GIT

Basics:

Install/set up Git

sudo apt-get install git # for Debian/Ubuntu users
brew install git # for Mac OS X users with Homebrew installed

Tell Git who you are
First, you need to tell Git who you are:

git config --global user.email "you@example.com"
git config --global user.name "Your Name"

Clone a repository
git clone git@github.com:<your github account>/afraid-to-commit.git

$ git status
# On branch master
nothing to commit (working directory clean)

Create a new branch
$ git checkout -b amend-my-name
Switched to a new branch 'amend-my-name'

git checkout -b new-branch existing-branch

Stage your changes

git add attendees_and_learners.rst

Commit your changes
git commit -m "added my github name"

To make local branch as remote
git checkout -b new-branch existing-branch

git push
