Exercise 1: Pushing to github
Use the folder/code from the previous lab. Run “git init” to make it into a repository. Add your files and commit them.
Create an account on github.com Push your work there.
Create a basic readme file called “Readme.txt”, make sure it is spelled exactly like this (including capitals). Add this as a second commit and push it to github also. AFTER COMMITING, make another change to the readme, but do not commit it.
Exercise 2: Push to someone else's repo
Find a partner. Clone their github repository from ex 1. Add your name to a new line in their readme. Push it back to their repository (you may need them to grant you access in the github web interface).
Exercise 3: Merge everything
Once someone has modified your online repository, pull the changes. Read the messages and figure out how to do this. Once you have your changes and theirs merged, push it back to the repository. Get your partner to run git pull and they should have everything on their machine.
