Git and Github. How to reuse files for a repository

Question

I created a git folder on window and used it for my first commit to GitHub. I have now started using Mac. How do I go about editing my repository since I have the folder/readme file saved on windows. How do I recreate this on Mac.

Answer 1

You have to clone your repository on your mac, with the link provided in github.

Basically, you just need to do

git clone https://github.com/YOUR-USERNAME/YOUR-REPOSITORY

(though your connections need to be configured, or you will be prompted username and password)

Alternatively you can also use the GitHub app for Mac .

When you want to make some changes, you can commit them and push them on the github repo, and then pull the changes on your windows repo (or inverse).
