  sudo apt-get install git
  

• A Github account

• Java How to Program, 10th Edition.pdf

Working with this repository

Beginning Work

The repository contains folders labeled with the name of each contributor The folders are going to contain the code of the completed tasks for each user at the end of each week Each contributor will create a sub folders labeled week1, week2... and store the conresponding tasks for each week. In order to achieve this:

• First fork the Java_Exe repository from lehone-hp. You may use the tutorial http://help.github.com/fork-a-repo

• Clone the project repository from your fork so that you can start working on it. Fire up Terminal, move to the directory where you want the projrct to be stored and enter the command:

  git	clone	https://github.com/{yourusername}/Java_Exe.git
  

• Now, go into the folder just created and set up the "upstream" remote so you can eventually pull changes from the main repository.

  git	remote	add	upstream	https://github.com/lehone-hp/Java_Exe.git
  

Use git to manage your work

• In order to contribute, we are each going to work with the master branch of our fork. So enter the command:

  git status
  

  to check if your on the master branch which you are suppose to be in.

  Now you may start working on your task in the master branch.

• To identify which files you have changed use:

  git status
  

Stage and Commit your changes

• As you work on your code, you may want to periodically stage and commit your changes into your branch. To stage all changed and new files into your commit, use the command:

  git	add	-A
  

  Now these files are staged, and ready to be committed.

• To commit your code into your branch, let's say for week 1, use the command:

  git	commit  -m  "Week 1:	add a short description"
  

Pushing your code and creating a pull request

After multiple iterations of making changes to your code and committing them into your branch, push your code into your fork by running the following commands.

• Update your branch to the latest code using the following command:

  git	pull	--rebase	upstream	master
  

• Push your changes into your fork

  git push
  

  Running this command will prompt you to authenticate into GitHub. After doing so, it will upload the changes into your fork. You may now visit your push on GitHub at a URL like

    http://github.com/{yourgithubname}/Java_Exe/
  

• Now create a pull request using the create pull request link on Github so that your code can be merged with the main repository; lehone-hp/Java_Exe
