understaning git

Hi Guys, So I pushed a project I am working to in zurb foundation 5 to a private repo, and im looking at the commits and i see a ton of commits by other users on what looks to be other files. So, Im just trying to figure out how it all works and why im seeing all these commits to me private project.

sounds weird .. have a screenshot ? .. generally git is pretty self explanatory if your happy in the command line.

your only really gonna use push/pull/commit to start messing around - and it should be linked to your repo only

heh, i don't think you can ..

I would try making a new repo called something else - and starting again.

I use that for reference .. If you make an empty repository by just giving it a name (create new repo - then - just the repo name and create) - it will give you the command line commands to link to it ..

I found this quite helpful starting out

Are you seeing commits from the actual Zurb project, maybe? How did you get the Zurb code? Was it a download from the website or clone from Github?

it looks like im see some zurb code type stuff. Im not sure how it appeared but I just installed foundation normally from their website, and to install zurb you git is required so maybe it came from there. Here is some of the commits i see on my thing:
