you generally have one main per project / per executable

[pine thunder]

what if I need to upload them to github tho. can i upload more than one project (having different programs) in the same repo?

[worldly escarp]

yeah you can have a repo that has serveral projects

[pine thunder]

oh ok so let me just do 5 different project than haha

and which version of c is recommended to code in?

[worldly escarp]

C99 onwards

[pine thunder]

c17 is good?

[worldly escarp]

sure

[pine thunder]

ok tks

ok I have my 4 projects. How shall I upload them to my repo on github?

the first 4 are my projects, and the last 1 is my repo

should i drag the project folders to the repo?

[shy fiber]

Idk about clion, but in vs there's a thing called "solution" that is basically a container for projects. There should be similar functionality in clion 🤔🤔

[pine thunder]

what does "solution" do tho?

[shy fiber]

Container of projects

Oh I see, it uses cmake 🤔🤔

In cmake, there's "targets", and each target is basically an executable you want to compile

[pine thunder]

well our professor told us to use cmake. Im not sure what it does tho

[shy fiber]

Basically you need to create separate target for each task

[pine thunder]

what do you mean by targets tho?

i just have to uploade the code onto github

is it possible maybe it has something to do with the build fuction on Clion

[shy fiber]

Uhmm you first need to initialize a git repository

Commit all the files

Then upload

[pine thunder]

i do already have a repo. Im not sure how to upload my files tho

[shy fiber]

Create an empty repo on github

Copy the link to it

Set it as remote

Then push

[pine thunder]

i coppied the link, now how do i set it as remote haha

[shy fiber]

Hmm search somewhere in clion

[pine thunder]

ill search 1 min

hmm does this mean my code is uploaded?

[shy fiber]

Idk

Well they're uploaded if you can see them on github

[pine thunder]

i have no clue where to check

[shy fiber]

Ok seems not uploaded

Did you commit?

It seems like you're in a commit menu

[pine thunder]

no what is that?

[shy fiber]

It's add the files to the local repository

Only after that you can upload the local repository to github

[pine thunder]

i think i commited but nothing happened

[shy fiber]

Now you can publish/push

[pine thunder]

from where from the desk or web version?

[shy fiber]

From clion

[pine thunder]

its saying this

[shy fiber]

Well from what directory are you running this command

[pine thunder]

wdym?

from clion

[shy fiber]

Type

pwd

What does it output

Hmmm

You need to upload while in the folder where your repository is

[pine thunder]

oh ok so ill move these clion files into the respo and then do this?

[shy fiber]

What files

[pine thunder]

these projects im working on

[shy fiber]

Aren't they already there

[pine thunder]

i removed them now theyre back in their

[shy fiber]

Well ideally you shouldnt have to move anything anywhere

Well you can try now

git push 

[pine thunder]

well something happened but it aint allowing me to enter my password haha

[shy fiber]

Probably it just isn't displayed

Just type like normal and press enter

[pine thunder]

what now

[shy fiber]

Lol

Oh no

You probably have to set up ssh or something

😭😭😭😭😭

[pine thunder]

whats that 😢

[shy fiber]

Well it gave you a link

[pine thunder]

this shit is so confusing

why the hell do people use github

[shy fiber]

To collaborate on a project I guess. Or just to store their code

[pine thunder]

I think i did it!

[shy fiber]

🤠🥳🤘💫📈📈📈

[pine thunder]

yes!

why was that so hard 💀

[shy fiber]

Well this probably should be explained gradually at university

Like, first hello world

Then program with multiple files

Then make

Then cmake

Then git

Not just thrown like this 🤔🤔

[pine thunder]

exactlly that what i was saying

im so tired of uni already such bull

also is their a command or a way to update the files?

thank you very much @shy fiber for your help really means a lot. although im going to delete this post due to I have a lot of information about me and professor hahah. Thanks again
