Programming/GitHub

Introduction

GitHub is a web-based hosting service for version control using Git. It is mostly used for computer code. It offers all of the distributed version control and source code management functionality of Git as well as adding its own features.

Usage

GitHub clients are available for Windows too; see https://git-scm.com/download/gui/windows.

Although this will bias towards the Linux command line which is the same as our HPC.

Clone repository

If you just want to download other public repository then this can be downloaded from the GitHub web page itself or within the HPC (Linux) command line as follows:

 $ git clone https://github.com/enggen/Deep-Learning-Coursera

Create repository

First you need an account on GitHub (or GitLab)

• Create a repository on Github under your account (on Web page)
• Then under Linux:

 $ git clone https://github.com/<myacc>/<myrepol>
 $ cd myrepo1
 $ git init
 Initialized empty Git repository
 $  <do whatever you need to do>
 $ git add -A
 $ got commit -a
 $ git push

Update a repository

 $ git clone git@gitlab.com:<myaccount>/<myrepro>
 $ cd <myrepo>
 $ <do whatever you need to do>
 $ git add -A
 $ got commit -a
 $ git push

• Git project and repository set up.
