Note: GitHub Desktop is not currently usable on Linux so the command line git commands must be used.

Creating a local Git repository using terminal

Open a terminal window and type the following commands:

cd gitDestinationFolder
git init
git clone GitHub repository url . (The period places files in the current directory.)
git remote -v (To view the current repositories for the project.)
git branch -a (To view the branches.)

You will need to enter your GitHub username & password if prompted to do so.

Note: Creating the repository may need to be performed at the start of each class due to the way school computers are managed, but only once on a personal device where user data is saved. Be sure you commit any changes and run git push origin master at the end of each work session or class as well as git pull origin master at the beginning.
