If you don't have it already, install git to your local machine.
To get started, change into the directory in which you'd like to store the code and run
git clone https://github.com/zkbt/SPyFFI.git
This will download all the code in the repository, and start a local branch on your computer.
Configure your local git account (using your own name, e-mail, and preferred editor):
git config --global user.name "Cecilia Payne-Gaposchkin"
git config --global user.email [email protected]
git config --global core.editor nano
git config --global color.ui true
From within the repository's directory, run
git pull
to pull down the most recent version and attempt to merge them into your local repository.
It's a two-step process. First, you need to add and commit your changed files to your local repository. Second, you push your local repository up to be merged into the online one.
To add your modified files to a staging area (getting them ready to be committed), do something like
git add myupdatedfile.c
or more generally
git add *.py
or even just
git add .
Then, to commit these changes, type
git commit -m "Add snazzy feature to someneatfile.py, and modified documentation."
where the commit message inside the double quotes summarizes the key changes this commit makes.
Now, you can push your committed changes up to the online github repository for everyone else to use. Type
git push
If you look at the online view of the repository you should see your changes propagating through.
Running git status from the command line will tell you what files you've modified, and whether or not they are staged for the next commit.
Runnning git log will show you the history of this repository, documented at every commit that's been made.
