connecting and updating your files with Git in linux (ubuntu)

1. make sure you have git on your Linux machine
   -you can do this by opening Terminal " ctl+alt+t " , then typing " sudo apt-get install git " , (you'll need internet connection)
2. Navigate to the folder/area you'd like to use for your project, then enter the following line to update that file from the master in your repository " git clone https://github.com/harkaranbrar/astroids.git "
   Note: don't use the quotations.

OTHER COMMENDS
" git " will display a list of commands
" status " shows you the difference between your file and that of the master
" add filename " adds the file to the project ... using " -A " adds all files
" commit " adds it to repository ... using " -m " will allow you to add a comment after
EXAMPLE: git commit -m "added stars.h"
" push " pushes any changes to the repository.
" pull " pulls any changes down from the repository
" branch branchname " creates a branch that you can work under (for safety reasons)

press " esc " then " :wq " to get out of commit message/comment or hit " i " (for input) then add your comment.

git commit: commit your changes on your own branch, totally unrelated to what's going on in remote repositories.

git fetch origin: get the contents of the remote repository (origin), but keep them under origin/branch branches. Your own code is unaffected at this point.

git merge origin/master: merge origin/master which is the master branch of the remote repository origin (which you fetched just now) with your current branch.

git push origin: push back the commit and the merge to the remote repository
