Github workflow

I don’t use git or github enough to remember the commands and most articles skim over the actual workflow I tend to need. So here’s my cheatsheet supporting this exact flow:

1. Clone a repo from github onto local
   • git clone {https://github.com/author/proj}
2. Make and commit edits on local
   • git commit -m “my commit message!”
3. Add new personal repo on github
   • Go to github click new repo, add project name, copy link {https://github.com/me/proj.git}
4. Add remote github repo to local repo
   • git remote add {proj} {http://github.com/me/proj.git}
   • check the linked remote repos: git remote -v
   • rename remotes: git remote rename origin {somthingElse}
5. push to remote github. (-u flag sets default remote)
   • git push -u {proj} main
   • subsequent pushes are easier now default: git push
