Getting Started
This tutorial will cover getting the code from our TryPy repository onto your computer. There's a simple way to download a zip archive of the files in the repository, like a snapshot of the current state of the repo. This is suitable for people who are just starting out, as it's the easiest way to download our code. You can fork the repository and clone that snapshot onto your machine, which would track the state of the repo and allow you to easily stay up-to-date with the timeline of the project. This is suitable for developers who would like to contribute to our project as well as users who would like to stay current with the various tutorials we will offer.
Navigate to the repository on Github
Make sure you're on the master branch. You can click the button on the left-hand side to see what branch you are currently on. The master branch should have a checkmark next to it.
Click the clone or download button to bring up the widget to download a zip archive of the repository. Click the Download Zip button and specify a directory to save the archive file to.
Extract the zip archive to your computer. Windows users and Mac users can follow their guides, while Linux users should have a sense of that already ;)
Navigate to wherever you extracted the files and get cracking! The README offers a guide for how to run the various programs in the repo and how to install the proper dependencies.
You'll start by "forking" the repo, which will basically create a copy of this repository in your Github account. Click the fork button in the top right corner of the repository to begin the fork.
Once you've forked the repo, you'll then clone the forked repo onto your machine through Git.
Right now your .git file points to only your snapped repository on Github. If you'd like to continue to receive updates when new tutorials are added, you'll need to add an upstream ref to the TryPy repo. To do so, enter the following git command.
Then if you want to update your fork with any changes made to the main TryPy repo you can enter the git command.
