[pliant shore]

Hello anyone?

[fading kindle]

How can help you

[pliant shore]

i need some guide for binding vs code to github

i already insatlled git

[fading kindle]

Open vs code

[pliant shore]

ok

[fading kindle]

The terminal

[pliant shore]

ok

[fading kindle]

Then terminal

git --version

Paste this in terminal

[pliant shore]

git version 2.46.2.windows.1

win7

its the last supported version for window 7 os

[fading kindle]

It means you have installed git correctly, now VS Code Terminal:
git config --global user.name "Your Name"
git config --global user.email "[email protected]"

[pliant shore]

my github username?

[fading kindle]

Your GitHub username is the name you chose when you created your GitHub account.
It’s the name that appears:
In the URL of your profile: https://github.com/**username**
In the top-right corner of GitHub when you’re logged in.

Did you used chatgpt

[pliant shore]

😅

[fading kindle]

Yes na

[pliant shore]

he ended up giving me commands that deletd my whole fileesss

[pliant shore]

done

[fading kindle]

I have given commands to you for checking up version, lemme ping any engineer 😁

[pliant shore]

ok

[fading kindle]

@high cipher

[pliant shore]

i am so confused i want to collaborate with someone at night , but so frustrated

[high cipher]

hey

what's wrong

[pliant shore]

can you see our whole chats its frustrating

[fading kindle]

.

[high cipher]

lemme catch up

[high cipher]

who did?

wtf

[pliant shore]

chatgpt

[high cipher]

what did it tell you to run?

[pliant shore]

i was telling him how to add my files to git and stuff he gave me commands and i dont know what happened

chatgpt is ahellll

for coding

[high cipher]

wait do you still have the .git folder

in your projsct?

[pliant shore]

but they are saved in my repo

[fading kindle]

Share that GPT chat if possible otherwise it's depends on you if sensitive

[pliant shore]

somehow

[high cipher]

locally?

[pliant shore]

on github

[high cipher]

oh good

[pliant shore]

i saw recent comments , clicked on my recent comments and all my files were there somehow

[high cipher]

well as long as you don't force push to github they'll still be there

so don't run anything else chatgpt says to

can you share the link you see your files on?

[pliant shore]

thats why i need proper guide to how to do this stuff

ok

[high cipher]

someone keeps trying to reset my Facebook password

[ebon flame]

if this wasnt enough for u to figure it out: dont use chatgpt and specially dont blindly copy paste stuff from chatgpt SPECIALLY terminal commands . . .

[high cipher]

and I'm getting the SMS texts

super annoying

[pliant shore]

https://github.com/sarimgamerop-cloud/Tic-Tac-Toe-Game-SpecialCodes-x-Aaalluu-

in the recent comments

[ebon flame]

just be like me, delete facebook account

[pliant shore]

can someone tell me proper guide to link vs code to github and operate?

please i am looking for hours

and chatgpt ruined it

[high cipher]

well first

do you have a copy of all your files locally?

[pliant shore]

nope how can i restore that recent comment "Initial commit" thing?
mean save them on my pc?
safely

[high cipher]

well let's get them on your pc first

initial commit is the one you want to restore?

[fading kindle]

@high cipher Enable MFA or passkey

[pliant shore]

yes

[high cipher]

https://github.com/sarimgamerop-cloud/Tic-Tac-Toe-Game-SpecialCodes-x-Aaalluu-/tree/6129fe4c3a5ca3d1fc36f4b63f0b2babc3e754b0

[analog abyss]

Github lets you browse a repo's files at a specific commit, you can download them here https://github.com/sarimgamerop-cloud/Tic-Tac-Toe-Game-SpecialCodes-x-Aaalluu-/tree/3346738076c8c3639ad27673251f4a7169f23416
you can also roll back to a specific commit in your local Git rep by doing git reset <commitID>
The commit before the one that deleted your files has an ID of 3346738076c8c3639ad27673251f4a7169f23416, so you can use:
git reset 3346738076c8c3639ad27673251f4a7169f23416

[fading kindle]

For facebook

[high cipher]

this set of files?

[pliant shore]

yeah exactly

thats some huge files

[high cipher]

go ahead and click the clone button and do download zip

before you do anything else

and put that in a safe place

[pliant shore]

ok wheres clone?

[high cipher]

sorry it actually says Code

[pliant shore]

oh ojkk

it will download everything in a zip?

[high cipher]

at that version yeah

[fading kindle]

Yes

[pliant shore]

okk so its downlaoding meaning i can downlaod them anytime too

[fading kindle]

Sorry for disturbing
BTW what is happening with your Facebook profile

[high cipher]

yeah, but github repo can be messed up

like there's command that will literally erase it

so keep a local backup

that's not on git

[pliant shore]

they can remove recent commits?

[high cipher]

yes

[pliant shore]

dangerous

[high cipher]

you can checkout at an early version and force push that, and everything after that will be gone forever

it's a good thing chatgpt didn't say to do that

[pliant shore]

btw whats the ppush pull?

[high cipher]

can you take it from here @fading kindle

or others in chat

[high cipher]

synchronizing with online repo

[pliant shore]

but no one told me how to srtup it

[high cipher]

pull will get the changes from github to your local, push will push them up

[pliant shore]

oh ok

[high cipher]

if you can push and pull from your local then everything should just work from vscode

vscode just runs git command like you would from command line

[pliant shore]

from chatgpt? hell nah

[high cipher]

no no

chatgpt probably told you to run stuff in your command line ? that use git?

[pliant shore]

yes

git add . etc

[fading kindle]

@high cipher right now I am going out for car wash so I can't but I can help out with pinging any others.

[high cipher]

well if pushing and pulling worked, then git is set up properly to work with github

and vecode just wraps around git command line

[high cipher]

ok

[pliant shore]

i created a new folder and repo how to link them and just tell me that how to add or change a file in github through vscode

Can you ping any other?

[high cipher]

what i do (because it's hard to create a repo from scratch on command line)

i create a new project on github, then I clone that on local

and everything will be properly see up for you to work on

[pliant shore]

wait wait

i created a repository on git hub ok now i need a system like that can add the files to my repo by the command line , it isnt whats other says?

i just listened that

[high cipher]

so

clone you project

[pliant shore]

i created a repo and i am doing someyhing to collaborate?

[high cipher]

i think you can do it from vscode but i do it from command line

you have the URL for your new project?

[pliant shore]

yes

[high cipher]

ok open up your command line

[pliant shore]

vs code?

terminal?

[high cipher]

no cmd

terminal yeah

where do you like to keep all your projects? you will want to cd to that directory

[pliant shore]

wait a min i have to log off for cmd to open

[high cipher]

k

[pliant shore]

terminal?

ok opened

[high cipher]

you don't have a terminal app?

ok cd to the place you keep your projects

[short elbow]

I'd have thought the run window below the code in vscode might also do.

[high cipher]

oh good point, that would work as well

[pliant shore]

thats what i am doing

its also a terminal

of the folder

so whats next

[high cipher]

are you in the directory for your projects?

[pliant shore]

i already did config,usernmae things by modi

[pliant shore]

i created a new folder for all of this stuff

[high cipher]

are you currently there

[pliant shore]

yes

[high cipher]

in the terminal

ok

do git clone https://github.com/abc/xyz

whatever the github url is

[pliant shore]

mean to copy url?

[high cipher]

you can

[short elbow]

If you want to push back up, wouldn't an ssh URL be needed? (Unknown, i use ssh for my githubbing.)

[high cipher]

you can use http as well

[short elbow]

Ah cool.

[high cipher]

i doubt they have sah set up for github

[pliant shore]

yeah html

[high cipher]

but idk

should work the same

[pliant shore]

https://github.com/sarimgamerop-cloud/TicTacToe-SpecialxAaalluu-Repo

this thing?

[high cipher]

yeah

[pliant shore]

ok next

[high cipher]

ok now your can just open folder in vacode

to the repo you clones

[pliant shore]

i already did

[high cipher]

then you're good

[pliant shore]

?

[high cipher]

you've got your empty project open

[pliant shore]

how?

[short elbow]

Did you git clone *the-url-here* ?

[pliant shore]

no commands?

[pliant shore]

nope

[short elbow]

You can git clone the-github-url and optionally add a folder name for the clone to land in, otherwise it will use the base of the url as the new folder name

[pliant shore]

ok lemme do it

isnt it ""?

[short elbow]

?

[pliant shore]

• url here *

ok it satrted cloning

is says done

[short elbow]

Yay. You should now have a new folder. Open that new folder in vscode.

[pliant shore]

and have a folder of my repo

with read.md

[pliant shore]

now i can see everything in my vs code?

[short elbow]

@high cipher still there?

[pliant shore]

i think he was busy

[short elbow]

Ok.

Does it looks like vscode sees the new folder, which should have a copy of the stuff from github.

[pliant shore]

so what if wanted to add a file directly from the terminal to github repo?

[pliant shore]

yeah i didnt uploaded something yet

[short elbow]

Make the file locally. git add the-filename; git commit -m "some comment" the-filename
That adds it to the local git repo.
git push should push it up to github.

[pliant shore]

so i need to execute both 3 commands?

[short elbow]

So:

• git add filename tells git to track that file
• git commit tells git to save the current contents of the file to git - we do this for new changes
• git push updates the upstream (github) from your local repo

There might be some funky vscode stuff for this - I don't use vscode.

[pliant shore]

so to push anything i made in vs code we use git push?

[short elbow]

Your git repo is complete and standalone. So is github. git push pushes any local update up to github. git pull pulls new changes from upstream (github) to the local repo.

[pliant shore]

oh

[short elbow]

Any edits you do locally aren't "in git" until you git commit them. Which is good.

[pliant shore]

can you give me a example so i can work on

[short elbow]

In a hour or so (ping me?) I need to go outsde and put the animals to bed - it's dusk.

[pliant shore]

so to upload a file to git from vs code i need to git add , commit and then git push?

[pliant shore]

👀

[short elbow]

git add is only needed once, for new files. git commit adds new changes to modified files, to git. Locally. git push pushes commited changes from here to github.

[pliant shore]

so my local repo that is cloned , i made .py file and i want to upload it into github what exact things should i follow?

through the terminal?

😫

[high cipher]

you add the file first

[pliant shore]

anyone back?

[high cipher]

you can actually do it from vscode

that's probably easier

[pliant shore]

how to

thats why i opened this help

i added a script.py file

in local repo

[pliant shore]

how to upload it into github through the terminal

[high cipher]

do you see that icon on the left

[pliant shore]

yes

[high cipher]

click that

send me a screenshot of what you see

[high cipher]

ok

so it says A for add

is already in the set of stuff that will get committed

[pliant shore]

i did something like git add Script.py

[high cipher]

perfect

[pliant shore]

so i have to add a file firstly yeah?

[high cipher]

so you just need to type a message and click commit

yeah

you can hit "+" in vacode to do that i think

[pliant shore]

2nd step

[high cipher]

if the file wasn't already added

[high cipher]

yeah once it is staged you're ready to commit

it just requires a message

[pliant shore]

whats is i added the file and now i have to commit it?

[high cipher]

yep

[pliant shore]

how to

[high cipher]

i just told you what to do didn't i

[pliant shore]

git commit -m "commit" Script.py?

[high cipher]

if it's added you don't need to write the filename

but yes

you could also just use the UI

[pliant shore]

but it dont appear the button

[high cipher]

it is there

you just have to type something in the box

[pliant shore]

but not blue to be clickable

[high cipher]

you're not reading what I'm saying

type a message

[pliant shore]

[master (root-commit) 551ec69] add Scrip.py
1 file changed, 1 insertion(+)
create mode 100644 Script.py

[high cipher]

there you go

[hazy saffron]

wait

[pliant shore]

message?

[hazy saffron]

like binding github copilot to vscode?

[high cipher]

no he just means regular git

he's just trying to add files, commit and push them up

[hazy saffron]

ahh

[pliant shore]

ok so i have to git push?

[hazy saffron]

so like opeing a github repo's source code?

ok nbm

md

[pliant shore]

yeah

[high cipher]

yeah

git push

[hazy saffron]

why dont you just download the zip and import it to vscode?

[pliant shore]

fatal: No configured push destination.
Either specify the URL from the command-line or configure a remote repository using

git remote add <name> <url>

and then push using the remote name

git push <name>

[pliant shore]

now we are trying to do a how to upload the changes back on the repo

[high cipher]

there should be a remote if you cloned from github

did you clone the repo from github?

[pliant shore]

i cloned with url didnt i?

[high cipher]

i don't know, is that what you did?

there should be a remote set up already

[pliant shore]

so if its not we can set up , byt thats not natural as we cloned it?

[high cipher]

you must not be in the directory you cloned into

[pliant shore]

did this

[high cipher]

or there would already be a remote

did you cd into the folder after you cloned it?

[pliant shore]

lemme see

i have the same folder bro

[high cipher]

you should be in a folder called "TicTacToe-SpecialxAaalluu-Repo" that was created by git when you cloned

send me a screenshot of your terminal

[pliant shore]

git remote add origin <repo-url>

[high cipher]

bro im gonna let you figure out coz your not reading anything I'm saying to do

sorry

[pliant shore]

what ?

here what you wanted

[high cipher]

you are in a folder called github

[pliant shore]

[high cipher]

i don't think you cd into the tic tac toe folder

cd TicTacToe-SpecialxAaalluu-Repo

when you clone something from github, say github.com/user/reponame, it will say 'cloning into reponame..." - that creates the folder "reponame" with gir set up and the remote will already be set up too. you cd into that folder and that's where you do the work. or you can do file >> open folder in vscode, and select the "reponame" folder. if you work that way, when it comes to push the repo, it won't say there is no remote set up.

[pliant shore]

its the Github folder and has the repo named folder

is here i want to do

[short elbow]

You do if the commit is only for the changes in that file.
