CS50W - Lecture 1 - Git

[@hust681]

the content, the flow, the voice, the charisma .. everything is perfect! we are living in a time of getting the best education. thanks Brian, Thanks Harvard!

[@Mai_Tai_Meyers]

totally agree!

[@ujjawalchatterjee]

I have tried understanding GIT and Github from so many video lectures in the past but this is the first time that I feel so confident.

[@YasuOsatoku]

Brian's Git video is by far the best I've ever seen on KZbin.

[@syeda.k.2934]

lets take a moment to appreciate that these videos are not monetized .

Amazing course. It's awesome that Brian, being so young, keeps up with the quality level of David's lectures. Thanks Brian, thanks CS50!

[@sagasam1]

Meeeeeen!! You are a born teacher! In all my life, I have not seen a facilitator of your type! fast-paced with concepts well-introduced before providing demos. I bet I'll watch the whole series 10 times over. Thank you very much.

If your terminal commands are not working then maybe that is because you need to install GIT to your machine first. It is briefly mentioned but not demonstrated so pretty easy to miss. Furthermore, some of the command line commands are mac only so you may need to google for your OS' equivalent of them - for example 'ls' doesn't work in command prompt (but does in powershell) and you should use 'dir' instead. ' Touch' is also not available in Windows command prompt, but there are alternatives you will need to google for (or simply create the files directly in your IDE). Very weird they have left this information out in what is otherwise a very good series - it may not be obvious to people who've never used GIT or the terminal before; aka the majority of the viewers here I imagine. To be quite honest - if you're relatively new to all of this and just want a good introduction to web programming and are learning this on your own -> please just skip this GIT lecture. Sure, people will argue that this is mandatory material for developers, but I feel most people / the target audience won't be needing this skill just yet if learning solo. Feel free to revisit this lecture later and proceed to lecture 2. If you do intend to install GIT and follow along then it's very likely you'll have to google around trying to get it to work because Github Desktop might not install correctly (that is; set the PATH variables properly) and you'll probably want to look for 'standalone GIT' and install that instead.

[@emanuelesimeone1810]

I really have to thank you since I was struggling with the command prompt and every single command he typed, didn't work on my machine

[@Adib759]

7:33

[@zerodivided3676]

@@Adib759 You are absolutely correct, I missed that. I have edited my comment slightly - I still think for most people the mention is too fast because GIT may not install correctly for some people and can be quite a hassle. The remarks in regards to commands like 'ls' and 'touch' still hold true. Thanks for pointing that out.

[@husseinkassem494]

Or rather you can install ubuntu terminal (or any Linux terminal) on windows and all of a sudden all the command will work

[@zerodivided3676]

@@husseinkassem494 True, but then I would simply suggest using Git Bash, which if you're following along with this lecture will probably be available to you already and works well with the provided commands too. I'm making the assumption that a lot of viewers are not looking to introduce yet another application / some unix shell (or buy a mac :) ) and are running windows 10. Nothing shown here can't be done with good ol' windows and a few workarounds though.

[@nadsmarcelo8863]

The best explanation of fundamentals of git that explained. I totally watched different tutorials and still confused to it. but NOW i am confident about the fundamentals of Git. Thank you Harvard!

Actually i have a complaint about the fact that when i installed git and used it, apart from the commands everything was freaking different it was a pain in the ass to use "git commit, git push" and now i have a hatred against git :)

An excellent explanation, but NOT entirely up-to-date as you currently need RSA key authentication to access the repository from the command line.

[@sylvestermtenga7306]

why am i trying to use the git clone on my Windows Powershell and getting errors? I already have GitHub installed into my computer

[@andrean40]

git is not the same as Github...

[@AadarshRai2]

Few of you may face problem at 9:30 in git clone stuff probably. If you faced it then you must haven't installed git. And after this locate to cd One drive and then you will find whichever folder you want it to place and then create by touch hello.html & git clone link.

What if we're using other code editor like ATOM. How do we run the commands of github on that ?

[@prateeknanda7833]

you can do that exactly the same way except the terminal will be running in your ide. I use VS Code and as soon as you run your program you can use the terminal in the IDE to perform all the tasks

You can use your system terminal as well

[@anassn5818]

I do not have the zsh panel. I use windows, so what is the alternative to it and the corresponding commands to zsh such as git or open

[@spht9ng]

I highly recommend using WSL (Windows Subsystem for Linux). It is built in to Windows. Just click the search button and search for "WSL" and the setting page should come up as the first result. Just click through the dialogue and enable it. It will download an image of any Linux OS you want from the MS Store (I recommend just using Ubuntu). Then you can just search 'WSL' and the WSL terminal should be the first result. You open that and you have a Linux terminal environment which is almost the same as the Mac the instructor is using.

Thank you so much! this was really helpfull

[@Daniel-fi9nb]

Great explanation! However, I'm lost as to what terminal he refers to? Is that the command prompt on my windows?

[@apixelatedpointofview]

Yep, on Windows your CLI is called 'command prompt'. On Mac it's called 'Terminal'.

[@syeda.k.2934]

windows user need to do a one time setup for their username and email on Git , this detail was left out

[@martamichalak7461]

what if it's the other way round? I have a project written in VSCode on my computer and I want to push it to Git Hub for the very first time (no even repository yet)? How do I do that?

[@sayori3939]

I think you'll create a repo on github, then clone that, then copy all your local files into that specific cloned folder then commit -am them and then push them......

[@_rachid]

Thanks a lot .. That was se helpful!
