How to Set up SSH Access to Github

==================================

1. Generate both public key and private key

-------------------------------------------

On your machine, change directory to ~/.ssh

$ ssh-keygen -t ed25519

You have got two files - 'id_ed25519' and 'id_ed25519.pub'. One is the public key, the other the private key. The public key file name has '.pub' at the end. The private key file has not.

2. Put public key on Github

---------------------------

Open github website. Log in. Click the Profile icon at the top right hand side corner > Settings > 'Access | SSH and GPG keys' > 'SSH keys | New SSH key'. Paste your public key there.

3. Copy your repository SSH address

-----------------------------------

Click profile icon > 'Your repositories'. Click one of the repositories > Code > SSH. Click the copy icon.

4. git clone

------------

Go back to your machine. You can git clone already.

$ git clone <Github SSH address> # (without <>)

5. git remote add origin

------------------------

Change directory to the branch. Append the SSH address to the following command, and run the command

$ git remote add origin <Github SSH address> # (without <>)

Change directory to .git/ under the branch directory.

Open ~/.git/config, you would see 

[remote "origin"]

    url = git@github.com:<githubUserName>/<branch>.git

6. Delete branch https address

------------------------------

If you used to use password/token access to Github, then there must be an http url in the config file. Remove it, otherwise Github will still ask for your password/token.

7. git pull or push

-------------------

You can now git pull and git push now.

$ git pull origin main

$ git push origin main

Initializing a Git repository
=============================

1. Open Terminal.

2. Navigate to the root directory of your project.

3. Initialize the local directory as a Git repository. By default, the initial branch is called main.

   If you’re using Git 2.28.0 or a later version, you can set the name of the default branch using -b. ::

       $ git init -b main

4. Add the files in your new local repository. This stages them for the first
commit. ::

       # Adds the files in the local repository and stages them for commit. To unstage a file, use 'git reset HEAD YOUR-FILE'.
       $ git add .


5. Commit the files that you've staged in your local repository. ::

       # Commits the tracked changes and prepares them to be pushed to a remote repository. To remove this commit and modify the file, use 'git reset --soft HEAD~1' and commit and add the file again.
       $ git commit -m "First commit"


Importing a Git repository with the command line
================================================

1. Create a new repository on GitHub.com. To avoid errors, do not initialize the new repository with README, license, or gitignore files. You can add these files after your project has been pushed to GitHub. For more information, see "Creating a new repository."

2. At the top of your repository on GitHub.com's Quick Setup page, click to copy the remote repository URL.

3. Open Terminal.

4. Change the current working directory to your local project.

5. Add the URL for the remote repository where your local repository will be pushed. ::

       # Sets the new remote
       $ git remote add origin <REMOTE_URL>
   
       # Verifies the new remote URL
       $ git remote -v

6. Push the changes in your local repository to GitHub.com. ::

       # Pushes the changes in your local repository up to the remote repository you specified as the origin
       $ git push origin main

Vim plugin manager - Vim Pathogen

 I'd highly recommend installing vim pathogen if you want to see the universe of vim plugins.  

It's a package manager of sorts. Once you install it, you can git clone packages to your ~/.vim/bundle directory and they're auto-installed. No more plugin installation, maintenance, or uninstall headaches! 

 You can run the following script from the GitHub page to install pathogen:  

mkdir -p ~/.vim/autoload ~/.vim/bundle; \ 

curl -so ~/.vim/autoload/pathogen.vim \
