Step One - The Basics of GIT

Lets start with initializing the the project.

git init ProjectName

git init will create a empty project on your computer.

Now you can create some file inside of the ProjectName.

Let’s create a Readme.me using VIM.

vim Readme.me
/* To insert a text press i */

Readme
=====

Hello World.

/* Hit Esc and ":wq". PS: W will save your file and Q will let you quit from VIM */

Now you have created a file inside of your ProjectName directory.

Lets see what we have done with GIT. To know the file changes

git status

You will see that Readme.md is a new file into the branch. Now we have to add this file into the repository branch.

Lets add file using command git add fileName

git add Readme.md

We have added the Readme file but we havent added it permenantly. To do thjat we have to commit the file and add notice or short description message by using git commit -m command.

git commit -m (-m ‘Your description message’)

git commit -m 'Readme file created'

Now our repository has saved in our local computer. But we’ll need web server that we can interact with other developers.

Step Two - Github.com and interaction

We already created the Git Repositry on our local computer. But we need to push the repository to the web server that someone can access and edit the file.

Easiest way to start with is using github.com. Go to www.github.com and created account.

And create empty repository.

You don’t need any extra configuration in this part if you’re following this post.

Now you have created empty reposity in github.com, also you have the reposity on your local machine. It’s time to push your local data into your github repository.

Push an existing repository

Adding a connection to your github repository

git remote add origin https://github.com/username/projectName.git

Then transmitting your filkes to the repositry

git push -u origin master

It’ll ask your username and password.

Username for 'https://github.com': /* write your username here */ 
/* Hit enter then enter your password*/
Password for 'https://username@github.com': /* Enter your password then hit enter*/

Now you will see the transmission progress. Counting objects .. Delta compression using up to .. Compressing object: 100% …done * [new branch] master -> master etc

Now if you go to your github repository web page, you will see your Readme.md file added.

Adding a contributor to your repository

Select your repository that you want to add a collaborator into it. You’ll find settings navigatiopn on your right hand side of your repository page. Then you need to select a Collaborators menu on your left hand side.

Forking a project

Fork is like copy
