================================ How to Access - Using GitHub App

These instructions are for the MacOSX client, but they will most likely translate relatively easy to windows.

1. Download github app. https://mac.github.com https://windows.github.com

2. Clone repository

   • Select your user name in the left column window
   • Select repo from list of your repositories
   • Select 'Clone'/'Clone to Computer'

3. Syncing

   • With the github app the 'Sync' button does both pushing and pulling simultaneously.
   • Always pull before making changes and pushing

4. Commits

   • Select files that you wish to commit (by default they are all selected)
   • Click 'Commit' to stage changes for pushing.
   • Commits are not synced with repo until you press 'Sync'

5. Creating a Branch

   • By default everything is on the master branch
   • If you are going to make some changes that may take some time or implimenting a specific feature, then create a new branch.
   • Do this by selecting 'Branches' from the left column.
   • Then select the '+' next to the branch you wish to break from
   • Creating a branch copies all the existing commits in that branch into the new one. Commits to each branch will remain seperate until they are merged again.

================================== How to Access - Using Command Line

The tutorials on GitHub do a much better job of explaining things then I do. Here are the links:

Mac: https://help.github.com/articles/set-up-git#platform-mac

Windows: https://help.github.com/articles/set-up-git#platform-windows

Linux: https://help.github.com/articles/set-up-git#platform-linux

You may need to become familiar with using github command line to manage things like merges and such.
