the following is a summary of how to get things up and running,  note you should

READ INSTRUCTIONS ELSE WHERE IF YOU ARE STUCK

SEEK HELP IF YOU GET STUCK as there may be errors, these notes were to help me, but may be useful to others,  so please DO NOT follow blindly.

irc : irc.freenode.net #git is a good place to get help

firstly

git hub basic how to

1. goto www.github.com and create an account
2. create a repository
2a git hub will then give you https://github.com/user/projectname.git

from : http://git-scm.com/book/en/Git-Basics you also need to
837 git config –global user.name “username”
838 git config –global user.email e-mail

You should only have to do this once or once on each computer, if you re-install then you may have to repeat this.

on command line

then

make sure remote repository is there
git remote -v

mkdir projectname
cd projectname
touch readme.md
git init
git add readme.md
to add files do
git add *.py
git commit -m “project name”
git remote add origin https://github.com/user/projectname.git
git push -u origin master
git push

or

do git clone https://github.com/user/projectname and it will create a local copy of the repository then you should be able to :

to add new files after all this do

touch mine.py*
git add mine.py
git commit -m “test file”
git push

if after git cloning you may have to

git remote add origin https://github.com/user/projectname.git
git push -u origin master

then follow the steps above,

or create a new file with code / content within it, touch simply creates a new file,

Restarting Ubuntu safely when it is frozen

In case of a freeze where you cannot do anything, you can use the following

Alt+SysRq R S E I U B

“Raising Skinny Elephants Is Utterly Boring”

keep in mind that the underlined keys must be kept pressed through the rest of the sequence AND that you will need to keep holding the sequence keys for a small period of time before going to the next one so that their actions can be carried out properly (For example, hold the R key for about 1-2 seconds before moving on to S). If the sequence does not work at first, then increase the time period between each sequence key press and try again.

Safely shutting down Ubuntu when it is frozen

Alt+SysRq R S E I U O

This is similar to restarting except for the last letter.

What is going on here ?
R – takes keyboard and mouse control from the X server.
S – writes all data from the disc cache to the hard-discs,
E – sends SIGTERM to all processes except init.
I – sends SIGKILL to all processes except init
U – remounts all mounted filesystems read-only

O – shuts down the system via ACPI or in older system
B – restarts the system without making steps to ensure that the conditions are good for a safe reboot, using this key alone is like doing a cold reboot.

You could also use ssh to remotely login and then use

sudo shutdown -h now

sudo halt

or

sudo reboot

Hi all,

the release of the Raring Ringtail is in a couple of days and we will be having the traditional London pub meetup with the Canonical team. This time it will be at the Old Thameside Inn, next to the Golden Hind from about 6:30 on Thursday evening.
