GitHub in 5 minutes

Clone a repository
Cloning refers to making a copy of a repository (e.g. https://github.com/bbc/vjdata.24555.cqcfsa) to your local machine - so you can have access to the code on your own pc.
git clone git@github.com:bbc/vjdata.24555.cqcfsa.git

Initiate a repository from scratch
Requires an existing folder whose changes you want to track (called the 'working directory') This command will create a .git folder inside the directory, which is responsible tracking the changes your are making.

  • cd into the directory
  • git init

commit flow

On branch (e.g. master), do

git checkout -b my_branch_name # create a new branch
git status # check that your're on new branch, and if there's anything to commit
git add . # add everything, or alternatively, add one by one
git commit -m 'my commit message"
git push # at this point... git will respond by saying did you mean "git push --set-upstream origin my_branch_name", so follow that command to complete pushing your local branch
