Basic Git, GitHub, and Students

Git, GitHub, and Students is how we collaborate together during class. Exercises, such as this one, are how we submit work for the rest of class.

In this exercise we'll re-inforce several git concepts and learn how to submit work. Work individually on this. If you finish, help other students.

When you make a commit, please make a good commit message describing what you did.

Tech skills learned

  • Git
  • GitHub

Resources

Tasks

  • Have only one user fork this repository.
  • Clone the forked repository to the person's machine that forked the repo into the ~/gSchoolWork/exercises folder.
  • Create a file called hello.txt.
  • Make a commit with this file.
  • Check git status to make sure you actually commited the file.
  • Push this change to GitHub.
  • Add the text "hello world" to line 1 in the file hello.txt.
  • Make a commit with this change.
  • Push this change to GitHub.
  • Ask for an instructor to review your work.
  • Redirect the output from git log into a file called git-log.txt. NO TEXT EDITORS!.
  • Commit this file with the contents.
  • Push this change to GitHub.
  • Ask for an instructor to review your work.
  • Log into students and create a submission for this exercise. When asked for a repo name, type in basic-git.
  • Clone the forked repository onto the other person's computer
  • On the original computer add "I hope this makes it!" on line 2 to the hello.txt.
  • On the new computer add "Oh no! What's going to happen?" on line 2 to the hello.txt.
  • Make a commit on the first computer. Use git add -p to stage the change.
  • Make a commit on the second computer. Use git add -p to stage the change.
  • Merge these two changes together so they both end up on GitHub, on lines 1 and 2, respectively. hello.txt looks like this after the merge:
hello world
I hope this makes it!
Oh no! What's going to happen?
  • On one of the computers, over-write the old git-log.txt with the new output from git log.
  • Commit and Push.
  • Ask for an instructor to review your work
  • Fork the forked repository to the other person's account.
  • Log into students with the other user and submit this code.
  • Ask for an instructor to review your work

When you're finished, you should BOTH have a repository on GitHub that has two files in, hello.txt and git-log.txt. git-log.txt contains the most recent output from git log and hello.txt with the correct lines.

Now that you've finished this, get some paper and show what you just did visually:

  • Draw the git tree
  • Draw the interactions between each pair's computer and github
  • Ask for an instructor to review your work
