Final git setup step:

git config --global core.editor "nano"

This keeps you from getting lost in vim.

git remote rename origin silshack

This renames our default-named origin branch ‘silshack’ for clarity.

Clone

From Cloud 9:

git clone https://github.com/silshack/spring2016.git

(unless you set up SSH, in which case you should pick the SSH url from our class repo)

Run

# Change into the new directory
cd spring2016

# Command line tip: start typing something and press tab to autocomplete
# sp<tab> will sutocomplete to spring2016.

# Install stuff
bundle install

# Make a new branch
git checkout -b [your-github-name]-branch 

# (e.g. mine would be git checkout -b eah13-branch 

# Start Jekyll (the port and host stuff is Cloud 9 specific)
jekyll serve --watch --port=$PORT --host=$IP

You’ll then be able to see your version of our website at:

[c9-project-name]-[username].c9.io/spring2016/

Where c9-project-name is the name of your Cloud 9 workspace. Note the spring2016/! The trailing slash is important.

Tips

• You can press Ctrl-C in the Terminal to kill this process if you need to.
• Press the up arrow to fill the command line with a previous command you typed
• You can open a second terminal in Cloud 9 with a + button. if you open a second termina, be sure to cd spring2016 because it will start you out in the workspace folder.

For your next assignment, you’ll be editing your .md files. You should be able to see your changes show up a few seconds after your save. Watch the terminal for an indication that things are done.
