Everybody should run through the following for some quick 'n dirty git action

1. Create your local git repository

• cd <location> - go to your own project folder destination on your computer
• git init - this creates the git repository

2. Clone the repository

• git clone [e-mail]:btrebach/basic-git-tutorial.git
• touch FirstnameLastname.txt

4. Add files to index

• git add FirstnameLastname.txt

5. Moves the file to the Head

• git commit -m 'FirstnameLastname initial commit'

6. git status --> should show the file you just created

• This shows the difference between the Working Directory (your computer) and the Index (staging area)

7. Push the file to the actual remote repository (on GitHub)

• git push origin master

Boom, there's your basic workflow.

If you have already cloned the repo but run git status and see people have added their own files run git pull origin master to pull down the latest and greatest.
