- check your config settings. Do you see anything interesting? What text editor are we using in this workshop?
- If you haven't yet, create a github user account. Make sure the e-mail address matches whatever you set in your config settings.
- check your configuration settings with
git config --list - navigate into a directory where you want to store repositories that makes sense to you. (e.g. I like to store all git repos in a folder called ~/repos/)
- clone our example repository for this lesson at: https://github.com/munkm/aspp-apac-paper.git
- Explore the log of the repository
- create a new file called introduction.md and edit it to include a
one-sentence introduction for a paper on your research and how it relates to
scientific python. - check the status of this file
- add the file to the staging area
- check the status of the file
- commit the file
- add your name to authors.md, then commit the file. We're working on this paper together after all!
- check the log of the repository again. Does it look different? How?
