3. Open the Clone Happy activity and clone some code!

3. First-time Git Config Setup

Cloning 3rd party repos is great, but we’d like to create our own repos eventually (i.e. today!). But first, we need to set our name and email in Git.

Materials

• Git - First-time setup

4. Publishing our First Website

Now that we’ve set up Git, let’s actually use it!

Materials

• Project: Publish a webpage with Git and GitHub Pages
• Optional(?): Set up SSH Keys if you’re having trouble pushing code to GitHub.
