How to Use GitHub

Don't look like a noob when you see any git project, but learn its POWER! Git is one of the greatest tools ever invented...

Git was first released 16 years ago by Linus Torvalds to manage the development of the Linux kernel.

I think my favourite part of the LTT linux challenge is finding your page.

I'm slowly getting back into Linux to digitize old VHS tapes and it's going well. I'm really looking forward to your debian-titus. I also coincidentally started using git about two days ago. All of these videos are so timely for me.

Thanks for all your hard work!

You definitely must work with both power users and basic users. You clearly grasp that there are levels to this IT world. Your ability to verbalize know the technical aspects to various areas and translate in a way that many people can understand. And the the greatest part is you do it without being condescending, disrespectful like so many elitist. I have been recommending your channel to all of my buddies who previously had a bad taste in there mouth from dealing with the elements in the Linux community who seem to not want Linux to truly be appreciated by everyone even the little guys. You da man Mr. Titus

I think everyone is missing the point. From Linus's point of view, the installation instructions were not clear, and it just said download, but now it is updated. I think being developers/engineers, we always fall behind in documentation.

Nice video, please make a part 2 for more in-depth information like how branches work. And 2 things I noticed:
1) sometimes you use git as a term for both git and GitHub which could cause confusion (but to be fair those points are quite minor)
2) when you highlight a part of the screen (like at 9:13) and blur the background your camera also blurs which I think doesn't look good

I still remember the old days where git was not so popular and people were still using subversion as collaborative tool, man time really flies...

The tutorial I've been waiting for, Thanks Chris!

[zinsy]

Great tutorial on this! I've been a little lost and I think this is a nice overview. I will admit, there have been times where I just wanted to download a single folder and didn't want to download the entire repo, so I've used downgit for that. I think it would be nice if there was a download button next to each file and folder by the commit id or something. I know it will be a while before that happens, but I don't it's an unreasonable improvement that could be made at least years down the line.

[DarkSide]

So basically.
If you're contributing: clone it, make changes, commit, push.
If you want to see changes made/ contributing and collaborating at the same time: fetch every now and then to see changes take effect on your end.
gotcha. It really is simple and I was intimidated at first because i've never used github and all of the files and small projects that I've made are all locally saved or saved somewhere else like onedrive. And this video has made things simpler and clear. thankyou verymuch Chris!

As a pretty new user to Linux, I very recently started using git to manage a couple of things for myself, and to be honest, one can pretty much be up an running with some of the basic tools that git provides very quickly. The advanced features might take some time, but again, they're advanced and I don't need them just yet. It's amazing how powerful these tools are and how efficient they can make your workflow.

[unnatshaneshwar]

wait what!!??!! I didn't expected that from Linus!!

[zaneearldufour]

It *might* make sense for github to have a download button for each object in the browser though

[fatbeard]

I'm so confused. I just want to learn how to install an app/software on my Linux system. I can't seem to find any tutorials on how to do that. Every so called tutorial just talks about what is GIT and GITHUB and how to put your own info into just want to get some software from Git and install is it so difficult? Yes, I'm sorry for the rant, I am still a n00b on Linux since Win 7 lost support. I am an average users, but Git and trying to get Vaulkan drivers for my GPU is so F*ing difficult. Otherwise, I love Linux in all it's glory.

[hamsterwolf]

And this is why I like the Linus Linux challenge series look at all these great videos people are making explaining this stuff. The neck beards are spend their time laughing at Linus but look people are making videos explaining the stuff he gets wrong. Now new users get a better understanding of things that experienced Linux users normally don't think to explain.

[jordantmp]

oh my lands i needed this at the beginning of the school year😅

[marka.]

Good that you show all the various ways to get files off of github, but it would be even more helpful to talk about why you'd pick one method over the other.

[meowcula]

You monetize your expertise and educating through your videos. That's way better than a black-box product, and more sustainable. The open-source model fuels collaboration and naturally spawns sell-able services. The short-sighted old guard who think of every product as a patented black box just don't get what they're missing out on, both in terms of professional satisfaction and monetary gain.

If I could heart this video instead of like it I could since this is what I need right now for website design thanks so much this video means a lot to me it came in the right place and the right time!

[SebHighDef]

you skipped the part where he mentioned that someone explained to him that that's the way to do it

Sometimes...Life is not about money...THIS IS THE SENTENCE GUYS!
