A while back I posted a mass of code and it was suggested that I post it on GitHub. After researching what a github was, I created the following cheat sheet for myself. Maybe it will help you.

Do one-time when git is installed for the first time
----------------------------------------------------
$ git config --global user.name "Your Name Comes Here"
$ git config --global user.email you@yourdomain.example.com


Create a new local and remote repository
----------------------------------------
Execute from the directory containing your source files

$ git init                    creates a subdirectory and builds reposi
+tory in it
$ git add .                    add all files to repository
$ git status                    verify staged files
$ git commit                    commit staged files
$ git remote add origin https://github.com/jmlynesjr/remote-repository
+-name    create remote repository
$ git push -u origin master            upload to remote repository

Update an existing repository
-----------------------------
Execute from directory containing your source files

$ git add file1                           add new or modified files

$ git status                    verify files were added

$ git commit                    commit to local repository

$ git push origin master            push to remote repository
username
password

Additional Commands
-------------------

$ git ls-files                                  list all files in the 
+repository

$ git rm filename                               remove a file from the
+ repository

There's never enough time to do it right, but always enough time to do it over...

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post, it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":


  • Posts are HTML formatted. Put <p> </p> tags around your paragraphs. Put <code> </code> tags around your code and data!
  • Titles consisting of a single word are discouraged, and in most cases are disallowed outright.
  • Read Where should I post X? if you're not absolutely sure you're posting in the right place.
  • Please read these before you post! —
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags:
    a, abbr, b, big, blockquote, br, caption, center, col, colgroup, dd, del, details, div, dl, dt, em, font, h1, h2, h3, h4, h5, h6, hr, i, ins, li, ol, p, pre, readmore, small, span, spoiler, strike, strong, sub, summary, sup, table, tbody, td, tfoot, th, thead, tr, tt, u, ul, wbr
  • You may need to use entities for some characters, as follows. (Exception: Within code tags, you can put the characters literally.)
            For:     Use:
    & &amp;
    < &lt;
    > &gt;
    [ &#91;
    ] &#93;
