This exercise focuses on enabling you to do the following:

• Create a repository in GitHub repositories
• Importing an existing repository into your new repositories.
• Update and add files and commit the changes to GitHub.

Task 1: Create repository in GitHub and import existing repository

Step	Action
1-1	Create a new repository on GitHub.com (e.g. myatomsample). You don’t have to initialise the repository with a README because you are importing an existing repository.
1-2	Once your repository is created in GitHub, scroll down to ‘import code’ and paste the url of this sample repository: https://github.com/macmurph42/atomsample.git . This may take a couple of minutes.
1-3	Copy the GitHub URL of your new updated repository (e.g. https://github.com/macmurph42/mtatomsample.git)
1-3	In the Atom Editor type Shift-Command-P (Shift-Ctrl-P on Windows) to toggle the Atom Command Palette
1-4	Type Github:Clone and paste the url from step 2. (Your new repository) This will also create a new folder in your GitHub home directory on your disk (e.g. /Users/florianmeyer/github/atomsample)
1-5	At some point, you may be asked to enter a GitHub token to authorize GitHub for Atom. You can create this token here https://github.atom.io/auth/github_package/token

Task2: Create new files and update your repository

Step	Action
2-1	Create a new file in your project. You can create that file in Finder/Windows File Explorer natively or you can create that file in the Atom Editor.
2-2	When you create a new file or update an existing one, the file will be listed in the ‘Git’ Tab in Atom as ‘Unstaged Change’.
2-3	Click on ‘Stage all’, the file will now be listed in ‘Staged Changes’.
2-4	Type some text in the text field and click "Commit to initial". You cannot click this button when you leave the commit message empty.
2-4	Look in the bottom right corner of Atom. After you commited your change, it will show 'Push 1' to indicate that changes need to get pushed to GitHub. The number indicates the number of files that will be pushed to GitHub.
