Bringing Code to Your Machine

Setting up your repository for work

1.Install and configure git on your local machine.

2.Create a fork of wevote/WebApp.git

3.Clone your fork

git clone https://github.com/username/WebApp.git

4.In your local repository, set up a remote for upstream:
$ git remote add upstream git@github.com:wevote/WebApp.git

5.Create ssh keys: ssh-keygen -t rsa -C "youremail@somedomain.com"

6.ssh-add ~/.ssh/id_rsa OR ssh-add ~/.ssh/github_rsa

7.pbcopy < ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub OR pbcopy < ~/.ssh/github_rsa.pub

8.Go paste your keys into Github, under SSH Keys for your account.

9.Set up a git client where origin is a fork of the repository (e.g. pertrai1/WebApp), and upstream is the real deal (e.g. wevote/WebApp)

git clone git@github.com:pertrai1/wevote.git
