Link to GitHub

First - Set your user info for Git on your computer

Before you can use GitHub in your VSCode, you need to make sure your info is correct. This only has to be done once (per computer).

1. If you don't see a terminal in the bottom, open one (Terminal > New Terminal)

2. Enter this: git config --global user.name "Your Name" * use your name, for example Mr. Squirrel

3. Not enter: git config --global user.email "first.last@stu.ocsb.ca" * use your email address for example mrsquirrel@stu.ocsb.ca

Let's download this repo and edit it inside VSCode

You have to close your current work in VSCode by going to FILE > Close Folder (don't worry, you can always open the folder again later)

Option 1:

• Open GitHub and then create a new repository or open an existing repository and copy the URL

• In GitHub Click on the Source Control menu on the left (CTRL+SHIFT+G keyboard shortcut)

• Click on Clone Repository

• In the panel that opens, paste the URL to the repository and hit ENTER

• You'll be asked where to save the code on your computer (don't select "My Drive")

• You might be asked if you want to open the workspace - yes, click Open
