Jan25th - GilesVolmir/Skylar-Scott--308L-Junior-Lab GitHub Wiki

I signed up for a github account, then created a repository and this wiki. I will be using this wiki as my lab notebook for the semester. (until and unless something better presents itself)

Next I went through the first part of the github tutorial, which started me off downloading github. I installed according the the screenshots provided.

I created an ssh passphrase as instructed and linked it to my gmail email. Then I forgot my passphrase. I made a new passphrase and checked it. I gave git my name and email to link to my account. I gave git my API token from my github account. With this I finish the first part of the github tutorial.

Part 2 of the github tutorial created the local files for a Hello-World repository, added a README, then realized I have to have a repository named Hello-World on github for this to work right. After having trouble with spaces and hyphens being changed in github I ended up having to remove the remote origin and re-add it with a new repository. This concludes part 2!

Part 3 of tutorial Found octocat's Spoon-Knife repo and forked it. Cloned the repo to my computer with git. Found out user names are case sensitive. (I am GilesVolmir not gilesvolmir) Also set up the remote for my system. learned to commit changed to a fork and to pull in changes from upstream in the forks (add changes from the project i was adding to originally)
