GitHub Procedure

GitHub is an online, open source collaboration platform. It essentially stores files and folders in a cloud-based server system, sort of like Dropbox. Unlike Dropbox, you must manually sync any changes you make to the file and folders that are shared among your collaborators.

Here is what you should do when you want to make a change to the your personal GitHub files for this class:

  1. Make sure your branch is set to gh-pages
  2. Press Sync
  3. Make changes to your files
  4. Check to make sure the changes in red and green are what you did.
  5. Fill out the Commit title and description
  6. Press Commit
  7. Press Sync
