Figure sharing test repository
This repository contains figures of formaldehyde and other miscalleneous figures
- Go to github and log in (if you don't have user there, do make one)
- Click the green button that says New to create a new repository
- Make up a name for your repository to put in the repository name field (this repository is called git_figure_test)
- Make the repository private if you just want to share with a few people (for now), or public if you want it to be available for anyone from the very beginning
- Click the green Create repository button
- Navigate to the folder with what you want to share, or make a new one. Having it have the same name as the repository is nice, but not necessary
- Type and run the following commands:
git init
git add name-or-regexp-of-files-in-folder-to-add
git commit -m "First commit"
git -M main
git remote add origin [email protected]:yourusername/the-repository-name-you-choose
git push -u origin main
- To check status in your terminal:
git status
Will tell you which files have changed, which are untracked and which are staged for commit.
- To stage one or more files for commit:
git add filname-or-regexp
- To commit changes:
git commit -m "A commit message"
- To push changes to github:
git push
If you have a new branch, you may need to tweak this, but if you run this you will get a recommendation for how to do so.
- To pull changes from github. (If someone else has changed the code, or you've changed it in the web interface or from a different machine.)
git pull
- To make a new branch to switch to:
git checkout -b name-of-new-branch
If you omit the -b part of the command, you change to an existing branch of that name.
