ git init

#Add the files to synchronize			
$ git add README.md

#Assign a GitHub repository to "yourrepo/"
$ git remote add origin https://github.com/huberflores/Gyroscope-Accelerometer.git

#Generally, it's a good idea to update repository before committing. This will allow you to avoid version conflicts
$ git pull origin

#Commit to local repository
$ git commit -m "instructions"

#Commit to GitHub
$ git push -u origin master



# 2) Some other useful combinations
#To update a modified file
$ git add TouchGyroscope/src/mcm/accelerometer/gyroscope/DrawView.java
$ git commit -m "Redrawing test"
$ git push -u origin master


#To synchronize local repository with GitHub (Always before to commit)
$ git pull origin


#Repository already existed in github
$ git init
$ git remote add origin https://github.com/huberflores/ThesisLatexTemplate.git
$ git pull origin master


#Remove folder
$ git rm -r vendor/plugins
$ git commit -m "Your comment here"
$ git push -u origin master


#To check which files have been modified
$ git diff

$ git status
$ git add ...
$ git commit ...

#In case a "git add" command is added by mistake
$ git reset
$ git status

#In case a file is changed, but the changes want to be discarded, such that the file is the one in the remote repository
$ git checkout -f file.java

#Why are my contributions not showing up on my profile?

$ git config --global user.email "kyoraul@gmail.com"

$ git config user.email
# kyoraul@gmail.com	#This should appear, if not then
