Tutorial

After completing this brief tutorial, you will have a basic understanding of git necessary for the upcoming bootcamp.

Step 1: On your account create a project
> Navigate to your profile
> Select the 'Repositories' tab
> Select 'New'
> Name the repository 'introduction'
> You can add a description (optional)
> Ensure it is public
> Select 'Create Repository'

Step 2: Clone project to your device > GitHub provides commands that you can follow along with

Step 3: Add a small introduction about yourself to your README.md and push the changes to the main branch
How to push to repositories

```
git add .
```

This will add everything in your folder to the repository

```
git add READ.md
```

This will only add the READ.md. When you 'add' items, those items are 'staged' and ready to be committed and pushed to the origin (GitHub).

Check that the correct files are added git status

After you run git status, you can ensure only desired files are staged and have the opporunity to unstage any unnecessary files

```
git restore --staged <file>
git commit -m "introduction added"
git push
```

Step 4: Create a new branch called "branched"

```
git switch -c branched

```

Or

```
git checkout branched

```

Add a new text file to the branch

```
touch experience.txt
```

Inside the text file, tell us a little bit about your experience with Java. Push introduction to new branch.

Step 5: Fork icode project to your machine

On the top right corner of this repository, Click 'Fork', this will fork the repository to your profile.
Clone the newly forked repository to your machine
In the README.md file, under 'Participants' add the link to your newly created introduction repository
> [Your Full Name](http://link) -- Your Full Name should match the name you used to register for this event.
Push changes with your name as the commit message
