Git Workflow Tutorial

1st - Ensure git is installed

go to your home directory in the command line
check if theres a hidden folder called .ssh
if so, run cd .ssh. Otherwise, SSH might not be installed … run ssh -v to make sure
if you find a keypair there that you’d like to use … go to the 3rd step
otherwise, in the .ssh folder run ssh-keygen and just press <Enter> to everything if don’t know what’s happening
If you did everything correclty, you should have two new files in the .ssh folder : something and something.pub

login into your github account and go to the main page at the https://github.com/ URL
click on your profile picture [up right corner]
click on Settings
your URL should be something like https://github.com/settings/profile
find an option called SSH and GPG keys and click on it
you should see a New SSH key green button … click on it
add a title to your key and set its Key type to Authentication Key
from your .ssh folder, copy the !!!entire!!! content of the something.pub file into the Key textarea
click the Add SSH key green button and you’re done!

go to https://github.com/supernoter/noter
click the Code green button
select the SSH option and copy the URL it gives you … something like git@github.com:supernoter/noter.git
chose a place on your computer to store the local copy of the repo … I like to put it in the Desktop
wherever it is … open the command line on that place and type git clone git@github.com:supernoter/noter.git
accept everything … and you should see a noter folder there … if so, congrats!

let’s say you have already created a card at the Trello board (https://trello.com/c/1axqVOjS/22-interface-for-configuration-file)
and let’s say you have already created an issue for your demand on github (https://github.com/supernoter/noter/issues)
run git branch issue-10 [change the number for the number of your issue]
run git checkout issue-10 [again, change the number for the number of your issue]
do what you have to do [add files or change existing ones]
when you’re finished, run git add *
then, run git commit -m '[feat] : <what you did here> (https://www.conventionalcommits.org/en/v1.0.0/)
finally, run git push and you’re done!

I’m not a mac user, so this flow might differ on a macos machine. Search on YouTube for SSH Github configuration on mac
Read the git documentation https://git-scm.com/docs/git or simply search for a git tutorial on YouTube
