Gitting-Started

Getting started with Git

I recommend WSL if using Windows. If using mac you already have terminal :-)

There are GUIs for Git, but I have no experience with them.

---

Installing WSL: HERE

I recommend Debian OR Alpine

Alpine Linux: HERE

Debian Linux: HERE

---

Create SSH Key

ssh-keygen

---

Get SSH public key

cat ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub

---

Add key to gitea

1. User profile in upper right hand corner

2. Settings

3. SSH/GPG Keys

4. Manage SSH Keys -> Add Key (to the right)

5. Paste whole key in Content, this should add the SSH Key Name in the name field

---

Clone git repo

1. Find repo you want

2. Switch to SSH option in cloning

3. git clone URL_HERE

---

Now you can do the git stuff

1. I always do a git pull to make sure the repo is up to date just in-case anyone has made changes

2. git add NEW_FILE or git add . if you'd like to add all files with changes

3. git commit -m 'ADD INFO HERE OF WHAT WAS CHANGED/ADDED' | If you'd like to push some changes, but not run the pipeline you can just add [skip ci] anywhere in the commit message

4. git push

Your updates will now be pushed, if there's a pipline it might take a while 10/15mins for the updates to be shown
