As we’ve become nerdier while learning from Bart, we have started to add hidden configuration files to our Macs and PCs. On the Mac, these configuration files hidden by default by putting a dot in front of them, and hence they are called dot files. Maybe you’ve stored your ssh keys, or in our Git […]

CCATP #692 – Bart Busschots on PBS 120 – Ignoring Files in Git
A few weeks ago I told Bart off the air that when he was done with his mini-series within a series all about the version control system Git, I’d like a few minutes with him offline so he could explain how to ignore files in Git. I knew there was a way to do it […]

As promised, Bart takes us through the final step in our GitHub journey – learning how to contribute to an open source project.

CCATP #686 – Bart Busschots on PBS #117 of X – Introducing GitHub
In this week’s installment of Programming By Stealth, Bart teaches us how to use GitHub as a public repository for our code, or for anything we write for that matter. He reviews why he chose Github, and then we dig right in. He does explain the benefits of using SSH to access Github instead of […]

In previous installments of our Git miniseries within a series in Programming By Stealth, Bart taught us how to work in Git standalone on one computer, then how to work as one developer with multiple computers. In those installments he taught us the necessary commands and their importance in the Git scheme of things. In […]

When Bart started this mini-series within a series on using Git for version control, he explained that our journey would be in three Phases. Phase 1 was the section where we learned about local repositories, and Phase two was dedicated to learning how to have multiple repositories just for ourselves. In this lesson, we finish […]

We continue on our journey to learn how to use Git to do version control as a single person, but this time with multiple devices. As Bart says during this episode, “Who is learning to program here who doesn’t have multiple computers?” We’ve learned how to push our changes to a single separate repo, but […]

Last time on Programming By Stealth, Bart introduced the concept of remote repositories, also known as remotes. It was one of those episodes where we learned a lot but didn’t get to apply what we learned. In this week’s installment, we get our hands digitally dirty as we create a bare repository (a repo with […]

In this next installment in our mini-series on learning Git, Bart Busschots gives us some foundational knowledge on how to work beyond being one person with one Git repository. He starts by reinforcing what he’s explained before, that Git is a peer-to-peer technology, which is hard to wrap your head around if you’re used to […]
