Source control doesn't give me any commit or pull, push options

I downloaded the code from teachers notes and opened it in xCode. Then when i click on Source Control no options are available? Is this because I didn't create a git repository on myMac? I went on gitHub and created a repository but because it was a pre-saved file name how do I enable git? Any help would be greatly appreciated :)

This would be because the download doesn't come with a git repository. Even if you created one on GitHub, that won't change anything on your local machine, because there needs to be a copy of the repository on your local machine for the Source Control menu to work. If you did create one on GitHub, you can download it and set up Xcode to work with it by copying the link GitHub gives you to clone the repository, then go to Source Control > Check Out... and paste that URL into the field under "Or enter a repository location:" and click Next. If you didn't, you can create one by clicking on Source Control > Create Working Copy...

Hi thank you for the quick response, I went to the Check out and added the link of the repository however it gives me an error saying 'Make sure the file is in a valid working copy and try again.' and I am not to sure what this means.

I had the same problem Landon! :( So, what I finally deducted was that when I saved the Soccer Coordinator playground, I was not saving it in the correct folder: the downloaded Soccer Coordinator project file. Just look closely at which folder you're actually saving your project in and hopefully this solves the problem! :)
