Install git for windows and launch Git bash. It treats Windows file system as Linux, hence path separator “” turns into “/”.

Go to your Git repository, click on “Clone or Download” and copy the Clone URL.

GitCloneUrl

Go to your source directory in Git bash prompt

$ cd /c/Dev/source/mcu-india
achindra@TURINGMACHINE MINGW64 /c/Dev/Source/mcu-india

$ git clone https://github.com/mcu-india/CPL.git
Cloning into 'CPL'...

Unpacking objects: 100% (10/10), done.

Then create a folder for yourself as “Basics/achindra_mca_2005” in CPL for basic of C.

In this directory create a ReadMe file and put in your name, email and your batch. I used nano editor, you can use something else.

/c/Dev/Source/mcu-india/CPL/Basics/achindra_mca_2005
$ nano README.md

To be able to save this file in repository, you should add it to tracking

/c/Dev/Source/mcu-india/CPL/Basics/achindra_mca_2005 (master)
$ git add README.md
warning: LF will be replaced by CRLF in Basics/achindra_mca_2005/README.md.
The file will have its original line endings in your working directory.

Create directory for Assignment 1 and in that directory, write your first program, the customary Hello World!

Add it too to tracking.

$ git add Hello.c

git status command will tell you what files are being tracked and which one’s are excluded. You don’t need to check-in your exe and obj files.

$ git status
On branch master
Your branch is up to date with 'origin/master'.

Changes to be committed:
  (use "git reset HEAD <file>..." to unstage)

        new file:   Hello.c
        new file:   ../README.md

Untracked files:
  (use "git add <file>..." to include in what will be committed)

        Hello.exe
        Hello.obj

 

Until you run “git commit”, changes are not actually recorded. Git commit will ask you to add a message that explains what changes are being made. This is recorded as part of history.

$ git commit
