You have saved the experienced programmers in the office in which myself and another intern are working on our first collaborate project a ton of extra work teaching us how to use GitHub. Thank you!

amazing! literally answered my questions as i was thinking them. voice sounds clear too, i can watch in double speed and understand clearly.

Thank you so much for the awesome tutorial. Learning GitHub was driving me crazy but you explained everything clearly and concisely! I think I got it now! You are awesome at instructing!

Thank you so much! I always wondered how github worked and you have answered all my questions!

So glad I found this, thanks so much Kev!

I have one query though. If I make my upload private, how safe will it be? Will anyone be able to see or fork or even clone that on their PC?

As long as it's your repo, if not you'd have to put in a pull request and the owner of the repo would have to pull them in. If not, you just add them to your local folder, then push the changes to your repo :)

What I really missed in this tutorial is pulling a master to my local. I am currently following a project on Github, I am not a programmer, so I wait for them to update changes then manually download the files to my computer and overwrite my local files. I have installed the desktop, but I don't know how to do it in the app. Could you leave a comment explaing how or a video? Thank you in advance.

when you make the comments about changes you make to the branch, do you do this for every change? or would you typically comment about a group of changes? thanks!

Hi Kevin, thanks for the vid. So we can do it all without using the command line? Why is the command line referred to so much if we can just use Github this way?

@KevinPowell

7 жыл бұрын

Awesome question James! As a designer who moved into the front-end world, I love using the desktop app (which of course has changed since I made these videos, but the concepts are the same). In the developer world, the command line is very present though, as you can use it for so many things. Once you get good at it, you can do a lot of things really fast, from installing frameworks, things like Sass and other compilers, auto-refresh, uglify JS and much, much more. It's powerful stuff, and probably worth looking into. Is there anything wrong with using the desktop app? Not in my opinion, but if you want to get into this as a career, at one point you'll probably want to dive into the command line.

Thanks for the video. I've been taking front-end classes and they all seem to end up with git and heroku. What I can't understand is, when just doing a simple project that involves only HTML/CSS/JS, the editor won't allow changes to be saved without manually overwriting them. Additionally, my computer has slowed to a crawl. I cannot find these answers anywhere. Thanks in advance.

What is the advantage of using the terminal or git bash (windows terminal is garbage) if this is so simple to use ?

hi Kevin, thanks for your video. If I use my account to login github desktop and connect your github project. I write some code , and commit the code. I got error message :Authentication failed. You may not have permission to access the repository. Open options and verify that you are singed in with an account that has permission to access this repository. I can download the code. but i can not publish branch. what's wrong? thanks

@KevinPowell

Because it's my repository, you can't make changes to it, unless I add you as a contributor. What you can do is a fork of my repository. That will copy it to your account. Then you can make any changes you want, and if you make something you think should be done to mine, you can put in a pull request. I can see what your proposing, and if I agree, I can pull those changes in.

No question is stupid! But I honestly don't know the answer, I never used the Git Plus... I do know with the beta version of Atom (you can get it here atom.io/beta ) They've added Git integration, and you can create repositories directly from Atom (and pull / push and all that). It'll probably be pushed to the normal version in the not too distant future.

@KevinPowell

6 жыл бұрын

Pretty much, both people, or the full team, will be accessing the same repo. Either each person can work on their own branch, or multiple people can work on the same branch. They have the files locally on their computer, and then when they commit them to GitHub, someone has to approve the changes. It'll show what changes have been made, and you can leave comments to one another. If two people change the same thing, it creates a conflict, and won't allow you to commit your changes (which is a good thing!), so the conflict needs to be sorted out, and then the changes can be committed. If you want some more concrete examples, find some open-source projects on GitHub (there are tons, Bootstrap is the first that comes to mind though), and see how things work there, because everyone is working on the same files. The big difference with something Open Source, where you are not a team member, is you will create a Fork, which means it copies all the files to your own GitHub account. You make all the changes you think need to be made, and then you can pull those changes into the original repo, but again, someone needs to approve it.

A pull is taking things from the repository. A merge is if you have a branch, and you want to merge that branch with the master (or another branch). Publish is for creating a new repository.

This is a very good tutorial, thank you. A suggestion: please don't wave the cursor around to attract attention to an area. It's very distracting and irritating. (You are in control, but the viewer is not; so for the viewer it's an unexpected, random thing to follow.) Instead, please use editing to zoom in on the area, or highlight the area. Thank you.

Great video. I've one question, how's "clone or download" is different from fork? Thanks a lot.

@KevinPowell

6 жыл бұрын

If you download it, you'll just get a copy of the files on your computer. Clone is more or less the same thing. Generally, you'll fork a repo. Say I have something on GitHub that you want to work on. You could create a fork of it, which means it will make a copy of it on your GitHub account. Then you'll clone (or download) it onto your local machine to make changes to it. You make your changes, sync it with your fork on your account, and then you could push your changes to my main branch by making a pull request. I could then approve it and bring it into the main branch.
