Welcome the to Git challenge!
Git is a version control system. We use it to share files and track how they change. It's especially useful for code, but it works for other files too.
For this challenge, you need to get a copy of this repository onto your own computer, add your names to the README file, and push your changes back.
First, you'll need to install Git. For Windows or Mac, go to
https://git-scm.com/downloads for a download. For Linux, you can install it with
your package manager (e.g. apt or dnf). If you're borrowing a team laptop,
it probably already has git installed.
You'll also need a free Github account. Sign up at https://github.com/, and tell us your username so we can give you access to this repository.
To get a copy of this repository, run:
git clone https://github.com/Maritime-Robotics-Student-Society/git-challenge.git
This will create a new folder called git-challenge. Open it up, and open
README.md in a text editor. If you don't already have a decent text editor handy,
try Atom. There's a lot of different text editors, and
programmers get very excited about them.
Add your team at the end of the file.
Now it's time to send your change to Github. Get a prompt inside the
git-challenge directory.
# Tell git which file we've changed
git add README.md
# Record the changes. This will ask for a 'commit message' describing the change.
git commit
# Send the changes to Github. You'll need your Github username and password.
git push
