This week in class we learned GIT! The objective of the lab is to add our public key to a branch and upload it back to the professor to merge it to his master branch.
I will use git clone to clone a repository into a newly created directory on my own computer.
[root@challahar ~]# git clone ssh://sbr600@scotland.proximity.on.ca/~/certs
Cloning into certs…

[root@challahar ~]# cd certs/
Going to read the instructions that the teacher provided
[root@challahar certs]# cat readme.txt
This GIT repo contains public certs for all SBR600 students.
Please add your public key cert, using the filename “YourMatrixID.pub”
(replace YourMatrixID with your actual Matrix ID).
To add your cert:
1. Clone this repository to your computer: git clone …
2. Create a new branch: git checkout -b …
3. Add your files: git add …
git commit …
4. Check the logs. Everything look ok? git log
5. Push your branch: git push origin YourBranch:YourBranch
[root@challahar certs]#
I will create a branch called celeste and switch to that branch with the following command:
[root@challahar certs]# git checkout -b celeste
Switched to a new branch ‘celeste’
[root@challahar ~]# cd certs/
Create a copy of my public key and rename it challahar.pub
[root@challahar certs]# cp /home/challahar/Desktop/id_rsa.pub challahar.pub
[root@challahar certs]# ll
total 12
-rw-r–r–. 1 root root 396 Feb 16 05:22 challahar.pub
-rw-r–r–. 1 root root 412 Feb 16 05:07 ctyler.pub
-rw-r–r–. 1 root root 576 Feb 16 05:07 readme.txt
[root@challahar certs]# git add challahar.pub
I will then run the command git commit which will stores the current contents of the index in a new commit along with a log message from the user describing the changes.
[root@challahar certs]# git commit -m “Added the file challahar.pub”
[celeste a4c5b6c] Added the file challahar.pub
