[Guide]Utilizing the Github Application

[ImogenOC]

As requested by user @Barandeniz,
here is a (slightly deprecated) guide to using Github for Windows.

Detailed guide for use on Linux is down below.

Step 1: Download it

Windows / Mac

If you're a cool ****ing Linux user, or dualboot / use a terminal style win/linux bastard OS (ayoo), there's a different guide at the bottom here.


Step 2: Install it



Step 3: Grab a URL
For the sake of speed, pull this epeenis over your github.

It's a link to the MrTheSoulz Compendium.


Step 4: Choose a Directory





Step 5: Make sure your Dir is correct
Or I will cut you if you say 'Immie it isnt working'





Step 6: Done

Congratulations, you installed software!



Any profile devs that have github or an SVN can utilize this. Also works with gitlab!

Linux

Still here? Good! Let's do it for Linux. Y'all don't need a GUI to get things running, it's basic git.

Distros

Arch Linux

$ pacman -S git

Debian

$ apt-get install git

Fedora

$ yum install git

FreeBSD

$ cd /usr/ports/devel/git
$ make install

You had to be the complicated one, BSD

Gentoo

$ emerge --ask --verbose dev-vcs/git

OpenBSD

$ pkg_add git

openSUSE

$ zypper install git

Solaris 11

$ pkg install developer/versioning/git

Uuuuuuubuntu

$ apt-get install git

Forking

Pretty easy, works almost the same as above.

Identify yourself first:

$ git config --global user.name "YOUR NAME"
$git config --global user.email "YOUR EMAIL ADDRESS"

Then fork

$ git clone https://github.com/YOUR-USERNAME/Repo-Here
