Tutorials about Github

Github is a site where you can host multiple Git repositories. It is particularly useful for open-source projects such as GEOS-Chem.

If you are going to be submitting code for inclusion into GEOS-Chem, we recommend that you set up your own Github account. You can then fork the GEOS-Chem repository (i.e. clone it directly to your Github account), modify it, and then create a pull request (i.e. request to merge your code into GEOS-Chem). Please see these resources for more information:

  1. An Intro to Git and Github for beginners (Hubspot)
  2. Github for beginners: Don't get scared, get started! (Lauren Orsini)
  3. Github for beginners: Commit, push and go! (Lauren Orsini)
  4. Creating a pull request (Github)
  5. Fork a repository (Github)
  6. Using the Fork-and-Branch Git Workflow (Scott's Weblog)
