setup git repository for storing 'c' source code.
--------------------------------------------------

Main repository is stored on GitHub server: github.com

github login: j-angus 

setup git:
------------
Global setup:

  git config --global user.name "Jason Angus"
  git config --global user.email jaduffa@gmail.com
  git config --global color.ui true

Next steps:

mkdir ~/swdev
cd ~/swdev

Best to login to github first and check out help section there for clear instructions.

Follow setting up ssh key instructions first: http://help.github.com/linux-set-up-git/

change to ~/swdev on local computer.

git clone git@github.com:j-angus/cpama

creates directory: cpama

change to cpama

This is the directory for all cpama development.

Do some work.

add files to be tracked:

$ git add <path to files>

# Let's only store *.c source files and other informational text files. No compiled or object files for now.

save and commit changes to local git repository.

$ git commit

will commit all files added in the last step.

Or we can add and commit previously added files with:
$ git commit -am "commit comment"

push and merge changes to remote, github, repository.


to update on github:

$ git push -u origin master


When we want to get the latest revisions from github:
------------------------------------------------------

check to see if we are up to date or not:

$ git remote show origin

get changes from remote but don't merge:
$ git fetch
look at the differences after a fetch:
$ git diff
$ git show

if we're happy with changes, we can merge this way:
$ git merge origin/master

we can fetch and merge in one step with:
$ git pull origin

or even:
$ git pull

Recovering a deleted file (before committing):
-----------------------------------------------
git checkout HEAD  -- <filename>


Some useful vim settings:
--------------------------

/* vim: tabstop=8:softtabstop=8:shiftwidth=8:noexpandtab:cindent:nu:sm:cursorline */ 
set 
cindent
nu
sm
tabstop=8
softtabstop=8
shiftwidth=8
noexpandtab
cursorline
