This is my first practice repo on github, establishing the workflow with 2 clients (home,work) and the ability to push changes from each to github and pull to each from the server.

• Note: making the new repo gives useful hints.
• Note: add both starts tracking file and stages files. -a auto stages

ssh-keygen -C "[email protected]" -t rsa

Note: login to github and add the resulting public keys for each client

git config --global user.name "my name"
git config --global user.email "[email protected]"

Note: these can be done locally to without the --global flag

mkdir mydir; cd mydir
git init                 //initialize this repo
git add .                // . recursively adds all the files
git commit -m 'initial'  //commit changes

Now push it: git remote add origin [email protected]:mchampine/practice.git //name online repo "origin" git push origin master //push local master branch to remote origin (on the server)

git clone [email protected]:mchampine/practice.git  //clone via the private url

Add a file, add it to staging, commit and push it to the server:

vi README
git add README
git commit -m 'added a readme'
git push origin master

Edit a file, stage and commit, push it:

vi README
git commit -a -m 'a comment'  //commit all changes and deletions 
git push origin master   //push to the server

git pull                      //don't have to specify where

Repeat over and over indefinitely...
