Key Point

A version control system

allows you to share code and projects with others

Allows going back to make changes and fix mistakes. Like a time machine

Repository tool

A repository contains all of your project's files and each file's revision history. You can discuss and manage your project's work within the repository. ... For user-owned repositories, you can give other people collaborator access so that they can collaborate on your project.

Creating a new Repository: create a new repo for each project

step 1 is always creating a new repo for each project

use local path (path to your own computer) ex. is code file in documents of finder

select read me option

can input information about project

Git Ignore: Files and folders you dont want to move up to git hub

things not created by you, saves time and space

system files

libraries

Advice: if using javascript, for front or back end, you can choose the following depending on the platform you are using:

node is recommended

Python

swift (ios)

License: leave blank for now (default copyright)

tells people what they can and cannot do with your source code

default: no reproduction, distribution, or creative deviation allowed

for open source projects use open source license

starting from blank slate, MIT license is a good way to go for open source

license can always be changed

Click Publish Repository

ensure it is the correct project in name

uncheck keep this code private

private code is paid service

code needs to be public for assignments to be graded

always include a commit message

commit to

puch to origin
