How to Setup Git Linux

Setup

1. Start the Terminal for the Linux Distro
2. Access Superuser sudo su
3. Create a ssh key utilizing the ed25519 algorithm, this is done by the command ssh-keygen -t ed25519 -C "Add Email or other comment" or ssh-keygen -t rsa -b 4096 -C "Add Email or other comment
4. Use default location for ssh keygen (press enter)
5. Use a passphrase for the sshkeygen, github does not allow empty passphrases for the sshkeygen.
6. Check if the SSH agent is running with the following command eval "$(ssh-agent -s)"
7. Add SSH private key to the ssh-agent with the following command ssh-add /root/.ssh/[your ssh key] you may need to type in your ssh key password.
8. Access the following area in GitHub: Settings -> SSH and GPG keys -> New SSH Key.
9. Copy the content of /root/.ssh/[your ssh key].pub (including the E-Mail and the "ssh-ed25519" part and create the key
10. To confirm it all worked, try the command ssh -T git@github.com. GitHub will notify the user if everything worked properly.
11. Install GitHub onto the local system, this is done with the command apt-get install git
12. Clone the repository using the SSH link. This link is found in each repository under the "<> Code" symbol.
13. With this, the repository should be installed locally. Now any changes to the directory will be updated to github after the following commands are done:
    a. Set up basic identification for your pushes. This is done with the command git config --global user.email "email@email.email and git config --global user.name "username"
    b. git add . or a specific file if the entire repository shouldn't be upgraded.
    c. git commit -m "Message" this is to prepare the message for the commit.
    d. git push to push the added files to the GitHub directory.
