Woah, @JohnYingling, what did you do? Crazy.
First thing's first, try removing your Project folder from Atom. Simply right click and select 'Remove Project Folder.'
Next, let's try re-initializing over the top of your current GitHub Repo. In the GitHub App, right click on your repo folder and 'remove it.' Click through the warning message.
Next, select 'Add a local repository' and locate your full repo path, like /john/homework/web-dev-hw. Press 'Fetch origin' at the top menu bar and see if you receive an error.
Then get back to me.
That worked without blowing up on me....but...I mean, I got no glaring error, but I still feel like I'm missing something.
I don't have both the "uncommited changes" box you are talking of, or the option to "Publish Repo" and I'm not sure why. Combed through everything multiple times.
Screens attached.
Wait wait, did I already do this?
I actually made this on Github's site first...but did it connect? I think it did! I can view my .readme!
I clicked "view on Github" in the Desktop app and it brought me here...
I think you're moving in the right direction, for sure. Try making a change to file, like your README, or even creating an index.html (just through in a few characters) and save it. Make sure you save the files, or the App won't recognize changes.
PS - I see a space in your screenshot filename... Watch out! That will be hard to link!
@JustineEvansUM Why would it be hard to link? Do you mean add to my Readme, or will I run into problems later?
Added to the readme already... will note this advice! :)
@JohnYingling You do have it connected according to your picture. To make a change you have to fill out the summary and description then you can commit. The button that says fetch origin will change to push to origin.
@JohnYingling and class, here's an Issue from your classmate of where a space in a filename can cause problems!
Working spaces is largely a graphical interface perk of operating systems, but it's not allowable in all coding. For example, I work natively, building my sites in full before pushing them to a server. Here's a shot of my CLI or command-line interface (which is Terminal for macOS).
You'll see I can't change my directory to the folder "My Cool Files." It doesn't even recognize it - "No such file or directory." If I want to access the folder, I have to use a \
to tell the system there's a space there. It gets really messy, believe me.
In other words, don't use spaces. You'll thank yourself later!
This was really helpful, I had very similar issues just in different order. Thank you!
Thanks, I also found this issue helpful as I has similar problems.
Sorted.
Having some serious problems here linking my Desktop Github to Atom.
Install seemed fine. What on earth is going on here?
