Challenge

Follow this walkthrough to learn how to:

• Create a remote repository on Github

• Clone a repo to your local environment on C9

• Push changes from local to your remote repository

Useful Git Commands

add changes	commit changes	push to remote
git add <filename> or	git commit -m "example message"	git push origin master
git add . (to add all changes)

Use the following command so that whenever you push, you can store your credentials and don't have to type them every single time you push.

store git credentials
git config credential.helper store

Note that nothing will appear, however next time you push and are prompted to enter your credentials they will be stored and you will no longer be prompted for them.

Alternatively you can use the following set of commands :

git config --global user.name "your username"

git config --global user.password "your password"

git config --global user.email "your email(used for github)"
