https://www.theodinproject.com/lessons/foundations-git-basics this is the lesson that i am following. I completed the Create the Repository section successfully. I also completed the Use the Git Workflow section successfully. It’s the Modify a File or two where I am facing all the difficulties.
Can someone please show me the way how to do it ?
I already had git installed in my WSL. Today l downloaded and installed git in my windows 10 as well. I also have a GitHub account.
So now you need to connect Git (the software on your computer) to GitHub (the internet site that will host the central repository). That is done using the command
And giving it your github credential as mentionned in the Setting Up Git lesson that is link in the lesson you are following.
GitHub desktop takes the learning out of git. You press buttons. It does its thing.
I do have GitHub desktop, but haven’t used it yet.
Muuuuch easier than learning git.
It helps you learn what you WANT to do. Later you can learn HOW to do it in command line if you want to.
You can get by just fine using gui tools for most stuff, only rarely needing raw git commands (when you would probably be checking the docs anyway)
I don’t understand how people check diffs without a GUI/IDE tbh.
