CSE Github - Shell/Bash

Introduction

CSE Github is a tool designed for programmers to manage their source code, collaborate with others, and publish their projects. It provides a web-based interface and command-line tool that make it easy to work with Git repositories.

One of the most powerful features of CSE Github is the ability to access your repositories through the command-line interface using Shell/Bash. This allows you to perform a variety of tasks, including cloning repositories, creating new branches, pushing commits, and more, all without leaving the comfort of your terminal.

In this guide, we will discuss how to use Shell/Bash to interact with CSE Github and access your repositories.

Getting Started

To get started, you will need to have a CSE Github account and an SSH key associated with your account. You can follow the instructions on the CSE Github website to create an account and generate an SSH key.

Once you have your account set up and your SSH key associated with your account, you can test your connection by running the following command in your terminal:

ssh -T git@github.com

This should output a message confirming that you have successfully authenticated with Github.

Cloning a Repository

To clone a repository from CSE Github, you will need to know the URL of the repository. You can find this URL on the repository's main page on the CSE Github website.

To clone the repository, navigate to the directory where you want to store the repository on your local machine and run the following command:

git clone git@github.com:<username>/<repository>.git

Replace <username> with your CSE Github username and <repository> with the name of the repository you want to clone.

Creating a New Branch

To create a new branch in a repository, navigate to the directory containing the repository and run the following command:

git checkout -b <branch-name>

Replace <branch-name> with the name of the new branch you want to create.

Pushing Commits

After you have made changes to your local repository, you can push your changes to CSE Github using the following command:

git push origin <branch-name>

Replace <branch-name> with the name of the branch you want to push your changes to.

Conclusion

Using Shell/Bash to interact with CSE Github makes it easy to manage your repositories without leaving the comfort of your terminal. With the commands listed in this guide, you can do everything from cloning a repository to pushing your changes with ease.
