Creating a local clone of the repository
The first thing you need to do is to create a clone of the master repository on your local machine. The "git clone" command pulls all of the code, branches, etc. for the entire history of the project into the current, local directory.
- In general, you might want to have several separate branches of the repository built simultaneously on your machine. For example, you may want to have a program running off of "VersionA" and meanwhile develop code separately on "VersionB." To do this, you need multiple clones of the repository.
Examples
To create a clone of the master repository into the directory <mydir>:
- sim-recon:
-
cd $GLUEX_TOP/sim-recon/
-
git clone https://github.com/jeffersonlab/sim-recon/ <mydir>
-
- hdds:
-
cd $GLUEX_TOP/hdds/
-
git clone https://github.com/jeffersonlab/hdds/ <mydir>
-

Add new files to git
If you create new files or directories, they are initially "untracked;" you need to add them to git to track them.
Example
To add a file to git:
-
git add <myfile>
