It’s wonderful seeing how people are finally using Git as the classes are now getting more advanced and source control becomes a pure necessity. I’m glad I got a head start, having been introduced to Git and GitHub early last semester at the Bloomberg Hackathon (thank you, Leon Z).
Today I spent about an hour learning random things about git as I fiddled around with cloning the source code for CS 4620. I originally did some mirroring, but found out that bare repositories provided no worktree, which turned out rather inconvenient. I decided to git clone the source code, then edited the remote path so that it would push to my own private repo, but still fetch from the coursestaff’s source code.
Here are the articles I used:
