Learning Git and Github

Before you start

At this point, things can get a little frustrating and confusing. We highly recommend that you learn git and github as a team and figure out things together. You don't necessarily have to work physically together all the time (it might help though) but ask your teammates when you're stuck somewhere. If you don't understand something or you're getting a weird error message feel free to ask around. By all means, ask the other teams as well!

Prerequisites

This guide assumes that you know how to use a shell - if you've taken EE 160 you should be familiar with this. If you don't have the background, you'll need to get a little up to speed before continuing.

Resources

First, follow the setup guide to make sure that you have git installed on your computer.

Next, go through these resources:

Assignment

The two assignments below will make sure that you're familiar with everything - if you're having trouble doing these ask for help! You have to make sure that you learn these steps now so that you don't get confused later on.

Setup
Make sure that you have Git installed on your computer and that you have a Github account. If you don't have these things done, make sure you finish them.

Create your own repository
Create your own repository on Github and publish it. Put your biography on there.

Create a team repository
Create a repository for your team on Github. It doesn't matter who creates it. Whoever creates it should give the appropriate permissions to the rest of the team members. After it's created, post your team's summary on the README.md file.

After the summary is posted, every team member should add their name and biography in the same README.md file. Work on this together physically and coordinate everything. You might run into some errors - don't panic! Look online to see if you can resolve the issue and keep trying.
