Up and Running with Visual Studio Code and GitHub

[@thingsis]

Hi Bill, I had been looking for a good tutorial for git in general. After searching for a while and watching some videos I stumbled across this. Since I am using vscode myself I thought 'why not'. Well, this was exactly what I needed. A great explanation of what this process looks like and how to set it up. Thanks a lot Bill! You efforts are highly appreciated! Henrik

[@bill-raymond]

Thanks! I needed this when I was coding too :-)

[@taylormade8347]

Bill!! Thank you SO MUCH for this video! I've reviewing tutorial after tutorial and kept running into issues and they just weren't explaining and guiding the way I needed, and your video is AMAZING!! Thank you so much, I'm only about 20 mins in but had to pause and tell you how fantastic your gentle guidance and patient instruction is! Thanks again!

[@bill-raymond]

Well thank you! That comment made my night!

[@taylormade8347]

@@bill-raymond You're welcome my friend! Keep up the great videos! You've got my subscription

[@bill-raymond]

Thank you very much! And yes I do create more videos, but they take some time because there’s a lot of storyboarding and planning involved

[@zealotist]

I felt really happy when I heard "were not gonna use the command line"😅 Great Tutorial by the way. Keep up the good work👍

[@bill-raymond]

Thanks! I have been using the command line and quite honestly, I enjoy using the front-end as it does not require as much context switching. That said, the front end is not as powerful, so for bigger projects with more people involved, it may not be as useful.

[@astaganaga1906]

Thank you so much Bill you don’t know how much this has helped me

[@bill-raymond]

That’s great news! Thank you!

[@kenkioqqo]

[@sandortudja2087]

Thanks for this video. Now I understand Git and GitHub better. You should title this video like this: GitHub - Visual Studio Code 101😂 Nice work!👍

[@bill-raymond]

Good thought on the title, thank you. Also, thank you for the great comment and I’m glad it helped you!

Thanks for this Bill. I found it very useful

[@bill-raymond]

Great news. I am glad it helped!

[@radueneaioan]

It's there a way to add a new Source Control? I mean to add a new local repository that with a new remote on Git Hub.

[@bill-raymond]

If you do a command+shift+p (or control+shift+p on Windows), type "Add remote.." or "Remove Remote..."

[@betakors]

Thank you!

[@bill-raymond]

You are very welcome!

[@imtiajahammad3586]

Thanks for the step by step instruction it helped me.

[@bill-raymond]

No problem. Glad it was helpful!

Great video! Thanks so much for sharing your knowledge. You were very comprehensive.

[@bill-raymond]

Thank you very much! I appreciate the nice comment!

[@dashmirmejdi38fu3ue8]

At 37:00 the terminal part, I have installed git on my computer and so well did in the VS code but I had the error message that required Identity. I checked some VS code repo issues about that problem and I just followed what they say. The question how do you properly fixed that part I just did exactly git config --global user.email "[e-mail]" git config --global user.name "Your Name" but this one is required everytime you start the project.

[@bill-raymond]

Hmm.. it is not necessarily required, but of course highly recommended. It certainly should not be asking you to do this every time. When you run those commands, does it give you any warnings?

[@dashmirmejdi38fu3ue8]

Nope no error warning only a requirement when I need to commit. Anyways I won't do more than 10 projects

[@bill-raymond]

@@dashmirmejdi38fu3ue8 Ah, okay. Thanks

[@essamkhattab2156]

you are the best! keep up!

[@bill-raymond]

Thank you, once again! As always, I would appreciate if you share :)

[@jbfarnell]

Great instructional video. I like how you just show what's necessary without all the fluff. One suggestion: perhaps split up the video into smaller chunks. Could probably get away with splitting this one into at least 3-4 more manageable videos

[@bill-raymond]

Thank you very much for your kind words. Yes, I considered creating multiple videos and ultimately made the choice to do an all-in-one purely out of convenience. I will definitely take your feedback for future videos.

[@__VAL__]

This tutorial has helped loads! Everything was explained perfectly. I am now confident I can now use this knowledge in all my future projects, Thank you!

[@bill-raymond]

Great news, thank you!

[@shakerdl120]

You're the best, thank you very much waiting for more videos to be released ... :) :)

[@bill-raymond]

@tal Thank you! Is there anything in particular you would be interested in? Also, I am growing this community, so would appreciate your sharing my videos or the channel with others. Thanks again!

Git fetch: when you are working on a branch and you create a new branch in git remote repo, and if you want to switch to that newly created branch, you need to fetch than only the branch name switch option will be visible otherwise it won't..this is where i found git fetch useful

[@bill-raymond]

Thanks for the tip!

Really great content.... I was looking for that only Many thanks 🙏

Hi Bill, After cloning I am seeing Failed to watch ref 'c:\Automation\NAP-PROJECT\NAP-PROJECT\.git efs emotes\origin\master', is most likely packed. Error: ENOENT: no such file or directory, watch 'c:\Automation\NAP-PROJECT\NAP-PROJECT\.git efs emotes\origin\master' error message. could you please let me know what might be the issue

[@bill-raymond]

If you provide me the remove link you are cloning from, I can take a look.

I had a problem with "fetch". My git version was old so I removed it and installed the latest version. git-scm.com/downloads

[@bill-raymond]

Ah, I didn't know that would be an issue. Thank you for sharing your fix!

[@jayrich1438]

hoi! ik komm uits de nederlands

[@bill-raymond]

Unfortunately, I cannot do that because KZbin has canceled the feature. If you would like to work with me to translate them, I am happy to help by providing the original videos or if you provide me with the subtitles, I can work to include them! Send me an email at [e-mail]

[@tilakmadichettitheappdeveloper]

you should have use git lens

[@bill-raymond]

Yes, I do use Git Lens and I think VSC is getting even better at incorporating similar functionality into the code. Some time in the next month or two, I might post an update, but try not to focus on extensions on my videos too much because they distract from the core training. I really appreciate your sharing this with anyone that might be reading because Git Lens is a great tool and worth installing.

[@tilakmadichettitheappdeveloper]

@@bill-raymond good to know you didn't forget your KZbin channel

[@bill-raymond]

Thanks. I’ve had to deal with other priorities due to the pandemic, but I’m starting to publish more videos again.
