Learn how to use Git & Github to share code and collaborate with other developers. This video covers: creating github repos, pushing & pulling, cloning, forking, making pull requests, and open-source contribution workflows.
**MINOR EDIT**: I use "git push -u" to push to Github in this video, but I forgot to mention the "-u" flag is only necessary the very first time you push (even then, it's not technically necessary, it just makes your life a little easier)

Hey everybody, The "-u" when entering the command "git push -u origin master" sets origin as the remote (upstream) target so any pushes after that can be called with just "git push" instead of typing it all out.

I caught this mistake right after I published the video, and unfortunately the only way I can let students know is via a note in the description which no one reads! I wish there was an easy option to edit or annotate the video. Hopefully pinning this comment will make it easier for students to see!

What does the -v mean in 'git remote -v'?

@@RampageG4mer It means verbose. It will show the url of the remote repo. Here's the link to the docs: www.git-scm.com/docs

Colt, I just want you to know that you're an amazing teacher! I've watched literally all your videos and have paid for some of your udemy courses, and I don't know what it is about the way you teach but it's just so damn clear when you teach something. Hats off to you man! Thank you very much for the amazing free content!!

I've procrastinated watching this video for so long, until I actually needed to use it and figured it out myself with a bit of help from a classmate. I hate myself sometimes

[@chrismgentry]

I wish I would have seen this before I talked about it in class early last week! This fantastic video would have saved me a 45min lecture and live demo. I added a link to my exercise notes so students would be able to reference this content. Thanks for all your hard work!

[@BbB-vr9uh]

Awesome tutorial! I appreciate the demo just using text files, because a lot of github tutorial material conflates git with also learning about programming topics. This lets the github tutorial be the true focus and helped me follow it better.

Colt, loved the video. Everything I wanted to know about Git in 20 mins. And all the notes for Free.. couldn't have asked for a better tutorial.. Thank you !

[@AminKhan]

Hey, Colt! I love your tutorials and you are an amazing teacher! I have bought a course of yours from Udemy and followed your videos on KZbin but I'd be a lot happier if you taught your Udemy courses all by yourself and not including another teacher because the way you teach is much and way better than other teachers.

[@mrknarf4438]

[@sanchito59]

Hey, Colt, love your stuff! You've inspired so much in my education and career path. I'm not sure if commenting is the proper method, but I know you were looking for feedback on video ideas. One thing that perplexes me is regular expressions and when and why we'd want to use them. I'm not sure if they're commonly used by developers and I'm not fully understanding the power that they may contain. Love your channel, thanks!

[@tartarus1322]

I would say that Regular Expressions are more used to verify text or parse it. This means that if you want to split text into multiple parts so that it can be more appropriately analyzed, or if you want to make sure it matches a format. Here are some examples of when you'd use them: Let's say you want to verify an email address given to you is valid. Let's say you define a valid email address as some alphanumerical text, followed by an "@" symbol, some more alphanumerical text -- the domain, and followed by .com, so [e-mail]; note that the text can be of any length. So, we can form a regular expression to check if this matches. The expression would look like this: (JavaScript) (\w|\d)+@(\w|\d)+\.com or alternatively [a-zA-Z0-9]+@[a-zA-Z0-9]+\.com This basically ensures that there are 1 or more of alphanumerical characters, followed by an @ sign, followed by 1 or more of alphanumerical characters followed by a .com. Another example is if you're taking in input for a problem, for example, that gives you numbers that are spaced out, e.g. "1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10" and you want to loop through them and concatenate all of them: (JavaScript) You might want to go about it by turning it into an array: function concatenate(str) { let result = ''; let array = str.split(/ /); for (let e of array) result += e; return result; } You can also use it to replace things: just take the string and use RegExp like: str.replace(/ /g, '')
