00:00:00,340 --> 00:00:05,003
GitHub has surged in popularity since its
creation because it's one of the best ways

2
00:00:05,003 --> 00:00:05,867
to share code.

3
00:00:05,867 --> 00:00:09,968
Like Git, it doesn't have the most
user friendly interface out there.

4
00:00:09,968 --> 00:00:14,527
But once you know what you're doing, there
are powerful features available to you, or

5
00:00:14,527 --> 00:00:16,451
anyone you share your project with.

6
00:00:16,451 --> 00:00:21,743
In the previous video, we pushed our code
from our local repo up to our GitHub repo.

7
00:00:21,743 --> 00:00:25,945
Let's take a look at our project in a new
way, through the GitHub user interface.

8
00:00:25,945 --> 00:00:29,865
You can think of this as a web version
of the Git command line interface.

9
00:00:29,865 --> 00:00:33,602
There are ways to get all the same
information that you would from the git

10
00:00:33,602 --> 00:00:35,978
log command,
the git diff command and more.

11
00:00:35,978 --> 00:00:41,932
All our files are listed on this page,
bronze.html, gold.html, and so on.

12
00:00:41,932 --> 00:00:45,911
We can click on any of those files to
view the source code they contain.

13
00:00:45,911 --> 00:00:48,933
On each page the repository name, medals,

14
00:00:48,933 --> 00:00:53,024
is a link that will take us back
to the main repository page.

15
00:00:53,024 --> 00:00:58,006
The main page has a link to the commit
history which was pushed up from your

16
00:00:58,006 --> 00:00:58,748
git repo.

17
00:00:58,748 --> 00:01:03,017
All the commits you made will be shown
here along with their commit messages.

18
00:01:03,017 --> 00:01:06,868
You can click on the partial SHA
checksum shown next to each commit.

19
00:01:06,868 --> 00:01:10,868
That will take you to a page showing
the changes made in that commit.

20
00:01:10,868 --> 00:01:15,763
Again we can go back to the main
repository page by clicking the link with

21
00:01:15,763 --> 00:01:16,834
the repo name.

22
00:01:16,834 --> 00:01:21,548
This is a public repository so
anyone who has the link can see this page.

23
00:01:21,548 --> 00:01:25,449
If we go to the browser's address bar and
copy the URL of this page,

24
00:01:25,449 --> 00:01:29,360
then we can share it through Twitter or
email or any other channel.

25
00:01:29,360 --> 00:01:32,646
When someone clicks that link,
they'll be able to visit this page and

26
00:01:32,646 --> 00:01:34,530
view everything you see here.

27
00:01:34,530 --> 00:01:38,381
The only thing they won't be able to
do is make changes via their browser.

28
00:01:38,381 --> 00:01:41,826
They can however use git to clone
their own copy of your code

29
00:01:41,826 --> 00:01:45,922
onto their own computers and
they can then make changes to that copy.

30
00:01:45,922 --> 00:01:48,538
Because this is set up
as a public repository,

31
00:01:48,538 --> 00:01:52,841
anyone with the URL can clone it,
even if they don't have a GitHub account.

32
00:01:52,841 --> 00:01:57,298
On your repo's main page there should
be a Clone or download button.

33
00:01:57,298 --> 00:01:59,295
It might not look exactly like this, but

34
00:01:59,295 --> 00:02:01,598
it should be available
somewhere on the page.

35
00:02:01,598 --> 00:02:04,606
That will reveal the git URL for the repo.

36
00:02:04,606 --> 00:02:07,632
The URL should start with https.

37
00:02:07,632 --> 00:02:12,524
If that's the case, the link in the upper
right of the window will say use https.

38
00:02:12,524 --> 00:02:16,956
Click that to change the URL
back to an https URL.

39
00:02:16,956 --> 00:02:20,520
Anyone can copy this URL and
use it to clone the repo.

40
00:02:20,520 --> 00:02:23,424
Let's click this button to copy it now.

41
00:02:23,424 --> 00:02:26,931
I've set up a new,
empty workspace with no repos in it so

42
00:02:26,931 --> 00:02:29,482
we can try cloning from the GitHub repo.

43
00:02:29,482 --> 00:02:35,574
All I have to do is activate the console
and type git clone followed by a space,

44
00:02:35,574 --> 00:02:39,809
and then paste the Git URL
that we copied from GitHub.

45
00:02:39,809 --> 00:02:41,220
If I run the command,

46
00:02:41,220 --> 00:02:45,464
it will clone the GitHub repo into
a new local repo named medals.

47
00:02:46,844 --> 00:02:51,481
I can change into the new
medals directory, cd medals.

48
00:02:51,481 --> 00:02:55,233
If I run ls, we'll see all of our files.

49
00:02:55,233 --> 00:03:00,550
And if I run git status that will show
our working directory is clean and

50
00:03:00,550 --> 00:03:02,852
ready to accept new commits.

51
00:03:02,852 --> 00:03:07,220
And if we run git remote,
we'll see a repo named origin,

52
00:03:07,220 --> 00:03:10,326
which is the Git Hub repo we cloned from.

53
00:03:10,326 --> 00:03:13,985
Note that others will not be able to
push directly to your Git Hub repo,

54
00:03:13,985 --> 00:03:15,980
you can allow that if you want though.

55
00:03:15,980 --> 00:03:18,986
See the teacher's notes for more info.

56
00:03:18,986 --> 00:03:22,759
GitHub is the world's most popular
way to share code with others.

57
00:03:22,759 --> 00:03:25,751
And now, you can push your code there.

58
00:03:25,751 --> 00:03:29,763
Before we wrap up this course in the next
video, you should take a few minutes to go

59
00:03:29,763 --> 00:03:33,790
through your existing projects and see if
there are any you want to share on GitHub
