UCContributeToNordquipSousmsUsingGitShell

developer reads and writes nordquip/sousms (the main git repository)

start git shell
cd to directory in which you would like to store your local copy of the repository
git clone [email protected]:nordquip/sousms.git # create new local repo
System responds with clone statistics
cd sousms # cd to the new local repository
Here are some testing commands:
git pull # pull any new changes
System will probably report 'Already up to date'
git push # push any new changes (none) up to nordquip/sousms on github.com
create a new file
git add --dry-run .
Add any new files in this directory and any subdirs to the index. Shows what would be added, but does not do the add.
The index is the list of files in your local directory that are (or will be) also present in the github.com repository.
git pull # pull any new changes
System reports any changes pulled into local repo
git commit -a -m 'message describing your file addition'
System reports your file added to the index
git push
System reports changes made to the nordquip/sousms repo

Starting after step 6 above:
7. Edit or delete or rename an existing file
8. git pull
9. git commit -a -m 'description of changes'
10. git push
