![]() ![]() You should also see a field, highligthed above, with random characters on the top of that window: that’s the public key. ![]() We’ll use it in a minute, so save it with a file name and in a location you’ll remember (unless you want to it to play the mouse cursor mini-game again!) Click on Remotes->PuTTY->Generate or import key.Ĭlick on Generate and you get a short and easy mini-game: just keep moving your mouse cursor around until you complete the green bar and the keys get generated.įor the private key, you’ll just need to save it in your computer by clicking ‘save private key button’. One of the keys, called private, will be stored on your local computer (and attached to you local repo) and the other key, public, will be given to github (the remote).īut how do we create a pair of keys in the first place? Fortunately, GitExtensions has a tool to generate pretty unique keys. The communication between your local and remote repo(s) is done via the SSH protocol, by using a pair of keys that can recognize each other. (From now on, try to keep both gitExtensions and the github site opened and/or minimed for quick access).īefore we go on with the tutorial, let me explain a bit the next steps. Don’t worry about all the news things that came up on that page, we’ll be dealing with some of them as the guide progress.Īs you can see, your forked project is called username/WoW-Pro-Guides, which will be your personal remote repository of WoWPro.īut now, to actually modify it, as I hinted before, we need to have a local repository of that remote. Ok, now you have a forked version of WoWPro’s addon. You can also click Watch, to receive notifications and news, by e-mail and on your github homepage, related to the project. Nomenclature: Fork: make a full copy of a github project in order to start independent development on it.įor that, while logged into Github, go to Jiyambi’s repo, here: Īnd click the “Fork” button. Let’s add a project to it, by “forking” WoWPro’s addon, from Jiyambi’s original repository. So, by now, you should have your very own github account. This is the Part 2 of the guide on how to use git / github, covering Forking github projects and managing local and remote repositories.
