Git-it Tutorial

Git it Write allows to publish the markdown files present in a Github repository to your WordPress site. So with this plugin, whenever the files are added, updated in the repository the WordPress post will be added, updated accordingly.

Git-it (Original, retired) Hi, there! This is the repository for the original Git-it, the version that runs in your terminal. There is a new version, a desktop app, which lives at jlord/git-it-electron. This one still works and you can use it if you want. But I won't be actively maintaining it as I'll be focusing on the desktop version going.
Git(/ɡɪt/)is software for tracking changes in any set of files, usually used for coordinating work among programmerscollaboratively developing source codeduring software development. Its goals include speed, data integrity, and support for distributed, non-linear workflows (thousands of parallel branches running on different systems).

Create a new branch on your fork for your contribution.

Branches

Git repositories use branches to isolate work when needed. It's common practice when working on a project or with others on a project to create a branch to keep your changes in until they are ready. This way you can do your work while the main, commonly named 'master', branch stays stable. When your branch is ready, you merge it back into 'master'.

For a great visualization on how branches work in a project, see this GitHub Guide: guides.github.com/overviews/flow

GitHub Pages

GitHub will automatically serve and host static website files in branches named 'gh-pages'. Since the project you forked creates a website, its main branch is 'gh-pages' instead of 'master'. All sites like this can be found using this pattern for the URL:

http://githubusername.github.io/repositoryname

Step: Create a branch

When you create a branch, Git copies everything from the current branch you're on and places it in the branch you've requested.

Type git status to see what branch you're currently on (it should be 'gh-pages').

Create a branch and name it 'add-<username>', where 'username' is your username. For instance, 'add-jlord'. Branches are case-sensitive so name your branch exactly the way your GitHub name appears.

$ git branch <BRANCHNAME>

Now you have a branch with a new name identical to 'gh-pages'.

To go into that branch and work on it, similar to using cd to change directory in terminal, you checkout a branch. Go onto your new branch:

$ git checkout <BRANCHNAME>

Step: Create a new file

Back to the text editor:

Create a new file named 'add-<USERNAME>.txt', where 'username' is your username. For instance, 'add-jlord.txt'.
Then, just write your GitHub username in it, that's it and that's all. For instance, I'd type 'jlord'.
Save this file in the 'contributors' folder in Patchwork: Patchwork/contributors/add-yourusername.txt
Next, check in your changes!

Step: Check-in

Go through the steps for checking in a project:

$ git status

$ git add <FILENAME>

$ git commit -m '<commit message>'

Well Git It

Now push your update to your fork on GitHub:

$ git push origin <BRANCHNAME>

File NOT in contributors folder

The file you create should inside the existing 'contributors' folder in the Patchwork repository. If you put it somewhere else, simply use Finder or Windows Explorer to move your file into the folder. You can check git status again and you'll find it sees your changes. Stage and then commit 'all' (-A) of these changes (additions and deletions) with the commands below.
