While you are waiting for getting help, here are some tips to improve your experience:

Code is much easier to read if posted with syntax highlighting and proper formatting.

If nobody is calling back, that usually means that your question was not well asked and hence nobody feels confident enough answering. Try to use your time to elaborate, provide details, context, more code, examples and maybe some screenshots. With enough info, someone knows the answer for sure.

Don't forget to close your thread using the command </help-thread close:1027500463647621170> when your question has been answered, thanks.

• create a github project
• clone it
• learn git
• voila

then clone it

[livid pivot]

.

no

clone it once

once per computer

[molten temple]

Once upon a time I copy pasted files on a flashdrive because I didnt know about git or how to use it.
Long story short - use git

once you get it setup you just do all ur changes on one PC, when ur done with it, commit+push, go to other PC and pull changes

[livid pivot]

you need to add the modification

then commit

then pull

and in the other computer you pull

[molten temple]

on?

[livid pivot]

?

pull is

git pull

I won't talk about gui here

[molten temple]

thats a gui for it, just hover over it

[livid pivot]

only command line

[molten temple]

[livid pivot]

first learn in command line please

[livid pivot]

alright so

the way git work

[shadow shadow]

git pull and push is like downloading and uploading from a dropbox

[livid pivot]

you have a distant repository

[shadow shadow]

think about it like that

[livid pivot]

which is on github

[shadow shadow]

ur git repo is not directly connected or autosynced

[livid pivot]

and you may have local repositories, which are on computer

[shadow shadow]

u can upload and download

While we appreciate all efforts to help individuals, when multiple people join a conversation it can often get confusing for those asking for help. Members may be trying to lead someone down a particular thought process to get to the answer and interrupting can break this.

As a general guideline, try to avoid interrupting ongoing help scenarios unless:
• You feel incorrect information is being given.
• The question has subjective answers.
• The original helper is no longer responding.

You can of course always add additional information after the initial problem has been solved.

let me show you a screenshot

the distant repository is github

the local repositories are the computers, like yours

first you only have your project on github

so you do a git clone, so you get a copy of it in the local repository, in your computer

when you make change to the project, you can push them to the distant repository

they will be visible from github (you can check)

and then you can pull them on another computer

do you understand that ?

now

you need to understand that your changes must be commits

it's basically a mini version

like, have you tried to see the history of google drive doc files ?

yes

but contrary to google drive

here you have total control of it

so a commit may contain several file change

and must have a name

every commit must have a name

so you can make a commit "Modified the file XXX with YYY"

and so, when someone checks the history, he will see this commit

in order to do a commit

you need to tell to git what you want to commit

because you may modify several files but only want to commit some of them

so you git add the files you want to commit

and once you think you added all the files you want to commit

[shadow shadow]

when u push, it doesnt upload "all ur changes". it uploads ur commits. u have to first pack ur changes in commits. then push.
then they also appear in github and will be there when u pull on the other side

[livid pivot]

you can run git commit -m "The commit message here"

wdym

you commit changes

and once you commited, you can push so the distant repository is up to date
then you may check directly on github to see if it go the changes

and then you can pull on another computer

git add *

if you don't want to git add myfile for every file

and then you commit

[shadow shadow]

in ur intellij gui its displayed in a side panel as staged and unstaged changes

and u can click on a commit button

[livid pivot]

and yea ↑ on a gui like intellij or vsc, you get a panel with two sides, one with the files you want to commit, the other with the files you don't want to commit, and you simply just click button to make the files change sides, it will do the git adds for you

yes

that's the same

[shadow shadow]

its just that the gui will sometimes fail or not have the granularity u need. so occasionally u have to revert to console

that's a rather complex story for another day. but for now, either will be fine

did u commit and push the commits already? are they on github?

[livid pivot]

what happens if someone else pushed commits to the distant repository, and you youserlf commitied something, how is git supposed the two different commits, that's the whole problematic here, and I think it's not a problem for now, so check click ok

[shadow shadow]

maybe ur on another branch

[livid pivot]

what is the last commit on github ?

but is the commit visible on github ?

so in the other local respository

when you git pull

it idn't get the change ?

on the terminal

any kind of terminal

even intellij terminal is fine

doesn't matter

the git terminal just has some auto completion and syntax highlighting that's all

you don't really need it

what happens if you run git status ?

push updates the distant repository with the commits of your local repository

[livid pivot]

this

did you do git status ?

[shadow shadow]

what's the upstream. maybe ur connected with a fork?

was the thing private or can u share a link?

can u do git status on the other machine

[livid pivot]

ah yes, basically branches are a things, you are on branch master
"origin" is distant repository so origin/master is master on distant repository
so your branch master is up to date with master in github, so everything is fine 🤔

can you try git fetch --all, and take a screenhot of what it shows ?

[livid pivot]

you have the history of commits here

is tesstff the commit where you try to modify something ?

wdym

do you see your commit here ?

which file did you edit ?

in the log, do you see it ?

what is the name of your commit ?

then go to your pc then

do git pull again

and then git log

and show me

did you clone the project ?

you tried ?

you need to clone it in your pc

did you clone the project in your pc or not ?

then ?

did it work ?

no

something happened

no

when you run git clone

it will create a folder containing the project

that it cloned from github

in the folder where you did the clone

like

you already did that

in your laptop

it's the same thing

what

how do you already have your project ?

you just said you already have your project on the pc

ok so

delete the project that you have in your PC, and instead clone it from github

where did you do the clone ?

right

so now go inside the folder that just appeared

and do git status

show the result

what

do git reset --hard origin/master

what did you do

so

exit intellij

and any terminal

delete the project

open a terminal

and run git clone

what is your command ?

what command did you use ?

and what is the terminal saying ?

you didn't delete the project

it already exist

so it can't do a clone

seems like

delete AdPlug

hmm

try

git config --system core.longpaths true

[livid pivot]

@maiden cosmos

open the terminal with admin permissions

just for this commandf

did you delete this file ?

like the .jar

at the middle of the message

delete it

then add and commit

by deleting it

no

well you can

it doesn't matter

then add and commit

like always

Cannot open github clone in Intellij

Changed the title to Cannot open github clone in Intellij.

[shell pewter]

do they show in the windows explorer?

so you verify that they actually exist

how did you open the project?

show the full folder when cloning it

so the content in the file explorer

opening with this should work fine:

File > New > Project from existing Source > 

and then select the root directory of this project

this menu supports pom.xml projects

so it should work fine

select the folder that got this content

[shell pewter]

is your pom.xml really a pom.xml?

why does it get associated with microsoft edge?

show your pom.xml

[vital pendant]

Fyi to commit all modified files u can use the -a flag

U can do git commit -am "message"
