setup git repository for storing 'c' source code.
--------------------------------------------------

Main repository is stored on GitHub server: github.com

ssh passwd: 
github login: [email protected]
github passwd: 

setup git:
------------
Global setup:

  git config --global user.name "Jason Angus"
  git config --global user.email [email protected]
  git config --global color.ui true

Next steps:

mkdir ~/swdev
cd ~/swdev

Best to login to github first and check out help section there for clear instructions.

Follow setting up ssh key instructions first: http://help.github.com/linux-set-up-git/

change to ~/swdev on local computer.

git clone [email protected]:j-angus/c.git

creates directory: ~/swdev/c

change to ~/swdev/c

This is the directory for all c development.

Do some work.

add files to be tracked:

$ git add <path to files>

# Let's only store *.c source files and other informational text files. No compiled or object files for now.

save and commit changes to local git repository.

$ git commit

will commit all files added in the last step.

Or we can add and commit previously added files with:
$ git commit -am "commit comment"

push and merge changes to remote, github, repository.


to update on github:

$ git push -u origin master


After we're all setup locally and we want to get the latest revisions from github:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

check to see if we are up to date or not:

$ git remote show origin

get changes from remote but don't merge:
$ git fetch
look at the differences after a fetch:
$ git diff
$ git show

if we're happy with changes, we can merge this way:
$ git merge origin/master

we can fetch and merge in one step with:
$ git pull origin

or even:
$ git pull
