Repo for the seminar I conducted to teach git and GitHub.

For windows download from here.

For MacOs use this link.

For Ubuntu:

sudo apt-get install git

Configure your name and email address

git config --global user.name "Name"

git config --global user.email "[email protected]"

To generate ssh for authentication:

#Create an ssh key
ssh-keygen -t rsa -b 4096 -C "[email protected]"
#change the key name if you want to
# Add a paraphrase if you want to

Execute the command below then copy the public ssh key and paste it into your GitHub account under Settings>SSH and GPG keys.

cat ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub

In your local machine, check if the ssh-agent is running by executing:

eval "$(ssh-agent -s)"

Add ssh key to local ssh agent:

ssh-add ~/.ssh/id_rsa

Done.
