Git & GitHub

Step 1

Git Installation

Install Git and set the basic identity you will reuse across projects.

Step 2

GitHub Account Setup

Prepare the GitHub account you will use for repositories and collaboration.

Step 3

Connect GitHub

Connect the GitHub account inside VS Code before you create the first repository.

Step 4

Create Repository

Create the first empty private repository before you bring in the local project.

Step 5

Clone + First Push

Clone the empty repository, add the project files, and publish the first commit.

Topic 1

Pull & Push

Repeat one clean sync loop so local work and remote history stay aligned.

Topic 2

Version Control

Understand tracked, staged, committed, and ignored states well enough to stay calm.

Topic 3

Collaboration

Use a small-team repository workflow that stays readable and predictable.

Topic 4

Conflict

Resolve same-file text conflicts without panic and return to the normal loop.

Optional

If your collaborator uses Overleaf instead of VS Code, you can still work in VS Code by connecting Overleaf and GitHub.
