Files Worth adding to a repository

  • .gitignore: Specifies intentionally untracked files to ignore Comman gitignore files
  • License: A software license tells others what they can and can't do with your source code, so it's important to make an informed decision. Add license to GitHub repo

Initializing a git repo: 2 ways

Create remote first Create a new repo or fork an existing repo in your Github account online. Then use git clone <repo.git> to copy the repo to your local machine. (This is what we did in the workshop.)

Create local first Locally create a new directory for your project, cd to the directory, and enter git init. This will turn your directory into a git repo with a .git file. Add a remote with git remote add <remote_name> <remote_repo_url> and set this as the repo to push to with git push -u <remote_name> <local_branch_name>.
