Join us on slack!

pyStudyGroup is a python user group located on slack in which members can:

• Ask for help
• Share code and ideas
• Plan and create projects as teams

This repository is for pyStudyGroup members to introduce ourselves as well as share small pieces of code with other users

The following is a short introduction to git and getting started with pyStudyGroup but should by no means be considered a complete guide. Please take time to get familiar with git and github to better communicate with fellow members.

• www.git-scm.com
• www.github.com

Before getting started make sure you have installed git on your system and that you have a github account

To get started we must fork this project. Forking another user's project creates a copy in your own repository which you may edit and later send changes back to the original project.

To fork this project simply click on fork in the top right-hand corner of this page

A clone is copy of your git project located on your computer. This is where we edit files in the project.

To create a clone run the following code, replacing <user> with your github username

$ git clone https://github.com/<user>/pyStudyGroupSlack.git .

Then go inside the pyStudyGroupSlack directory

$ cd pyStudyGroupSlack

While inside pyStudyGroup, create a directory with your slack username

$ mkdir <username>
$ git add <username>

and go inside that directory

$ cd <username>

And there you can do what ever you want, this is your personal folder in our git project! This is a great place to save and share code with other users

For this example I will create a README.md file saying some things about me

$ vim README.md

Then add this folder to github tracking

$ git add .

Then commit with your slack username as the message and push (upload) the changes to github

$ git commit -m <username>
$ git push

Finally we must get this back to Belonias/pyStudyGroupSlack. So go to the project's github page at https://github.com/Belonias/pyStudyGroupSlack and click "Compare and pull request" to submit your changes to the original project (pending approval)

Thank you for reading and joining us at pyStudyGroup!
