Basics of Github

Cloning (aka getting the program from GitHub on your computer):

• Download Git Bash (https://git-scm.com/downloads)
• Create a folder for the project to go into
• Right click on that folder and select "Git Bash Here"
• git config --global user.name "YOUR_USER_NAME_HERE"
• git config --global user.email "YOUR_EMAIL_HERE"
• git init
• git clone "https://github.com/LdhssRobotics/frc-steamworks-robot-2017.git"
• It should prompt you for username and password
• And you're done!

First time committing your changes (uploading your work)

• Open Git Bash in the folder frc-steamworks-robot-2017
• git checkout -b "A_NAME_FOR_YOUR_BRANCH_HERE"
• git push origin THE_NAME_OF_YOUR_BRANCH
• git add .
• git commit -m "YOUR_COMMIT_MESSAGE_HERE"
• git push
• Go to github.com and go to the frc-steamworks-robot-2017 project
• Create a pull request
• Wait for admins to approve your code.

Committing any other time

• Open Git Bash in the folder frc-steamworks-robot-2017
• git branch (this will show you what branch you're on; make sure it's the branch you want to be on)
• If you're on the wrong branch, enter: git checkout yourBranchName
• git add .
• git commit -m "Commit message here"
• git push origin yourBranchName

Always check the error messages! They're usually pretty useful and offer ways to fix the error.
