Unit1-02: Cloning a Repo

Lesson

• go over Git and GitHub

  • watch Git & GitHub Beginner Tutorial - Introduction

  • remember Git != GitHub

• go over Linux:

  • read "What is Linux?"

  • read "Basic Linux Commands for Beginners"

  • ls -> list all files and folders in the current directory

  • cd <name of directory>  ->  change to <name> directory

  • cd ..  ->  change to the previous directory

1. Create a GitHub Repo & Add a Linter

• watch Create a GitHub Repo for Python

• make sure to put the repo in your ICS3U Programming organization!

• use this naming convention (Unit# Language):

  • Unit1-02 Python 

  • Note: yes there are spaces here. Github will replace the spaces with dashes.

• add in a GitHub Action -> Mr Coxall Super Linter

  • see "References - Linters for JS & Python"

3. Clone the GitHub Repo into Your Codespaces Folder 

• go to Codespaces

  • ENSURE you are in the correct directory!!

  • Unit1/Unit1-02

  • open a terminal from the above folder & type the following:

  • git clone git@github.com:<Organization name/repo>.git

  • Note: paste the URL that you copied in the previous step after the word "clone"

  • Note that "Organization name/repo" is replaced with your login and angle brackets are not included!
    
    

  • For example, mine looks like this:

  • git clone git@github.com:ICS3U-Programming-Sophie-Student/Unit1-02-Python.git

4. Create the File for this Day

• inside Codespaces, go to the folder for this day (Unit1/Unit1-02-Python):

  • create the "Hello, World! Updated" program in Python3

    • Save the file as “hello_world_updated.py”

    • say hello to someone you know

    • write 1 additional statement to them

5. Commit your Changes Back to GitHub

• inside Codespaces, go to the folder for this day (Unit1/Unit1-02):

  • open a terminal from this folder and type the following:

  • git add -A

  • git commit -m "commit message"

    • remember to replace "commit message" with a statement about what you changed in your code

  • git push origin main

  • you will be asked to add in your GitHub login and password to ensure it is you changing the repo

Extra

• watch the videos below

  • recreate the "Hello, World! Updated" program in C++

  • Note: You will have to go through the above steps again but for C++
