Workspace/Github desktop or Atom/Integration

Hi @jacob232 .I am having difficulty with the workspace,github desktop,atom editor synchronization.I have been working on my first project for a few days now but I am finding it difficult to get it on to github.I have don the following

  1. Opened a workspace and made some changes to the project.

  2. Downloaded github and github desktop.

  3. Opened a repo in github.

  4. Downloaded workspace on my computer.

downloaded atom and had the project files copied into it.

My questions are as follows

1.Where do I work on the project ?Is it on workspace or atom?

  1. When I make changes in my workspace in treehouse how does it get reflected on to the github desktop .Do it happen automatically or how do we do this. I am spending a lot of time trying to understand the github/atom and integration rather than spending time on the project itself.Any help would be highly appreciated.

I'm so GLAD you asked this question, I am having the same Issues!!! I am taking the time to study Github and Atom, have not been able to really work on my first project at all. I wish we were introduce to this much sooner.

You would need to make changes locally on your computer, so through Atom. I use GitKraken as my GUI but I assume GitHub Desktop is similar, so it should automatically detect that the files have changed. Then you need to commit them, write a comment about it and then push it all through GitHub Desktop.

I would spend some time researching GIT before you carry on
