Note that git automatically creates a directory where the repository content will be checked out.

origin git@github.com:$username/$project.git (fetch)

origin git@github.com:$username/$project.git (push)

Currently, there is only one remote repository; it is automatically registered during the clone operation. Git remembers this repository as the default repository for push/pull operations.

Any kind of feedback is welcome; please check out the online documentation at

===Commit to Local Repository===

<syntaxhighlight lang="shell">

$ git add readme.txt

Then perform the actual commit:

[master 0fde1fb] Added TODO in section "USING GIT"

1 files changed, 4 insertions(+), 0 deletions(-)

Before executing the actual commit, git will open the default shell editor (determined using the $EDITOR variable, usually vi) to enter a message describing the commit changes.

<syntaxhighlight lang="shell">

$ git commit -a
