Go to
https://github.com/.
In the upper right corner,
pick a user name, type your email address,
create a password,
and press the green button that says
“Sign up for free”.
Your instructor’s username is
MarkMeretzky
and his GitHub account is
here.
After you have logged into your new account, you can chicken out and delete it if you want to make a fresh start. Press the Account Settings button (a wrench and screwdriver) in the upper right. Then select Account Settings in the menu on the left. Then press the red “Delete your account” button.
Now that you have logged into GitHub,
you will see the GitHub Bootcamp, containing four big, square buttons
(If you don’t see them, click on Documentation → GitHub Help
in the lower right.)
Press the first button,
“Set Up Git”.
Follow the directions for installing the program
git.
iPhone people in INFO1-CE9236 must install the program
git
on a Mac.
Android people in INFO1-CE9705
and C++ people in INFO1-CE9264, INFO1-CE9265, and INFO1-CE9266
can install the program
git
on any machine: Mac, PC, Linux or other Unix.
You might already have
git
on your machine.
In the instructions for
setting up git
and
generating ssh keys,
type the white commands
(e.g.,
ls),
not the green lines (e.g.,
config id_rsa id_rsa.pub known_hosts)
in the
Terminal
window.
The green lines are the lines that the computer types back to you.
Do not type the dollar sign at the start of the while lines.
That dollar sign is the
Bash shell
prompt.
For example, to see if you have a subdirectory named
.ssh
in your home directory,
you could say the following.
(ls
stands for “list”;
the
l
is a lowercase L, not the digit 1.
The
~
is a tilde and stands for your home directory.)
ls -ld ~/.sshAnd to see the files in this directory, you could say
ls -l ~/.ssh
iPhone people in INFO1-CE9236 can now skip down to section 6 below.
I downloaded and ran
Git-1.7.6-preview20110708.exe
Select Destination Location: C\Program Files (x86)\Git:
Select Components: I just pressed Next.
Select Start Menu Folder: Git
Adjusting your PATH Environment: • Use Git Bash Only
Choosing the SSH executable: • Use OpenSSH
Configuring the line ending conversions: • Checkout Windows-style
If it says that it could not create the directory
C:\Program Files (x86)\Git
because access is denied,
select the destination location
C:\Users\Myname\AppData\Local\Git
To launch Git Bash,
Microsoft Windows start button →
All Programs →
Git folder →
Git Bash
For those of you who use the Solaris Unix server
i5.nyu.edu,git
has already been installed on this machine:
/usr/local/bin/git --version git version 1.7.5.4
/usr/local/bin/git --help more /usr/local/doc/git/Documentation/git.txt
I installed
git
on my Red Hat Linux box
oit.scps.nyu.edu
by downloading the source code of
git
onto
oit.scps.nyu.edu
by going to
http://git-scm.com/
and clicking on Source in the “Download Git” box on the right.
Then I compiled the source code with the folloowing commands.
wget http://kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/git-1.7.5.4.tar.bz2 bunzip2 git-1.7.5.4.tar.bz2 tar xvf git-1.7.5.4.tar rm git-1.7.5.4.tar cd git-1.7.5.4 more README more INSTALL make make install
The executable file of
git
installed into the directory
~/bin.
A
repository
(abbreviated repo)
will hold the files you upload to GitHub.
Press the second big, square button,
“Create A Repository”
and follow the
directions.
The “Project Name” of your first repository
will be
Feb13,
with an uppercase letter
O
and no
space.
Who has access to this repository? Press the radio button for Anyone. Then go to the instructions for iPhone people below.
When you are done creating the repository, you can see all of your repositories by clicking Account Settings (the wrench and screwdriver) in the upper right, and then Repositories in the menu on the left.
Want to chicken out and delete your new repository
so you can make a fresh start?
Click on the repository and then press
Settings →
Danger Zone →
Delete this repository.
iPhone people: skip down to section 6 below.
When Eclipse starts up, it asks you to select a workspace directory.
Instead of accepting the default directory named
workspace,
ask it for a directory named
INFO1-CE9705.
On Mac,
for example,
Select a workspace: /Users/myname/Documents/INFO1-CE9705 (instead of /Users/myname/Documents/workspace)
On a PC in 7 E 12 lab 227,
Select a workspace: C:\Users\computerlab\INFO1-CE9705 (instead of C:\Users\computerlab\workspace)
Create your project using Eclipse.
Then type the following
in the Terminal window of your Mac,
or the Command Prompt window of your PC.
username
is your GitHub loginname.
git config --global user.name "Your Real Name" git config --global user.email "youremailaddress" cd to your INFO1-CE9705 directory git init ls -ld .git git add Projectname git commit -m 'I committed Projectname.' git remote add origin git@github.com:username/INFO1-CE9705.git git pull origin master git push -u origin master
Then point your browser at your
INFO1-CE9705
repository at GitHub.
Click on the folder for the project that you just uploaded.
There’s a Download ZIP button
you can press to download the entire project as a
.zip
file.
You can then import the
.zip
file into Eclipse;
see
these instructions.
C++ people will upload the
.C
or
.cpp
file they created (e.g.,
hello.C).
In the following instructions,
we will assume that the name of the file to be uploaded is
filename.
We will assume that the name of the repository is
repositoryname (e.g.,
INFO1-CE9264).
We will assume that your GitHub username is
username.
To upload the file
filename
to the repository
repositoryname,
type the following commands in your Macintosh Terminal window,
or your Git Bash window in Microsoft Windows,
or your Unix shell window.
We assume you have already uploaded a README file, above.
The
git remote add origin
might be unnecessary if you have previously given this command;
git will say “remote origin already exists’.
git config --global user.name "Your Real Name" git config --global user.email "youremailaddress" ls -l ~/.gitconfig git config --list cd to the directory that contains filename git help git init ls -ld .git git status git add filename git ls-files git commit -m 'I added filename to the repository named repositoryname.' git remote add origin git@github.com:username/repositoryname.git git remote --verbose git push origin master
Then view the repository,
select
filename,
and click on
raw.
Microsoft Windows people: to see the manual page for each command,
point your browser at
C:\Users\Yourname\AppData\Git\doc\git\html\git-init.html,git-add.html,
When you created your project in Xcode,
you did not check the checkbox for
“Source Control: Create local git repository for this project”.
You should therefore have no
.git
directory, and we will remove the
.git
directory if it does exist.
Then we will give the
git
init
command below to create the
.git
directory.
Let’s assume your project is named
Feb13
and is stored in a folder named
Feb13
on your Macintosh Desktop.
username
is your GitHub username.
cd ~/Desktop/Feb13 pwd (verify that you have travelled to the Feb13 directory) git config --global user.name "Your Real Name" (e.g., "John Smith") git config --global user.email "youremailaddress" (e.g., "john.smith@smithco.com") git config --list (verify that you created user.name and user.email) ls -ld .git (verify that the .git folder does not yet exist) rm -fR .git (type this command, if necessary, to remove the .git folder) ls -ld .git (verify that the .git folder does not now exist) git init Initialized empty Git repository in /Users/nyuuser/Desktop/Feb13/.git/ ls -ld .git (verify that the .git folder now does exist) touch README (create an empty README file) ls -l README (verify that you created a README file) git add . (the dot stands for the current directory) git ls-files (verify that you added the files to git's index) git commit -m 'first commit' git remote add origin git@github.com:username/Feb13.git git remote -v (verify that you added a remote named origin) origin git@github.com:username/Feb13.git (fetch) origin git@github.com:username/Feb13.git (push) git push -u origin master
https://github.com/username/Feb13/Feb13
repository.
Here’s my
Feb14
repository;
look in the
Feb14
folder to see the file
main.m..zip
file.
If you change your mind, you can remove the file from GitHub:
git rm filename git commit -m 'I removed filename from repository repositoryname.' git remote add origin git@github.com:username/repositoryname.git git push origin master
