Make a GitHub Repository

1. Log into GitHub and make a new repository. We’ll call it ‘funkypoop’ here.
2. Download Git for Windows (https://gitforwindows.org/)
3. Make a master Git folder if you haven’t already (one that holds all your Git projects)
4. Go into the master folder.
5. Type ‘git init’ to start git
6. Type ‘git clone https://github.com/peet1187/funkypoop.git’ (that URL will be different for each project. The GitHub website has a place somewhere where they give you that code for ‘Quick installation’. Choose the ‘HTTPS’ option.
   • BTW: when you type the thing above into your terminal, it’ll say ‘Warning: You appear to have cloned an empty repository’.
   • Alternatively you could have uploaded your initial files through the GitHub website and it probably wouldn’t give you this message.
7. Go into the project folder (‘cd funkypoop’) in terminal.
8. Type ‘git add .’ to add files to Git’s list of files it will track from now on (this is not commit or push).
9. Type ‘git status’ to see status (this is just for fun).
10. Type ‘git commit -m “first commit”‘ to commit the new files.
11. Type ‘git push’ to push the files to GitHub.
