Git-Intro

A git intro lesson

##Assignment

Start with this interactive git tutorial. Come back to this page after you've finished.

Follow along here, courtesy of Learn, but note these important differences:

• Instead of going to the first-lab-000 repo, go to the url for this git intro assignment: https://github.com/Duke-HC-Mobile-Apps-Web/Git-Intro
• When cloning the repository, ignore the instruction telling you to use the SSH url. Please use the HTTPS one that you'll see in your forked repository
  • To optionally learn more about setting your machine up to use SSH, check out https://help.github.com/articles/generating-ssh-keys/
• The video walks through adding several files to the repo, we'd like you to only add one .txt file. If you've added others, look at the git rm command
  • It should be titled with your name firstName_lastName.txt and should include:
    • Your year and major
    • Your favorite programming language/s
• Make sure you follow the instructions for sending a pull request back to this repo, that's the most important part!
