Setup Git

Setting up git to work with github is relatively easy. If you are using a personal machine, simply follow the instructions here. Once you are all set, continue to forking the course repository.

Ashe Lab Setup

You will mostly be following along with the setup instructions except you will be running most of the commands on stout instead of on the lab computer you are working on. Since all students in the lab are just logged in as "Public User", there is no way to configure your personal git settings.

Setup SSH Keys

  • Open a terminal
  • login to stout ssh username@stout
    • on campus you don't need the .hampshire.edu
  • Follow steps 1-3 in Setting up SSH Keys
  • For step 4, run this command:
    • ssh username@stout cat ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub | pbpaste
    • this will copy the contents of the file to your clipboard
  • Paste this into github's add key
  • Finish following the "Set Up Git" instructions
